About the Artist
Hi! I'm Devin. Welcome to my calm & cozy fairytale world. I am a lifelong artist, designer & hand-crafter working from my New England home in a quaint historic village.
​
I created Emberwood for my fellow magic & fairytale enthusiasts, creatives and dreamers; with a goal to help us all kindle our sense of child-like wonder, by finding magic in the mundane of everyday life. I believe in chasing magic wherever you find it, and creating it where it lacks. There is magic everywhere, you only need to look.
​
As a teen, I sought out magic as an escape from the real world, and now the world is my endless source of magical inspiration. Growing up as "the weird kid", fantasy and fairytales have always been my escape, because in a fantasy world anything "different" is socially accepted, or even celebrated. In a make believe world, no one questions the strange and unusual, and no dream is unrealistic.
​
With this sentiment in mind, I am on a mission to romanticize real life and to help others do the same. My creations aim to reflect the subtle beauty, serenity, and simple joys of life and nature. I sprinkle in this magic wherever I can.
​
Go ahead and follow the magic, get lost in the enchanted forest, and see what treasures you may find. I'll meet you there.

About the Artwork
My work occupies the liminal space where the fae world spills over into ours.
I draw much of my inspiration from nature and natural materials. While my main focus is magic, fairytales and fantasy, I also like to use my art as a platform to express causes I care about, such as protecting nature and empowering women to embrace their right to take up space in the world. I try to channel my own gentle and tranquil energy into something with loud and powerful meaning. I hope my creations can inspire passion, confidence and enchantment.
I would describe my art and design style as “whimsically minimal”. I create the perfect marriage of whimsy and simplicity by combining highly textural, intricate details with simpler lines and flat shapes. I aim to give my work a calm, peaceful and ethereal tone by using soft, muted and neutral colors, delicate features and organic mark making.
​
A unique feature I enjoy in my work is the use of continuous-line elements, whether in the background, foreground, or as the main subject of a painting. Be sure to look for the two spiral shapes, which indicate the beginning and end of an unbroken line, which you can follow and trace with your eye.
​
As a painter, my primary medium is watercolor. I like to accent the watercolor with other media such as colored pencil, charcoal, ink, gouache, wax resist crayon, and gold leafing. I love the texture and atmosphere that mixed media gives to a piece of artwork. As a hand crafter, I explore various mediums including sewing, embroidery, woodworking, crochet, block printing and jewelry. My favorite materials to work with are natural fiber fabrics & thread, cork leather, wood, and crystals. I enjoy creating elegant, minimalist jewelry & accessories with a whimsical touch.
