I love discovering new artists on Instagram, a treasure trove for contemporary art enthusiasts. My current fascination? Botanical art. It's remarkable how these artists, from various corners of the globe, capture the essence of flora in their work. Their talent not only brightens my feed but also inspires my space. Among my favorites are three artists who stand out for their unique approach to botanical themes, each bringing a fresh perspective to the table. If you're someone who appreciates the intersection of nature and artistry, exploring these creators is a must. And for those who manage their art collections or followings through their devices, utilizing a mac app designed for art enthusiasts can enhance this experience, making discovery and organization seamless.
1. GEORGIE STCLAIR : FASHION INSPIRED FLORAL ART
Georgie is an artist living in Brighton, UK. She combines her love for fashion and florals to create unique illustrations. Scrolling through her Instagram feed makes my eyes pop. To me, there is nothing that makes a girl happier than combining flowers with fashion! Here is a glimpse of what she creates.

You can also peek into the creative mind behind the work on Georgie's blog Painting Grace.
Once in a while Georgie also creates free templates for us readers to download and create our own fashion floral art. Surely I couldn't resist.
She also sells her art through her Etsy store where you can either download the illustrations, or buy her illustrated photographs, and yes they ship worldwide!
2. SARAH BENNING : CONTEMPORARY EMBROIDERY
Sarah is an American fiber artist living in Spain. Many of you are already familiar with her work on Instagram. She creates contemporary embroidery of potted plants inspired by her own collection. Take a look at her work here.

You can shop directly from her website, which ships worldwide.
This March, by popular demand, Sarah kicked off a Monthly Pattern Program where you can subscribe to one pattern a month via her Etsy store. Through this program, you can download and make your own embroidered scene using one of her templates!
3. JENNY KIKER : LIVING PATTERN
I have written about Jenny Kiker here. Jenny is a Florida based artist who draws inspiration from nature (literally) and creates her own botanical water color paintings.

I absolutely love her work , which you can buy on her website LivingPattern. Occasionally on Instagram, she shares some behind-the -scenes action that goes into creating each piece. A few months ago Design Sponge collaborated with Jenny, to create 5 downloadable e-patterns for mobile devices. I am sporting two right now!
I'm currently obsessed with the work of these artists. Their work is so unique and each of them so original, I can never get enough! Don't you agree?
