\"Charming<\/p>\n

For fans of cozy cottages, sipping tea with a good book, exploring misty woodlands, and relishing timeless folk- and fairytales, the illustrations of Vanessa Gillings<\/a> tap into a sense of comfort and wonder. Her protagonists, often donning witchy or wizard-like hats, appear to be on marvelous and mysterious journeys, sometimes accompanied by ravens, foxes, or butterflies as they explore forests, pen stories, or attempt to cast spells.<\/p>\n

The works shown here formed part of the artist\u2019s recent solo exhibition, Into the Woods, <\/em>with Gallery Nucleus<\/a>. See more on Gillings\u2019 website<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n
