Tree Dryad

A piece of my thesis project for OCADU

In Celtic mythology, tree dryads are often taken as brides by men, stolen from their forest homes and robbed of choice in the matter. Often, though, they are depicted as accepting of their fate, regardless of the desire to part from it. Though they live their lives longing, never able to love the man who stole them, they remain, their hearts with the maidens of the forest. #illustrator #artist #narrativeillustration
