Our happy ending for our adventuresome little fairy shows her flying gaily off into the sunrise and waving good-bye to her friends the mice, Mrs. Corrigan and Mrs. Gillespie and the butterflies. Her wing is even better than before, because now she can really fly, and can't wait to at last visit the Castle of Dreams that beckons to her from the sunrise. You can see the tree where the Fairy Doctor has her office. The mice are a bit sad to see her go, but pleased she is recovered. We join them in wishing her a safe and happy journey and know we'll all see her again soon.

The paintings of Mary Baxter St Clair take you into a magical world of fairies, angels, pixies, and wide-eyed children. Viewers are enveloped by the painter's sense of wonder and love for all things pure and innocent.
 
Born in St. Clair Shores, Michigan, into a creative family, the artist insists that "Fairies and angels have been part of my life since I was small and have always been very real to me." She  "borrows" their magic in her craft, painting with such realism as to create a longing in the viewer to believe her cherubs are real, and captured undetected on her canvases. The artist believes that fantasy is essential to keep us balanced in this all too real world.
 
Mary Baxter St Clair lives on the island of Kauai where she revels in the beauty of the underwater world and cheers at passing whales.
