Fantasy Artist Jessica Galbreth

About Me


My name is Jessica....I'm a professional fantasy artist working out of northwest Ohio. You may have seen my work in your local shops, in catalogs or on-line. I think I've noticed alot of it posted in other people's My Space areas - lol. I paint faeries, goddesses, gothic art and anything fantasy. You can see my work at: The Enchanted Art of Jessica Galbreth - official home page
I also just discovered that I have a MySpace fan club - how cool is that?! Jessica Galbreth Art Fan Club
Please don't be offended if you send me a message and I don't reply - I get a ton of them and if I replied to every one of them, I'd never be able to paint again! :) I do try to read every one of them though, and will try to approve all friend requests.
I'm married, have two little ones (a son and a daughter). My husband Josh works for my company also (we are pretty busy around here). I have a younger brother Steve who lives in New York and an older sister Collette who lives in Hawaii.
In addition to the art thing, I love to garden, drink dirty martinis (in moderation), eat sushi (never in moderation) and read scary/horror type books.
The following is a sampling of my work (there is more to see under my Photos section). Special thanks to Julie Fain for doing this cool slideshow thang with my paintings.
Update! I disabled html in all my comment areas, because of all the spam and potential virus hazards...so sorry to all of you with those cool, glittery sparkle tags! But, please do leave me a comment still, I read them all! I've also started updating my Pics section regularly with new photos from my travels/shows, etc.

My Interests

fantasy art, dirty martinis, gardening, gossiping with girlfriends, sushi and chocolate (but not together).

I'd like to meet:

Jerry Seinfeld (we have the same birthday and I love Jerry).

Music:

Loreena McKennitt, Tori Amos, Rob Zombie, Xymox, Bruce Springsteen, really bad 80's music (not the big hair kind, more of the new wave kind)....how's that for an ecclectic mix.

Movies:

Napoleon Dynamite, The American Movie, Eyes Wide Shut, Narnia, Clash of the Titans, Practical Magic.

Television:

Update! New obsession....Firefly. How dreamy is Mal? And I really wish I had all of Inara's outfits. Also...LOST - I'm obsessed....and Court TV too.

Books:

Anything Anne Rice, though I think I've now read them all.

Heroes:

My husband and kids (cheesy I know, but true).

My Blog

Lord of Wild Things...

New Years Ramblings....

I have to admit I'm breathing a HUGE sigh of relief that the holidays are over.  Our orders double, no quadruple at that time of year...and while that is exciting, it's also very stressful. ...
