Susana Parada is a happy-go-lucky kind of artist from Bridgeport, Connecticut with a vast array of original prints available for purchase in her Etsy shop. She injects a wonderful sense of humor into her fun illustrations and always has a great use of color. I wouldn’t mind putting 1 or 2 (or even 3) of her prints on my walls!

Yellena James is an artist from the capitol city of Bosnia & Herzegovina who moved to the U.S. to attend art school and who now calls Portland, Oregon her home. Her lively and colorful artwork has been commissioned by Anthropologie, Nike, and Microsoft to name a few and she has also participated in exhibitions throughout the U.S. since 2007. Bold geometric shapes are mixed with soft-hued organic shapes that dance inside their frames – I love how active and full of energy each of her pieces seem to be!
Belen Segarra is a wonderful illustrator with a whimsical approach to art who lives in Valencia, Spain. Her work draws on trendy subject matter but in a way that’s really quite beautiful and fresh. I appreciate her simple shapes and patterns and the charming little intricacies of her made-up characters.
Isabelle Arsenault is a French Canadian illustrator living in Montreal whose work is so dreamy and fun. She has been creating artwork for magazines and children’s books since the early 2000′s and continues to make things that capture the hearts of kids and adults alike.
Kevin Poveda is an illustrator, graphic designer, and photographer in Puerto Rico who is currently creating some pretty interesting work under the pseudonym The One Bird Flock (TOBF). These unique portraits of mysterious and almost ghostly women are made up almost entirely of dark shadows, textural specks, and nearly all pastel colors.
