The studio has been a swirl of pine needles, paint strokes, and winter cheer as I prepare this year’s holiday collections. Each series began as a handful of sketches inspired by life in the Pacific Northwest — a place where the forest hums softly even in the coldest months. From snow-dusted evergreens to twinkling candlelight, these watercolor illustrations celebrate the quiet wonder that makes this season feel timeless.
Evergreen Winter captures that calm, nostalgic feeling of the woods after fresh snowfall — cedar boughs, pinecones, and the hush of morning light. Snow & Sparkle leans into the magic of winter nights, where stars, constellations, and frosted windows meet the shimmer of the Northern Lights. And Jingle Bells & Joy brings warmth and playfulness to the mix, with hand-painted illustrations of brass bells, wrapped gifts, and nostalgic toys that recall simple, handmade holidays.
Together, these collections blend cozy storytelling with the natural beauty of the season — a hallmark of Willowmark Studio’s art. Each piece is hand-painted digitally, one thoughtful brushstroke at a time, to bring the spirit of the forest home. Whether you’re drawn to the stillness of Evergreen Winter, the dazzle of Snow & Sparkle, or the festive charm of Jingle Bells & Joy, I hope these pieces spark joy and add a touch of woodland magic to your winter days.
