Mili Fay, an award-winning artist, animator, and author/illustrator began her career at fourteen by painting her first portrait commission. At that time, as the only artist in her family, she negotiated a deal with her practical parents: they would allow her to study classical animation at Sheridan College if she earned above 90% in every single academic class in high school. They stipulated that her course load had to consist of advanced math and sciences. In 2005, Mili graduated from Sheridan as a Classical Animator.

In November of 2011, fearing that her imagination would drive her mad if she did not release it into the world, she created Mili Fay Art. Beyond art and storytelling, her vision is to use her talents to aid the world. Her miss

I had some "artists' blocks" in the past when the painting I wanted to create did not look like it did in my head. In that case I did lots of sketches, left it alone, talked to my friends...

I think it is important to get out of the house and meet with the world once in a while. You never know where you may stumble upon the solution to your problem.

I also believe that it is important to be open to receiving those solutions, instead of pushing something that just doesn't work. I try to not limit myself by the little thing we all know as "reality", but allow my mind to take me where it wants to go without censure (especially in the initial drafts). In the end, if need be, I can always pull myself back.(less)

However, the ones I'm most looking forward to getting my hands on are: "Within the Sanctuary of Wings" by Marie Brennan, "Lord of Shadows" by Cassandra Clare, and "The Dark Prophecy" (The Trials of Apollo) by Rick Riordan. I'm on the waiting list for the first, but my library did not get the other two yet. 🙁(less)

Mili Fay is 87% done with A Lady Would Know Better: I have an hour and a half left and I don’t know if I can push through it. The characters are “too stupid to live”. That is the only adjective I can come up with at this point. What woman, who knows that she ended up in the mess because she was pursued by someone, would walk off with a stranger who says he’s her cousin and leave her friends and safety behind? Lazy writing. I don’t like stupid characters.

Thank you. I'm delighted you invited me to be a friend. Your books sound like a lot of fun. I've bookmarked them for when I have more time to read. Lately, I just listen to audiobooks. :-( I'll see if I can download at least one to read on the plane. :-)


Sharon Wow, Mili, I'm delighted to have you on my friends list! Your art work is AMAZING!
