If you have a fondness for quaint cottages, enjoying tea while engrossed in a good novel, wandering through enchanting woodlands, and savoring classic folk and fairy tales, the artwork of Vanessa Gillings evokes feelings of nostalgia and wonder. Her characters, frequently adorned with whimsical hats reminiscent of witches or wizards, seem to embark on magical and enigmatic adventures. These journeys often feature companions such as ravens, foxes, or butterflies as they traverse lush forests, scribble stories, or practice enchanting spells.
The pieces displayed here are part of Gillings’ latest solo exhibition, titled Into the Woods, hosted by Gallery Nucleus. Discover more about Gillings on her official website and follow her creative journey on Instagram.
