Amanda Happé

Toronto-based Amanda Happé is decidedly gifted in the painting and drawing areas of life. (As well as in the beautiful-long-red-hair area, but that’s another story.) Not one to shy away from color, Amanda embraces it wholeheartedly through all of her work. Her latest is a series referred to as Runes Water, full of stark imagery and simple shapes on clean white backgrounds.

Lorna Simpson

Lorna Simpson is a very accomplished artist, having created everything from large scale photo and text works to her latest – manipulated photographs from the 1950s. All of Lorna’s work confronts and challenges conventional views of gender, identity, culture, history, and memory, while each piece explores interactions, relationships, and experiences in contemporary America.

Yung Cheng Lin

Yung Cheng Lin‘s manipulated photography is attention-grabbing, that’s for sure. Her latest series strives to bring attention to female body modification through a digitally imposed piece of red string threaded through her subjects’ skin.

Johan Barrios

Columbian artist Johan Barrios works in graphite and watercolors to create some of the most beautiful mixed media results. The finished pieces leave me feeling as though I’m looking at washed out film that’s been dipped in a series of chemicals. But nope, just raw talent.

Seth Smith

While I realize we technically have over a month of summer left it also feels as though we’re crawling towards the finish line. That’s what Seth Smith‘s paintings feel like to me, the last few days and week of warm weather before school and other obligations start to creep in.

Drew Tyndell

Nashville, Tennessee’s Drew Tyndell manages to combine painting, sculpture, and collage into one explosion of incredible art. The puzzle-like end result shows off his skills in graphics and woodworking, as well as a killer mastery of color usage.

Lieke van der Vorst

I’ve been loving summer, but it’s no secret that I have crisp fall days on the brain. Lieke van der Vorst‘s illustrations of the outdoors, intimate gatherings, and cozy homes perfectly suit my mindset with their warm tones and patterns.

Tessa Horrocks

I’m new to the world of collagraphs, but if others suck me in half as much as the work of Tessa Horrocks I’m hooked. Her Pebbles Are Great series is particularly appealing because I have little rock collections and cairns randomly scattered around my home. (Now I demand you run to the nearest creek or beach and collect your own!)
