Magic can be found everywhere around you if you pay attention, and Caroline Dewison’s dioramas are inviting you to take a closer look. She’s the founder of A House of Wonders, which specializes in making whimsical miniatures that will take you deep into the woods.
Dewison is an artist from Warrington, England, and her miniature dioramas are mostly inspired by the natural beauty of the forest surrounding her home. Discovering this art form was somewhat of a happy accident – she was initially experimenting with beads and clay and sourcing materials from model railways, before deciding to take them to the next level.
“I specialize in the use of miniatures and dioramas to create magical and enchanting pieces of art inspired by the natural world, past, present, and future. My passion is to create secret places and hidden worlds, where nature reigns supreme, transporting viewers through miniature portals to a realm of fantasy and imagination,” she writes on her official website.
Dewison now uses a wide range of different materials to bring her dioramas to life, from acrylic paint and clay to laser-cut plywood and 3D-printing pens. They usually depict breathtaking nature scenes, but Dewison also enjoys adding UFOs to the mix to give them an outlandish feel and evoke the feeling we’re not alone in the universe.
