Amy Shackleton

Amy Shackleton has a unique style of painting. SHE DOESN'T USE A BRUSH. Her work is purely strategically placed paint squeezed straight from the tube. I think the end products are incredible for the process of application she uses.

Miriam Schapiro

Her work is a bit girly for my taste, but still beautiful.  Everything she does is extremely feminine and intricate.  I love all of the color she uses and will try and incorporate bold patterns like these in my piece as well.

Tracey Emin

I don't necessarily like or agree with her subject matter, but i really love her patchwork and lettering.

Denise Burge

Lately I have been searching for artists who work with fabric for inspiration for senior show. Hollis showed me these next few artists. :)

Malayka Gormally

In my life drawing class we have been practicing drawing by using modified blind contour. I absolutely love the results of this technique and have been drawn to it lately. Malayka has some beautiful paintings where she uses modified blind contour very successfully. 

Colwyn Thomas

Colwyn Thomas is currently stationed in South Africa and does some amazing prints and commercial illustrations.  I love his use of distinct contours juxtaposed with washes of water color.

Lucy Kirkman

Lucy Kirkman combines classical art history with pop culture in her work.  I love her use of color and combination of digital photographs and paint.
