Claire Desjardins

The art of Claire Desjardins

 

Claire Desjardins is a Canadian artist who sells her art internationally and has had her art licensed at  major retailers such as Anthropologie. 

I first came across Claire's art work a few years ago on the Anthropologie online website. I was blown away by her use of strong colors and composition. What really attracts me to her art is her use of space. Her abstract paintings utilize space, color, and geometric shapes to create compelling art. Looking at her paintings just makes me happy!

I was browsing the internet and decided to type in bohemian collage. I found an image of a beautifully colored collage and immediately clicked on the image. I ended up on a site that featured Micci Cohan's art. I was blown away by her use of color and had to look her up. I found her website and etsy shop and was amazed by her beautiful creations.

The colorful art of Atelier Bingo

 

I came across the beautiful and super colorful art of Atelier Bingo on instagram (I find many awesome artists this way). As I looked through their art images on instagram, I was blown away by the interesting shapes, vivid colors, and the variety of marks that created patterns. There is something so pleasantly interesting about their art. The way they deconstruct and construct their shapes and create an elaborate patchwork of colors and patterns intrigues me. I will be honest, looking at their art makes me happy.

The artist behind Atelier Bingo are Maxime Prou and Adele Favreau. They are artist from France and their experience as illustrators, surface designers and graphic designers allows them to create colorful abstracts.

Randel Plowman Art

Collage art by Randel Plowman

 

I am currently taking an online collage class taught by Stephanie Levy. In this class, Stephanie interviews a number of collage artist and one of the interviews was with Randel Plowman. I am really loving his collage work. The composition in his collage work is strong and his use of the principles of design contribute to the effectiveness of his collage. Randel has a MFA in printmaking from the University of Wisconsin and has exhibited in numerous solo and juried exhibitions in the US. He also has a popular blog called A Collage A Day, where he showcases a collage each day with the ability to purchase. Really love his work. Please do check out his website: http://randelplowman.com

Alena Hennessy

Art by Alena Hennessy

 

One of  my favorite artist is Alena Hennessy. I discovered her work about 2 years ago in a yoga or health magazine ( don't remember which one). There was a picture of her with her hands covered in a colorful blend of paint. She had such a peaceful, creative, and spiritual energy that I decided to look her up. I am so glad I did because her art is phenomenal. There is a fluid and dreamy appearance to her artwork and the colors always wow me. In addition to creating beautiful art, Alena is a teacher and conducts various workshops and online classes. She is also the author of two books. She is an amazing person and an incredible artist.

Etsy Artist Hayley Mitchell

Gorgeous Floral and Abstract Art

 

I  discovered the art of Hayley while browsing flower paintings on etsy. As soon as I saw her paintings my heart skipped a beat. The flower paintings are painted in a modern style. The colors are juicy and vivid and Hayley loves to adorn her paintings with a variety of patterns to make the art pop. In addition, she has recently added some abstract art to her shop and they are too good. I mean this artist is going places. Her composition is on point and the color choices are fabulous.
