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.

Time it turns upon the hour,/ Upon the sacred blooming flower./ Fan in florid flurry blends,/ Whirling whispers of second hands./ The absent body of the fae, Miku, is reminiscent of the magically disappearing Cheshire Cat above the Queen and King of Hearts, with her extended, clock-hand, Cheshire grin, from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The white porcelain cat that sits on a teacup handle does so much like the Cheshire Cat in a tree when conversing with Alice in Tenniel's illustrations. The melted teacup is a homage to Salvador Dali's surreal soft watches in "The Persistence of Memory" and the Mad Tea Party from Wonderland. Bittersweet elements of time are expressed through the presence of streaming droplets on the frosty-white windowpane background, as if waiting by a window on a chilly, winter day as well as through Miku's tearing eyes and forced, clock-hand grin. "Blue Porcelain" is a play between the vintage and techno-future, between the ephemeral and everlasting aspects of time--a remark on relativity.
