Candice Gray has just what you need to sprinkle a little bit of whimsy into your life.

Life is hard. Being a kid? Easy peasy lemon squeezy. If the mundanity of adult responsibilities has you wanting to time-travel back to a simpler existence of dress-ups and make-believe, we've got just the art for you.

These hand-painted illustrations from English print and textile designer Candice Gray will make you feel like you’ve just awoken from your afternoon nap in a nursery of toys and endless wonder. While Candice describes the whimsical illustrations – featuring story-time favourites like circuses and carousels – as “nursery and children’s prints”, we here at frankie HQ are big believers that there’s no age-limit on whimsy.

Although there is a range of designs for the more mature art-lover – like abstract florals and pieces of fruit – Candice's prints of hand-painted zebras and ballerinas are pretty hard to pass up. Trust us, your inner child will thank you later. Go have a peep at Candice’s prints on her Etsy here.
