Welcome to Faery Droppings! Here you will find oil paintings, acrylics, and mixed-media fantasy-themed art, from the studio of Georgia Papadakis.
A fantasy world inhabited by mermaids, strange angels, and mare-headed women awaits within; just click on "Mermaids" or "Intuitions" at left to see the galleries. All of the paintings are available for sale, unless marked "sold". I'm still working on a shopping cart and determining shipping fees, but if you're interested in a particular piece, feel free to e-mail me!

I stand at a crossroads. For twenty years, I have groused and despaired at being uprooted to Springfield, Ohio from my native home of Crete. I remember promising myself that as soon as I reached the age of 18, I would take off and explore the country in search of a place I would choose to call home, a place that was right for me in the same way Crete had been. Thanks to fate, circumstance, and simply being too scared to learn by trial and error, here I am at the age of 27, still living in the Springfield/Dayton area.
But now, change is happening! Matthew got accepted to law school at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, and is pretty sure that despite cuts in available grants, he's going to attend in the fall; and I am going with him. My impression is that Ann Arbor is a good place for an artist to live, and might be conducive to folksy art like mine in the same way Yellow Springs is.
I'm nervous, because I don't know if moving will make me any happier, or if it will make it any easier to make a living as an artist. At the same time, I have wanted to re-uproot for a very long time, and it gives me a sense of closure to be doing so.

On Wednesday, Matthew and I embarked on a trip to Ann Arbor and Chicago- those being two places we're considering moving to. Chicago has been a surprise, partly because I had no idea what to expect, not having spent any amount of time in an American city of this size.
We managed to find a few galleries, though admittedly it wasn't a priority in planning the trip. It seemed like most of the restaurants and many other stores doubled as 2D art galleries. The restaurants seemed more likely to show art a little more like mine than did most of the galleries proper.
I've been reading all sorts of books and articles about promoting your art, which offer a lot of good advice, some of which I consider taking.
