Molly Devlin’s art isn’t your typical wildlife portraiture. Sure, there are recognizable forms – a majestic stag, a wise old owl – but Devlin’s creatures are crafted from something unexpected: translucent botanicals and fungi. Delicate ferns unfurl as wings, bioluminescent mushrooms illuminate eyes, and spiderwebs transform into shimmering manes.
Devlin’s work is a stunning exploration of the interconnectedness of all living things. By using the natural world to depict the natural world, she creates a powerful symbol of our place within the grand ecosystem. Her paintings blur the lines between flora and fauna, reminding us that all life shares a common thread. The next time you’re strolling through the forest, take a closer look at the plants around you. Perhaps you’ll see a majestic stag grazing in a field of ferns, or an wise old owl perched on a luminous mushroom. After all, in Molly Devlin’s world, the wild things are all around us.
