Stephanie Pui-Mun Law is a freelance artist whose work consists of fantasy, the other world, and the surreal.

Much of her inspiration comes from mythlogy, legend, and folklore, and her art seeks to find a whimsical kernel of reality.

她的作品大都來自神話、傳奇和民間傳說，她的藝術是想要尋求──去發現一個異想天開的現實。

她的藝術意識與型態都受到印象主義派、前拉斐爾派(見附註) 、超現實主義派與當前的很普遍的幻想藝術派很大的影響。

What she tries to convey with her art is not simply fantasy, but the fantastic, the sense of wonder, and that which is sacred.

In addition to painting into the twilight hours, Stephanie dances Flamenco at any spare moment, plays piano, and burrows through her books like a true bookworm.

附註：

前拉斐爾派（Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood），又常譯為前拉斐爾兄弟會，是1848年開始的一個藝術團體（也是藝術運動），由3名年輕的英國畫家所發起──約翰?艾佛雷特?米萊、但丁?加百利?羅塞蒂和威廉?霍爾曼?亨特。

他們的目的是為了改變當時的藝術潮流，反對那些在米開朗基羅和拉斐爾的時代之後在他們看來偏向了機械論的風格主義（Mannerist）畫家。

他們認為拉斐爾時代以前古典的姿勢和優美的繪畫成分已經被學院藝術派（Academic art）的教學方法所腐化了，因此取名為前拉斐爾派。

他們尤其反對由約書亞·雷諾茲（Joshua Reynolds)爵士所創立的英國皇家藝術學院（Royal Academy of Arts）的畫風，認為他的作畫技巧只是懶散而公式化的學院風格主義。

他們主張回歸到15世紀義大利文藝復興初期的，畫出大量細節、並運用強烈色彩的畫風。

前拉斐爾派常被看作是藝術中的前衛派運動，不過他們否認這種描述，因為他們仍然以古典歷史和神話作為繪畫題材以及模仿的藝術態度，或者是以模擬自然的狀態，來作為他們藝術的目的。

不過，前拉斐爾派毫無疑問將自身視為藝術界的改革運動，為他們的運動取了名稱以做區別，並且也出版了他們的期刊」The Germ」，以宣揚他們的概念。

《Faeries──仙境系列之Entwined》

Twisting, twined, and tangled, tumbling towards the yearning sky.
Like lovers locked in long embrace; their leaves drawn rustling sighs.
A hundred thousand years have marked their journey on the rings that
spiral out from mingled heartwood in the song that mem'ry sings.

《Faeries──仙境系列之Frogwings》

Dryads, allow your spindly arms to embrace crystal pearl.
A lovely, flighted maiden rests - guard her with twisted curls.
Soothing mists with rising crests recall lost fleet of spawn; the winged race, reptillian pests sing, lullabye the dawn.
Time soon forgets, the hour swirls upon a shim'ring lawn.
Freckled by mushrooms hiding till all mortal faces gone.
And true, time sleeps but biding while fate's shining knight comes riding.
As the vestel stays, sweet chiding fairied frogs who speak light charms.
--Earth's Song by Emily Wunder

The harbingers of the marathon sneezing bouts!
These mischievous sprites come peeking out when they scent spring in the air, and sprinkle their golden dust everywhere.

《Faeries──仙境系列之Seeking the Moth Queen》

They were listening that night. Or so he claims.
They listen at the windows where the light streams through.
The listen at the cracks where lamplight seeps through a doorway.
They come and listen when you light a candle.
So now we follow them.
Beyond the threshold of our lights, where the scents of fresh bread wafted in the night, and far beyond the mundane sounds that crashed through the house.
Into the silent crevases.
We shielded our lanterns that they would not immolate themselves and we followed them to seek the moth queen.
He says they listen all the time.
They memorize the stories that we tell one another in the brilliant glare of our dinner table, or the muttered dreams that escape our lips by a flickering candlelight.
Then they flitter through the dusk and gloam and pour these whispers out for her.
Perhaps we could taste some of those simmering dreams if we found her as well.
And so we listen tonight, and we follow.

Out into the maw of the night.
Little glimmer of wings.
Little glimmer of dust, that hovers then slips away.

Like the delicate scent of jasmine, she is elusive, hiding among the white blossoms.
