Abbey Manellis is a figurative painter whose work explores tenderness, inner life and quiet guardianship. 

​

Her paintings often feature women accompanied by symbolic presences - birds, animals, floral forms - suggesting protection, instinct and the unseen structures that hold us.

​

Working primarily with paint and drawing, Abbeys practice is rooted in attentiveness and care. Her figures are not posed or performative: they are inward, reflective and quietly present.

 

Each work emerges through a slow, intuitive process that values restraint, emotional clarity and honesty of mark.

​

Abbeys original paintings form the foundation of

Willow & Wing Atelier, an evolving body of work that includes

fine art prints and small offerings.

 

The atelier is conceived as a living collection- a place where works are held, revisited and released with intention rather than urgency.

​

Her prints are open edition works, produced with the same care and fidelity as the original paintings. 

 

The original works remain held as part of the 

Willow & Wing Collection.

​

Abbey lives and works in Vancouver, Canada,

where her studio practice continues to develop around themes of belonging, protection and the quiet strength of inner worlds.

​

​

Willow & Wing Atelier is both a studio and a holding place -for images, stories and forms that ask to be lived with slowly.
