Have you ever been so enraptured by the natural beauty surrounding you that you feel as if the wonder of it actually becomes a part of you? I have suspect Pakayla Biehn has encountered this feeling. Her dreamlike works tell me she is one who also has visions of laying in a field of flowers and floating down sparkling streams.
Biehn’s work has such a quiet, poetic beauty. To look upon them seems as if we are encountering a hidden, magical place, filled with fairies and wood nymphs.
They remind me of the enchantment of the most beautiful places I’ve seen and of places from my dreams I have yet to visit.
To see more of Pakayla Biehn’s work, please visit her website. If you’re in Cali, you can see her work at Gallery Hijinks in San Francisco or at Thinkspace Gallery in LA.
Spring is almost upon us, artsies! Did you lose yourself in a lovely place over the weekend?
