Jackie Harder’s Enchanted Creatures Are Straight Out of a Fantasy Novel

If you’re in the mood to explore some of the most enchanting and quirkiest corners of Instagram’s art scene, you should dive into the world of fantasy toys, sculptures, and other peculiar creatures. Jackie Harder is one of the artists ruling this world with her enchanted creatures from the Trillium Forest.

If you’re thinking of Googling the Trillium Forest in the hope you’ll get to see what it truly looks like, don’t waste your time. It’s a fantasy world that Harder came up with, in an attempt to “bring attention to the importance and magic of forest ecology and preservation.”

This imaginary forest is inhabited by Harder’s magical creatures, and she always comes up with amazing backstories for each one of them. She draws inspiration from plants and animals that truly exist, while simultaneously creating these enchanting creatures that look straight out of a fantasy novel.

Harder uses all kinds of different materials on her creative journey, ranging from polymer and epoxy clay to resin, acrylic paint, and glass. Her work is available for purchase on her official website, where you can buy separate pieces or sign up for her limited-edition discovery box.
