Jessica Galbreth was born April 29th, 1974 in Toledo Ohio, and began her love of fantasy art at a very young
age. Prints, original paintings and gifts from her Enchanted-Art collection are now found in public and private
collections throughout the world.
"I draw much of my inspiration for my art from the intricate beauty of nature, as well as from my fascination with
ancient mythology. Many times, when I am painting my "portraits" of deities from ancient myth, I feel as if I am
just a vessel - whereas I am being "used", so to speak, to bring forth the images onto paper. Often, my finished
works look nothing like I planned them to...it's as if my hands are being guided by unseen forces as the painting
takes on a life of its own." - Jessica Galbreth
Jessica always excelled in art, especially painting. After winning an award for a painting in high school, Jessica
decided to pursue her dream by studying fine art at the University of Toledo inside the Toledo Museum of Art.
Here she learned various techniques of drawing and painting, with an emphasis on the human figure. After
college, Jessica set out to begin her professional art career. Always having a deep appreciation and fascination
with fantasy art, it seemed only natural that she take this path with her art. It has been a decision that Jessica
has never regretted.
"Even as a little girl, I loved all types of fantasy art. I remember collecting stickers, calendars, books (virtually
anything I could get my hands on) that depicted fantasy and mythological artwork. Over the years, I filled
countless drawing pads with my own fantasy renditions: unicorns, fairies, dragons, mermaids and the like. Even
to this day, I still get that old familiar rush of excitement when I look at a beautiful fantasy painting. It is this
incredible exhilaration that keeps me painting my own creations in hopes that I too can evoke these feelings in
the hearts and minds of others. I can't tell you how it makes my heart sing when I hear from others who tell me
how my art has touched them in a special way. I am inspired by many things...Mother Earth and all her beauty,
with all of her faeries and nature spirits, the glorious moon above with all her mysteries, the twining vines and
twisted trees of the forest, the twinkle in my little girl's eyes as she discovers the world around her, and most of
all, by the magic that exists in even the smallest things. Each painting is like a wonderful journey for me, and I
never know just where it will take me in the end." - Jessica Galbreth
Jessica's original paintings can be found in countless public and private collections throughout the world.
Patrons can also purchase Jessica's prints and gift items featuring her art in shops and galleries throughout the
world.
Jessica married her high school sweetheart, Josh, on January 20th, 2001 in a candle-lit winter evening ceremony
in an old fashioned chapel. Josh works as an F-16 Air Craft Mechanic for the Air Force and Air National Guard in
Toledo, Ohio. Together, they make their home in an enchanted house in West Toledo where they live with their
daughter Julia Rose, born February 24th, 2003, as well as a whole bunch of pets they consider their kids (Nala
the dog, 4 cats, a boa and a yellow-plated lizard named Reggie).
