Laura Burke comes all the way from Brooklyn to present The Unseelie Court, loose botannicals.

"Inspired by Scottish folklore, the title references the Unseelie Court, a faction of fairies known for their mischievous and malevolent nature, contrasting with the more benign Seelie Court. Through her enchanting portraits and scenes, Burke brings these gremlins to life, inviting viewers into a fantastical world where joy and mischief intertwine. Each piece feels like a page from an imaginary storybook, showcasing these flower-headed beings as they dance under moonlight or practice ballet, infusing the works with a sense of delight and wonder."
