I recently started following artist Michelle Morin on instagram. Her work is lush and detailed featuring tropical plants, landscapes and other textured nature-inspired patterns. Her work is multi-layered and busy but somehow still subdued. I really love it. She began her work as an artist while working as a private gardener in Cape Cod. Inspired by the plants around her she began sketching and painting during work breaks in the garden. Since then she has been painting and creating surface pattern designs for over 16 years. You can purchase her work on etsy, follow her on instagram or check out her website for more information.
