Artist Recommendations: My Favourite Artists, Part 2!

A short while ago I wrote about my top 5 favourite artists working today, but once I got going, I found I had way more than 5! So here is my part 2: another 5 artists I recommend you check out this instant.


Contents


KIRSTY MCINTYRE


Up first is Kirsty McIntyre, whose work I have admired for an incredibly long time. An Australian artist working out of Melbourne, her art has a strong theme of Australian nature, and as you might expect from one of the warmest countries in the world: her work is bright, fresh and full of sunshine.

'Gum Blossom Kings' by Kirsty McIntyre

JACQUELINE COLLEY


Next is Jacqueline Colley, whose neon bright, contemporary artwork is full of humorous twists and plays on words. She often uses vintage style packaging and lettering within a very contemporary style to create works that will bring you joy. This is one of my favourites, and one day, I will be able to buy it!

KAREN O'NEIL


With a particular gift for capturing glassware, Karen O'Neil's paintings are often still life scenes in fresh and vibrant colours (we're going colourful today apparently!). I just love the blocky colours that somehow make up delicate glassware. I wish I could paint like this!

JENNIFER L MOHR


If stunningly beautiful, close up landscapes are your thing, then look no further. Full of whimsical colours that offer up dreams of windswept hills and wildflowers, Jennifer L Mohr's work makes my heart ache it's so pretty.

MARGARET JEANE


Want more landscapes utilising beautiful pastels? I'm happy to oblige. Margaret Jeane's work is a deep breath; open space and clear skies. Her interpretation of light will make you feel the warmth on your skin.


Some thin trees in the foreground cast shadows on the ground as a gentle light shines through them. In the background is a mountain and vast blue sky. It is rendered in pastel colours contrasted with burgundy shadows and olive green details
