Ailene Cuthbertson

Art with dance, fantasy, dreams, and light

Here’s to following your heart
and shining bright

With a glance, art can capture our imagination,
hit us right in the heart,

and fill our lives with magic.

Ailene Cuthbertson in her studio

Here, you’ll find my art – with otherworldly fantasy escapism, skirt-swirling, dance-inspired movement, and glimpses of stories.

Come with me, and let’s escape into
magic and wonder
