Top 5 Inspiring artists-NEW

With the new Textiles Art G.C.S.E looming I have been doing a little artist research as it is always fun to search out new and inspiring artists to enhance the work we produce in class. Here are my top 5 at the moment. 

The first is 1. Alisa Burke...Alisa uses vibrant surface colour in blocks as a base to apply interesting floral pattern. Her blog is well worth taking a look at as she has free downlodes, creative ideas to make at home and a lot of visually inspiring work. 

Pen and Paint flowers.

Also if you have an Instagram follow Alisa as she had small videos of how she creates her artwork which are absolutely brilliant.

The next artist i adore is 4.Katie Daisy. Katie is an inspirational painter who uses nature and the land around her to inspire her stunning artwork. One of the things i love about textiles is how easily stunning artwork can be converted into fabric and stitch. Her detailed paintings include lettering and saying which i feel enhance her pieces.

Artist 5. Elizabeth Pawle. Elizabeth creates colourful, textured, textile pieces using a variety of fibers and stitching technique. Her geometrical approach would also make interesting art pieces.
