Projects: FAYBEL' s (Elaine Nesbitt) work is in show at Mahtay Café & Lounge, in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada, this December. Her paintings will be on display at The Hub & Gallery in Ridgeway, Ontario, Canada throughout 2026. She is preparing to continue to write for Hyperlux Magazine on a special upcoming artist collaboration and is partnering with the renowned tablet company Wacom as an influencer. A collection of her earlier pieces is available through iCanvas, while several of her more recent digital originals are accessible through Poetic Tiger Gallery in Boise, Idaho, USA (online). Ellie is chief guest editor of " Art of the Phoenix: Path to the Inner Self" , a special issue of 365 Art + Magazine in Japan that will be open for submissions after her spinal injury is further stabilized. She has assembled DAE (Digital Artist Exhibitions), a group of 8 professional, multi-award-winning, digital artists, including Beautiful Bizarre Art Prize finalists, to promote a pro-digital narrative in fine art and galleries globally. Many of her pieces are painted for her " Timbretock" fantasy-fairytale universe.

The original kiu-fae with daisy irises from FAYBEL's unpublished fairytale The Tin Princess--Kiu was devised to capture an authentic watercolor and colored pencil aesthetic in the digital medium. Deep within the warrens of the Leviathan, a labyrinthian legend petrified to stone, foretold by soothsayers to have swallowed their world, kiu-fae distil soul essence from the ether into pungent morning dew on metal-meshed, cyborg blooms. Crystals cluster in cyborg floral beds, absorbing distilled souls made by the kiu, forming colorful shards used in android cores.
