Ailene Cuthbertson

Art with dance, fantasy, dreams, and light

Here’s to following your heart
and shining bright

It can be a busy, noisy, often ol’ dim world.

May you find your magic.

And may you ever dance to the music in your heart.

Ailene Cuthbertson in her studio

Hi, I’m Ailene,

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

Allons-y!
