Fungus Fae

Watercolor and ink, 2022

Surreal watercolor illustration featuring a face emerging from a cluster of organic and mushroom-like forms. The face, textured and serene, is surrounded by vibrant red mushrooms with white spots, coral-like structures, and layers of colorful, wavy fungi in shades of gray, blue, and orange. The background is a dark, cosmic-like wash of deep blues and blacks, enhancing the ethereal and mystical quality of the composition. The artwork merges elements of nature and fantasy in a dreamlike depiction.

"Fungus Fae" is a watercolor and ink illustration by Claire Loon Baldwin featuring a face composed of different kinds of fungi, inspired by the 'Green Leaf Man', an ancient symbol of rebirth in Western Europe. It was created in 2022 as a private commission for a fungus enthusiast.

"Fungus Fae" is available as a sticker and print on Etsy.
