Fragments of Wonder

In a world that often rushes by, these tiny works ask you to pause, breathe, and look closer. Each piece in this collection is a testament to the power of the small—the little worlds that fit in the palm of your hand but hold entire stories within their frames.

Chris Foster’s miniature paintings are crafted with a meticulous eye for detail, capturing the delicate balance between nature and imagination. Whether it’s the curl of a fern, the shimmer of a beetle’s wing, or the dreamlike haze of a surreal landscape, each piece is a window into the quiet beauty of the world around us.

Through layers of watercolor, ink, and resin, these miniatures hold the magic of the overlooked, the fleeting, the ephemeral—each fragment a moment caught, preserved, and brought to life in striking detail.

Each miniature in  Fragments of Wonder is a true labor of love, crafted entirely by hand. From the intricate painting to the custom-cut frames and resin finishes, every detail is brought to life by Chris’s hands—except for the magnet backing. That’s the only part that isn’t handmade, but everything else is created with precision, patience, and care.
