“STILL WAITING FOR THE FAIRIES” by TERESA FRANKS
SELF-PORTRAIT - 2017 - 2026
Exhibited at Robina Hospital - Creative Hub Initiative 2026
My childhood memories are filled with happy times in the forest in western New South Wales with my artist grandparents searching for fairies and fairy rings (mushrooms in a circle where the fairies dance at night). We would spend hours just walking around and searching in nature.
“Still Waiting For The Fairies” is a self-portrait depicting me sitting under one of the mushrooms, pencil and sketch pad in hand, waiting to capture a glimpse of my elusive fairies dancing. A fairy sits secretly on a mushroom behind me – waiting to fly away should I look her way.
The artwork began as ink airbrushed onto the canvas but I wanted to give a dream-like quality to this piece by enhancing it with acrylic and then creating a background indicative of the old masters to evoke a feeling of whimsy and magick.
This work is currently being exhibited at the Robina Hospital on the Gold Coast as part of the Creative Hub Initiative 2026.
