Imaginary Friends.
In this series children and little girls inhabit strange landscapes with even stranger creatures. What are they? Who are they? Are they friend or foe?
To Dunlop, these creatures are protective, mostly friendly or simply ambivalent. They aren’t quite what they seem, some have human hands and body parts, others are in masks and ribbons.

Fairy Tales
This series is filled with magic, mystery and morbid details. Fairy tales can stray from the happy into the surreal in a heart beat. Dunlop is fascinated by these tales that used to be told by the fire side, and which are found across every culture.
This series is painted on miniature post cards, in watercolour and pencil.
Fun Fact: Many of these fairytale designs were painted while my newborn daughter was napping, (in my lap or just out of sight).
