“I really like doing calendars as it’s a good way to introduce fantasy into people’s homes, throughout the year. I like to have love themed artwork for February and a gothic image for Halloween in October, for example. The calendar that is nearest to my heart this year is the one on Dragons. Dragons are my favorite subject to paint.” – Anne Stokes, Fantasy artist.

In October, Anne Stokes shared a video on Facebook, speaking about her calendars and how they are put together.
