Well, my real name is Misty Auld and Aisling (or Aisy) is a nickname of mine, so I thought it would be fun to use it with my faerie sculptures. I am a wife and mother of 6 boys living in Cambridge, OH and have been an artist almost all of my life.

Prior to sculpting, I have drawn/painted animal artwork. I have equine, wildlife, and pet portraits in private collections across the country. I have also painted two maquettes (table top size resin sculptures) for The Trail of Painted Ponies. That was fun :)

I started sculpting approx. at the end of June in 2005. I dove into all of the tutorials/DVDs/books (Kathryn Dewey) on sculpting miniatures and faeries that I could find and very rapidly found myself hooked whole heartedly on sculpting.

I haven't put clay down since!

Creating these little faeries is pure joy and an amazing thing for me. Being there as they start out a lump of clay and then watching as slowly their personality and shape begin to come together has been very powerful and deeply touching for me. I hope that they bring that same joy to others as well.

I thank God everyday for the gift of art he has given me and for my wonderfully supportive husband and family without whom I would not be able to do what I do.
