"Margot Datz is a mythical wisp herself, a wood nymph who walks this earth and paints by the mile. She lives by the sea, surviving on detail, the exotic, and on beauty. Her antennae are always high. She listens, she digests, and she pontificates with care and humor. If anyone in this dimension has heard messages from the merfolk, Margot would be the one." -- Patience Brewster, author, artist, and creator of the Krinkles™
