Nedda
Shishegar
Faerie Artist and Fantasy Jewelry Designer
  Nedda
Shishegar was born on October 31, 1983, and currently lives
in Southern California. Fantasy has been a subject of interest
since childhood, so it is no mystery why she has chosen
faeries, mermaids, and other fantasy creatures as a consistent
theme in her artwork.
The medium she uses include watercolors, graphite pencils,
inks, markers, pastels and acrylic paints. She is inspired
by all of her surroundings, nature playing the biggest part.
She first began making jewelry in 2003 when she realized
the lack of faerie-esque jewelry to wear. After designing
a few pieces, there was an overwhelming response for them.
Nature’s raw beauty is her jewelry design inspiration.
She specializes in designs with leaves, and other natural
items with the thought in mind: "What would a Faerie
really wear?". Artist quote: “Why do I like to
draw fantasy? Because there are no limits, and no right
or wrong. It's based on your imagination, and no one can
tell you that it doesn't exist.”
Inspirations: Nature!
Favorite Fairy Music: Morgan (http://www.MorgansMusic.net),
Tori Amos, Bjork, and Emilie Autumn
Favorite Fairy Tale: Peter Pan, the Little Mermaid
