About the Author

Iris Compiet is your guide to the Faultlines, a world filled with faeries and creatures from beyond the veil. A traditional artist and illustrator from the Netherlands, Iris has always known exactly what she wanted to do: paint and illustrate fantastical beings and share them with the world. Storytelling is an essential part of her artwork, and as an artist she strives to lure spectators to make them feel a connection with her work and ignite their imaginations. She draws inspiration from European folklore, mythology, fairy tales, ghost stories and anything from tombstones, Victorian photography, popular movies, and music. She has made a name for herself on Kickstarter with several projects, but most noticeably with Faeries of the Faultlines.

What People are Saying About This

Guillermo Del Toro

Iris Compiet is the rarest of artist: That who invokes a complete and cohesive reality with every image she creates. Beautiful, powerful and contemplative all at once. — Guillermo Del Toro

John Howe

The two touchstones of fantasy are voice and vision. Voice is the ability to ask of the spectator or reader the willing suspension of disbelief, to travel in company of the Trickster, to see the fantastical hidden behind the commonplace. Vision is the clairvoyance that enables the artist to see – and depict - what only they can discern: glimpses of the wildly wonderful realms of the imagination.

Those special places between worlds, where they encounter one another and occasionally overlap, are the ley lines of the fantastical. They are the cracks, the fissures in the mundane, the fault lines through which we can briefly catch sight of what does not exist.

I have known Iris for many years. I have watched her find her voice. I am enchanted by her vision.

- John Howe

From the Publisher

“Iris Compiet’s work is an astonishing and masterful revelation of the Faery Realms. She is an artist who, with stunning alacrity, reveals the fleeting personalities of the normally unseen.”
