Links and Inspiration Vol. 4
Welcome to the 4th edition of Links and Inspiration from around the web! This time I’m highlighting five artists who are making some beautifully original art. Scroll down for more info and links!
1 - Not only is this baby sea turtle the most adorable thing ever, but can you believe that it is made entirely of pressed plants? UK based artist Helen Ahpornsiri has a whole collection of animal illustrations made from tiny bits of ferns and other foraged plants. See more of her delicate work on her website and Instagram.
2 - I saw @kwaya.art’s work on Instagram a while ago, and had a head explosion moment (in the very best way) when I realized that she was woodburning designs on paper! I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I was so inspired by her technique. Have a look for yourself here.
3 - You know I’m all about some painted leaves, so I was very excited to find the work of Sophie Parker from WIFE botanical studio in Brooklyn. See more of her sculptural botanicals on her website and Instagram.
4 - I’ve seen some of Michelle Robinson’s work being shared around Instagram recently and I absolutely love her style! Her combinations of acrylic and gold leaf on cotton paper and canvas are so striking. See more of her work on her website and Instagram.
5 - The Nesting Series was not my first encounter with artist Natalie Ciccoricco’s work, but it is by far my favorite. Her work is a very unique combination of embroidery thread and other materials, and usually incorporates elements of nature. Go have a look at more of her beautiful pieces on her website!
