Amanda Blake, Yuliya, and Becca Statlander
Yesterday, I let you in on the secret that is Flow Magazine. Today, I'm sharing just a few of the inspiring artists whose work I've come to love, all thanks to Flow. I actually discovered these three painters and illustrators through a blog post shared on the Flow Facebook page (like them so fast!). But enough chatter — let's enjoy these lovely works of art. Here are 3 lovely ladies to watch.
#1 Amanda Blake
Amanda Blake and her original oil paintings hail from Portland, Oregon. The focus of her paintings is usually girls and women in slightly-magical scenes, whether they're carrying ocean waves or cradling the night sky. I especially love how each of Amanda's works has a charming name, like the ones below (in order): "Everything Was As It Should Be," "The Stars Were Hers," "Her Bravery Knew No End," and "Lucy Counts the Stars."
Yuliya on Society6 doesn't offer much info about herself. There's no bio on her blog and the About section on her Facebook page simply says "I draw." She's right there — and I love her style of drawing. While I tend to more vibrant colors, I enjoy Yuliya's muted tones and how the subjects of her illustrations range from the everyday to the surreal.
#4 Becca Statlander
Oh Becca Statlander — you might be my favorite. To me, Becca's work is a perfect marriage of illustration style rendered in rich colors that really speak to me. Not unlike Yuliya, Becca depicts everyday scenes (who knew a breakfast table could be so captivating?) and more fantasy-driven subjects, like the twelve dancing princesses.
