When clients first approach her work, they may have a perplexed look about them, as all they see first are the feathers. Upon taking a closer look, a great big smile emerges across their face. Linda Rae watches closely for and savors this smile. Some of her clients say her sculptures really do have a life-like spirit! She can create the exact same one over and over, but no two are ever alike. They each take on their own personality --perhaps it’s the frame of mind she is in when she is creating that infuses their spirit. Her secret is that she really doesn’t sell Fairies … she sell smiles! Her work makes people smile and invokes a great sense of joy! It brings joy to her when she creates, joy to the client who buys them and joy to the gift recipient who receives them. This joy is what makes her work so rewarding.
