The artists behind Enchanted are Mark Turner and Michael Steel. Mark has worked in the field of art and design for some 25 year, for example at Shepperton Film Studios in the early eighties. Since then he has undertaken commissions, both domestic and commercial, transforming rooms with paintings and 3-D murals, stimulating the imagination of children and adults alike.

Michael has also worked at Shepperton Studios, was involved in many films, the latest being Gladiator. Prior to meeting Mark and setting up the Enchanted Studio, Michael had been involved in commercial sculpting and design for fifteen years. Medieval architecture, Victorian and Pre-Raphaelite art has had a great influence on his sculpting and together with Mark their combined talents have found an avenue for expressing that which they truly believe the Realm of Enchanted.
