I’m loving the illustrations and paintings of Katty Huertas, particularly her series of self-portraits. (The piece above captures the way I perceive my own internal monologue just about perfectly.) From realistic to whimsical, girl can do it all.
Brazilian artist Antonio Lee‘s paintings are just vague enough to leave you wondering. Their expressions – and sometimes entire lack of face – leave much to our imaginations, which is always an artistic aspect I love to decipher.
Hope Gangloff‘s artistic history is fantastic to read about. These days her large-scale paintings are created from frantic and loose modeling by a long list of volunteers and inanimate objects. I love the intentionally exaggerated features in many of her pieces.
The paint- and illustration-block technique of Ian Thomas Miller is a fresh and captivating approach to storytelling. Lots of hands and pop culture references pop up, and Miller also has a gift for photography. Oh, and he’s only 22-years-old, looking forward to more from this guy.
This isn’t my home, but Carole Rabe‘s oil paintings captures these spaces in much the same way as I view my house. All blurry with warm light at golden hour is my favorite time of day to sit with a glass of wine in the living room.
Clare Woods‘ artworks are full of loose brushstrokes, biomorphic shapes, and a color palette I can’t get enough of. I’m especially drawn towards the nearly macabre looking portraits she favors, with all of their dark shapes and mystery.
Caitlyn Murphy‘s slice of life gouache paintings capture everything from corner bodegas to backyards with pets to sporting events. I love her way of blurring the details in favor of the bigger picture.

Marta Spendowska‘s watercolors bring so many emotions to the surface for me, I actually have three of her pieces in my own home. The Polish-born artist works with no concept in mind, relying instead on the beauty of color and shape and the variable of chance that comes with creating. The contrast, bleeds, distortions, and even mistakes are what make her work so utterly human. Please take a peek at her shop to pick something up for yourself.
New York-based Ana Cardoso creates some truly inspiring painted installation pieces. Historical references, conceptual and structural concerns, and distribution are all key elements that go into each balanced piece.
