Carolynn Anctil Design

Watercolour Illustrator * Storyteller

Handcrafted in Canada.

My style of art creation is lighthearted, with a hint of magic, and is designed to inspire joy. It is my sincere hope that my works of art are a place of rest for a mind made weary by the noise and chaos of our world.

Photo of framed print, Anniversary Elf on a white background next to alice of cake on a dotted plate with two candles and coloured streamers. An elf wears a patchwork cap of green and layerd dress in green, brown and caramel. Her hair is red and the Carolynn Anctil Design flower logo hangs from her point ear like an earring. She faces left and her left hand is stretched back behind her. On the hand sits a purple butterfly. The elft stands on her tippy toes and has a filligree tattoo on her hip and her calf is wrapped with caramel coloured fabric. 3 toadstools are on the ground behind her. Her right hand reaches up to light a candle set in a cupcake with orange icing. Below the cupcake the words Imagine, Believe, Dream are stacked. A ladybug sits atop the letter M in dream and leafy branches separate the words.
