This week, I'm featuring the lovely paintings of <a href="http://www.vanessabowman.co.uk/" target="_blank">Vanessa Bowman</a>. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Vanessa is a contemporary artist working in oils and often taking still lives as her subject matter. She graduated from Winchester School of Art with a first class honours degree in Printed Textiles in 1993 and has won many awards for her work, including the Daler Rowney Young Artist of the Year.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">She has a wonderful gift for capturing pattern, texture and colour in her paintings which celebrate the 'simple beauty of everyday objects'.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and see you for more inspiration in 2014! <a href="http://www.surfacepatterndesigner.co.uk/" target="_blank">Justine</a> x</span></span><br />

I was lucky enough to get to visit Boston & Baltimore, hang out with the team at the <a href="http://lillarogers.com/" target="_blank">Lilla Rogers Studio</a> & teach some workshops & deliver a public lecture at </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">MICA (</span><a href="http://www.mica.edu/" style="background-color: white; cursor: pointer; line-height: 20px; outline: none; text-align: center; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Maryland Institute College Of Art</a>)<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;">It was such an honour to be invited</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px; text-align: center;"> & to teach at such a wonderful college with talented tutors such as Eric.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eric's design career began in architecture - he spent five years working in that field in Baltimore, Maryland, & passed his registration exams in 2007. However, at the same time, he was overtaken both by wanderlust & by a growing realisation that he was happiest with the part of his work that involved pencil & paintbrush. Eric & his wife took a leap across the Atlantic, and then enrolled in the postgraduate illustration course at University College Falmouth, in Cornwall, England. Since 2009, Eric has been back in Baltimore, where he has now nearly filled his basement with obsolete letterpress printing equipment. Eric produces & markets his own illustrated greeting cards, calendars, books, prints & paper goods, much of which is printed & bound by hand, by me. For the 2013 - 14 academic year, he is also teaching part time on the Illustration Practice MFA course at the Maryland Institute College of Art.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You can visit Eric's lovely <a href="http://www.lelandmanufactory.com/" target="_blank">website</a> & his <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/LelandManufactory" target="_blank">Etsy</a> shop to buy his gorgeous illustrations.</span><br />

<b>Margaret Applin</b> is an artist/designer living in Lowell, Massachusetts. Born & raised in New England, Margaret's art is full of inspiration taken from the natural landscape & the changing seasons. Margaret explores various techniques such as stamp & stencil making, drawing, mono printing, screen printing, or straight digital design to develop the building blocks that define her artwork. Margaret's style is characterised by simple images that are transformed into quirky, casually elegant, fresh & modern design expressions.

This week, I'm featuring the whimsical art of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifermercedeart" target="_blank">J</a></span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/jennifermercedeart" target="_blank">ennifer Mercede</a><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">Jennifer is a Portland based artist </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px;">with a BA in painting. She loves to doodle and this free flowing, spontaneous style is evident in her work which is inspired by abstract expressionism, graffiti and naive art.</span><br />
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="line-height: 18px;">Jennifer works in acrylic, watercolour pencils and pen and aims to uplift the viewer with her art which often includes written messages. She licenses her work and also has some available in her <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/jennifermercede" target="_blank">Etsy store</a>. More inspiration next Tuesday, <a href="http://www.justinealderseywilliams.com/" target="_blank">Justine</a> x</span><br />

This week, I'm featuring the creative genius of the design team, <a href="http://inaluxe.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Inaluxe</a>.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Inaluxe is a collaboration between two Australian designers, </span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Kristina Sostarko and Jason Odd. Their studio is based in the Grampians, Victoria where they are inspired by the natural flora and fauna around them. </span></span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">As </span></span><span style="line-height: 17px;">children</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 17px;"> of the 70s they have a retro feel to their work which successfully manages to blur the lines between surface pattern design, illustration and art. Their consistently eye catching colour palettes, use of texture and clever composition make their work instantly recognisable. Definitely going on my wish list! More eye candy next Tuesday, <a href="http://www.justinealderseywilliams.com/" target="_blank">Justine</a> x</span></span></span><br />

After visiting the New England <a href="http://rachaeltaylordesigns.blogspot.co.uk/2013/11/usa-work-trip-boston-aquarium.html" target="_blank">Aquarium</a>, I walked along the waterfront & stumbled across some truly amazing colours & textures at the boating marina. I must have spent at least an hour documenting all the imperfections & beauty.<br />

Enjoy! Love Rachael x<br />
