Erzebet
Barthold has been a writer and artist for twenty-six years whose focus
is the exploration of the fairy and folk tale as a medium of feminine
transformation. Her written works include the occasional poem but mostly
range from the microtale to the short story. Illustrations are done
in gouache or oil on varying surfaces, but the bulk of her primary paintings
are oil on board with subject matter that is whimsical and sometimes
thought-provoking.
Erzebet
is the founder of Papaveria Press, specializing in handmade chapbooks
of fairy tales, poetry and art. Combining her love of both literary
and visual art, these books are currently written, illustrated and bound
by Erzebet, though she hopes to be able to publish the works of others
at some point in the future. Papaveria Press is not an entirely for-profit
venture. It exists in order to celebrate female voices in the fairy
tale genre and to publish certain works that don't seem to fit into
existing markets.
