An ongoing series of small oil paintings and pencil drawings by Sheryl Humphrey, illustrating "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking-Glass" by Lewis Carroll.
The Alice books are masterpieces created by Carroll and the illustrator John Tenniel, and Humphrey’s new illustrations are intended not to supplant them, but to pay homage. “The fact that these books are still inspiring new interpretations is testament to their greatness,” Humphrey says.
Humphrey’s works include the familiar Carrollian characters of Humpty-Dumpty, the Cheshire Cat, and the Red and White Queens. But she also interprets some lesser-known passages of the Alice books, offering a new twist on the old themes.
