Around her drift the wilis
You can find all sorts of things in a dark forest. Especially when it’s nice and atmospheric like this. Look at that mist curling around the black tree trunks, the moon peering through the overhead boughs, those mysterious shadows. This is loup garou territory for sure. I wouldn’t be at all surprised to meet a party of desperate Scottish Highlanders outrunning the red coats. And there’s always the possibility of coming across ghosts…
This particular forest is infamous for the wilis—the ghostly spirits of young women who were betrayed by their lovers and died of grief. Someone thought it was a grand idea to put their graves out here, in the forest. Each night, they rise.
But don’t worry, you’re pretty safe from all of that. Neil Gaiman says you can trust the wolves (just don’t tell them where you’re going). Unless you’re a sassenach, the Highlanders will likely leave you alone. And the ghosts? If you’re one of the dead jilted brides, like Giselle, you’ll join their ranks. If you’re a man and foolish enough to stray into their glade, they’ll capture you and force you to dance until you die. Apart from that, you’ll be fine. Probably.

Framing
Go unframed, so you can choose the framing to accent your own décor.
Go framed, if you wish your artwork to arrive ready to hang on the wall. I hand-picked this timeless beauty for this collection—the frame itself has received many compliments from exhibition visitors! And, to protect your precious artwork even more, it also comes with UV protective glass.
(Please note that I don’t ship framed artworks overseas due to the glass.)

Within New Zealand, I offer free shipping for unframed prints in this collection. Otherwise—for framed, or shipping overseas—shipping prices will vary. Get in touch, let me know what exotic location you’re at and I’ll get you an estimate. Read the shipping policy here for more information.
