11 INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS WE’RE LOVING THIS MONTH
From femme fatale paintings to macrame necklaces, heirloom dolls and fab foodie pics, these Instagram accounts are at the top of our list this March.
@cindypressart
At first glance it looks like Cindy Press’ pieces are digitally manipulated photos of ultra-chic, ultra-feminine, and ultra-edgy women, but on further inspection they’re actually oil paintings and graphite drawings. This girl has some serious talent, so it’s no surprise she’s been listed as one of the top 100 American best sellers. Photo Reference: 30″ x 30″, oil on canvas, 2017

@grinpauka
Fashion illustrator Alina Grinpauka uses watercolours, acrylics and charcoal to produce intriguing figurative pieces that depict fashion in all forms from street styles to catwalk couture. We love the mix of stark black lines, clean white space and vivid splashes of colour from this Latvian-born luminary.

@wilderslow
Swiss artist Sonja Blaess-Eigelshoven creates rustic abstract backgrounds and overlays them with bright floral patterns that rise up off the canvas in thick daubs of paint. Her paintings have it all—eye-popping palettes, rich layers of texture, and elements of movement from the bright blossoms and dripping paint.

Handmade ceramics are just so covet-worthy, especially the ones in Carla Dinnage’s collection. Scroll through her feed and we can pretty much guarantee you’re going to want to snatch them all up, from the pastel-hued bowls with flower patterns to the bold blue plates with glittery gold accents.

What little girl (or big girl for that matter) wouldn’t love a handmade heirloom doll inspired by magic, nature and fairytales? Laurie is the maker behind Woodland Sister Dolls, and she infuses unique personalities into each doll using various textiles like patterned fabrics, soft wool, felt and even leather.

@carley_cornelissen
You can definitely see influences of Australia’s Sunshine Coast in Carley Cornelissen’s work, as many of her pieces feature cockatoos, koalas and palm trees. However she also throws in the occasional zebra, peacock or panda bear just for good measure, plus technicolour palettes and big bold patterns for some seriously stand-out pieces.
