For this photo shoot, Editor Tamara Styer and Beauty Director Kristen Lentz were inspired by “The Fauness,” an illustration and sculpture in Rose O’Neill’s Sweet Monsters collection.
Modeled by Cori Edwards and photographed by Matt Loveland, Styer and Lentz set out to capture the charm and whimsy of the female version of the faun - a mythological half-human, half-goat creature notorious for their lustful nature and their love of the forest and music. Though few female fauns can be found in stories, our Fauness is as beautiful as she is sly and cunning, luring us into her wooded abode with dancing and the eerie enchantment of her pan flute song.
This creation will be on display at the Springfield Art Museum's 99x: Myths & Monsters event on Saturday, September 28. We are honored to be featured in the most anticipated annual event in the Queen City. We will share behind the scenes photos and videos of the event, right here on deitramag.com!

(September 18, 2019) – The Annual 99x (Times) Party, a Museum signature fundraising event benefiting the Collection Preservation & Conservation Fund returns on Saturday, September 28, 2019. Begun in 2014, the 99x Party has raised over $64,000 in critical conservation funds in order to help preserve the Museum's collection for the next 100 years so it can continue to delight and educate audiences for generations to come.This year's event, 99x: Myths & Monsters, raises funds to restore 59 newly donated works to our collection by Rose O'Neill, a portion of which are slated for a focus exhibition in 2022. Twenty-three local stylists, artists, and musicians will transform the Museum into an enchanted woodland of living art tableaux and performances - all inspired by Rose O’Neill’s mythical and fantastical creatures called "Sweet Monsters." A 2019 inductee into the National Women’s Hall of Fame, O’Neill was a prolific artist, illustrator, inventor, author, bohemian, fashion icon, and suffragist with strong local ties.
