Kate Durkin is an artist from New York who creates beautiful and childlike works of art. Painting and hand embroidery are her loves and any one of her pieces would be a perfect gift. She studied at The New School in NY and also received a certificate for painting from SACI in Italy. Her design skills and overall craftsmanship proves her an awesome artist.

With a number of solo and group exhibitions under her belt, she now works in Queens and has a shop on Etsy where she sells her paintings and pillows. Her palette is serene yet playful with a sophisticated touch. Her Owl print below is a great example of this. Look to her work for natural color schemes that are whimsical and fun.

Miniature Rhino is the shop of Jessica Marquez, an artist who lives and works in Brooklyn. Originally from California, she grew up around creative and inspiring women who taught her the basics of crafting and the proper tools to use. She took this knowledge, her love for science and one of a kind ideas and created Miniature Rhino.

I personally love her work because it showcases true handmade craftsmanship with a modern twist on classic methods of art. Her pieces are whimsy, amazingly detailed and are created with so much love. Her palette varies but her colors are always cheerful and somewhat reminiscent of the good old days. Look to her work to find inspiration for  events such as vintage style parties, children’s birthdays and indie weddings that are unique and crafty as well as in the home for a cooler, natural feel.

Adrienne Vita is an artist from Portland who studied animation and design. Her organic illustrations really got my attention not only because they are unique but colorful as well. Look to her work for inspiration on designing cheerful events such as weddings, birthdays and celebrations. The combinations of color she uses go so well with each other which makes the piece even that more awesome.

Check out her shop on Etsy, Arcane Arts, to see more of her work!

Abby Berkson is a fine artist from Northampton, MA who has a BFA in ceramics. She has  taught ceramics to children as well as assisting Connie Talbot at High Hollow Pottery for a number of years before starting her own business. I love her pottery because its delicate, sincere and her color palette is dreamy. Look to her work for inspiration when planning a wedding or bridal shower as well as other various parties and events.
