when gabrielle rose’s pen and watercolor meet paper, magic is created. a fairy tale land where dresses come alive and secret gardens thrive. i think you’ll enjoy browsing her shop, draw gabby draw, and let your imagination fly.

this beautiful work comes from kate macandrew, a mixed media artist from england who is obviously, inspired naturally! i love how she combines her passion for nature with her ability to take beautiful photographs, paint and draw- and she shows all three in each of her art prints.  each print has so much character and depth, and seamlessly takes your right in to nature.

make sure to also check out her beautiful blog (hint: designed by the darling tree, who is also designing the new theme for ghtr!)

since my recent travels to boston, i thought it only fitting to share with you one of my favorite artists who lives there, jhill design!

i’ve been rather captivated by her amazing design work, and wanted to make sure i gave you the chance to do the same!  jennifer hill’s latest collection is called ‘places i have never been’ where she draws the places she dreams of going.  each pattern is influenced by the natural settings of the place and she includes information such as the city, language and how many miles it would take her to get there.  i’ve been waiting for her to illustrate north carolina (i guess she’s been here!) but lucky for me, she hopes to expand the series by eventually including pieces that chronicle places that she’s already visited as well.

her blog is full of inspiration as well, and i especially love her latest post where she features this picture of boston’s public transportation system by netta kies.  the trains, buses, subways and shuttle are all too fresh in my mind!
