About Nancy & Echui
Echui: 'Echui' means 'awakening' in the Sindarin dialetic of the Elvish language from J.R.R.Tolkien's Middle Earth.  I have gone through several major artistic awakenings in recent history:  February 1992 (triggered by my divorce), July 1993 (triggered by the song 'Zooropa' by U2), June 1997 (triggered by the possibility of working on a movie) and May 1999 (triggered by SWI: Phantom Menace), Fall 2001 (triggered again by U2 - 'Beautiful Day') and several triggers between December 2001 and onward (Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings: FOTR, TT, ROTK).

Echui.com came into being November 2000 to host my artwork and separate the two worlds of my small business (Lost World Productions) and my art endeavors.

Nancy, me, the owner & artist:  enjoys collecting a lot of different things (too many sometimes and some of it ends up out for sale or trade to allow me to get more stuff) from sci-fi to fantasy to Disney to nostalgia to the arts. I have a day job but am also an artist/designer (and a Gemini so beware). I have been an artist my whole life and finally admitted that is what I am, first and foremost, in 1999.  I just finished writing one of my story lines (a Star Wars story and it turned out to be book sized). I will be working on another off-shoot storyline - this time it will take place in Middle Earth. (I scratched the romantic comedy screenplay (or book) as a recent movie kind of covers it, with a different twist but enough for me not to bother)...they are in my head and must get written to allow room for other projects....with illustrations. Born in Year of the Snake . Nancy's Bird Life List.
