Here are some artists who's work I find very appealing and inspiring. I love their styl of work and looking at their work inspires me to improve and continue on my path of creativity. There work, whether it be mediumwise or stylewise, influences me creatively.
1. Kaitlin Wadley

I love the mixture of mediums that Kaitlin Wadley’s uses for her work (it looks like watercolor, pencil, and colored pencil. This creates a lot of contrast and vibrant colors which appeal to my eye.
2. Felipe Aguirre

Felipe Aguirre’s work is amazing. His usage of light and dark contrast is what creates depth to his artwork. I am a huge fan of contrast and this guy knows what he is doing. His paintings are so good!
3. Courtney Billadeau

I like how Courtney Billadeau doesn’t use black lines to outline what she is painting…. She uses solid colors of the objects without outlining them. I really love her completed paintings that consist of no white at all. The no white, and no black outlines draws my attention. She is also VERY good with her human figures.
4. David Bowman

There is something about simplicity in photography that captures my attention. I love how David Bowman uses seclution and simplicity as his main element in his photography. When I look at his photography… I can imagine myself in his pictures, staring out into the vastness. It takes me out of this world- I like that.
5. John Derian

I am very attracted to vintage and antiques, and that is John Derian’s work in a nutshell! AND, you can find some of his work on plates, cups, and serving plates at Target. How awesome is that! My favorite is the coffee cup with butterflies on it.
6. Jeff Thomas

Jeff Thomas’s work of Pon and Zi has a dark ironic look and humor to it. The characters that he created are simple yet very appealing to my sense. I have enjoyed his work for the past couple years. I also love the style and medium that he uses with the blending and shading. When I see his work, it makes me want to create little characters of my own.
7. Cami

I am not sure what the word that I am looking for is… but I love how Cami’s work consists of beings with different colored skin, things coming out of their mouths, stomach’s hanging out, and idiotic looks. It’s dumb, but entertaining and fun to me.
8. Renee French
http://reneefrench.blogspot.com/
Renee Frenches pencil sketches are simple medium-wise yet detailed skill-wise. It’s something that I look at and find myself getting the urge to just sit down and do up a pencil sketch of my own. You can almost always find a piece of paper and a pencil anywhere! I like that.
9. Nitah
http://www.nitah.deviantart.com/
Nitah’s dark watercolor is very appealing. I like her style too.
10. Scott West

Scott West is WAY talented! First time I saw his work was during a Cloud Cult show. How he uses acrylic, with the shadowing, color, and skill…. Just look at it and you will want to create art.
11. Olga Konoschuk
http://www.artolga.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi
Usually I am not a big fan of expressionist paintings, but I find Olga’s usage of bright vibrant colors very appealing. Her paintings also take on a very textured look as she uses thick amounts of paint. It’s very appealing.
12. Belinda Eaton
http://www.belindaeaton.com/
Ok, so there are artists who have skill, and artists who have talent. Belinda has MAJOR talent. Her work amazes me! It inspires me to want to continue in my creativity to get better.
13. Josh Heilaman
http://www.friskeemedia.com/joshheilaman/
Josh Heilaman has an amazing style of work. It’s sort of sketchy, vintagy but is original and colorful. The colors and style run very well together.
14. Salvador Dali
http://www.dali-gallery.com/
Salvador Dali… classic! What did this guy dream and think of? His work is so bizarre, intriguing, interesting, and amazing. I am a bit jealous with how talented this guy was.
15. Aaron Crawford

Aaron Crawford’s bold lines and sketchy work influences me to sketch up some artwork with a pen and some watercolor. His work is sweet!
About Me
- Sarah E. Walsh
- The name is Sarah E. Walsh, I use my work of art as a way to express God's blessings to this world. And God has been my biggest inspiration. Life has brought many things, and throughout all that I have been through I have realized one thing; art has always been my passion and God has never failed to amaze and guide me. I hope that when others see my art their minds are open to see the beauty of this world. One of my favorite things in life it to experience a calm inspiring setting, where I can feel peace, serenity, joy, and happiness. Whether I am driving in my car, with the wind in my hair, or walking along a calm lake where you can hear the stillness of life, I use my camera to capture those pictorial settings. These experiences often spark an inspiration to create art. My interest with different mediums and art styles is constantly expanding. If we slow down, stop, and thoroughly examine all the natural beauty that is around us, we can experience a little more spice to life, hence my blog titled 'Salt to the Earth'.
