In the news: Fairy Tree Studios has recently been featured in both Smile Politely and Experience Champaign-Urbana‘s 2025-26 Experience Guide — check out the interview on page 26!

Fairy Tree Studios has a booth at The Vault Art Gallery in Tuscola, Illinois! The Vault is a former bank building in downtown that’s been refashioned into a gallery featuring more than 50 artists, artisans, and crafters from around central Illinois. They’re open daily from 10am-5pm and often host special events and exhibits on weekends.

The FTS booth offers original paintings, prints, note cards (individuals and packs) and now pocket journals too!
