A Little Bit About The Artist

Caitlin Turner

Inspired by old fairy tale tomes, folklore, classic fantasy literature, and the natural world, I intend to evoke feelings of whimsy, macabre, and surreal, taking the viewer back to a childlike view of the world—scary, intense, yet magical.
Using a hybrid of traditional and digital materials, I create pieces full of detail in black or white or with a subdued, muted palette.
I've always loved monsters and the history and myth that surrounds them.

Trick or treat?

Treat please! :)

 
Do you like scary movies? And if so which ones?

I used to more than I do now, I prefer films with a dark/horror element like Guillermo Del Toro's 'Pan's Labyrinth' and John Carpenter's 'The Thing'.

 
Whats the biggest influence on your work?

 

Classic fantasy/fairy tale illustrators such as Brian Froud, Arthur Rackham, Alan Lee etc, I could go on and on!
