My first feature illustrator is the Australian based Caitlin Shearer. Love everything about her pieces especially her subject matters...witches, mermaids, chic 40's & 50's inspired women, Art deco inspired interiors, fashion etc...She has such a great range of pieces. From romance with a touch of sorrow to a woman going to a beach on a sunny day. I appreciate the range of emotions she depicts in her pieces. I am particular attracted to the ones with a feeling of yearning and lost. Plus there are such a great amount of little details scattered throughout the illustrations. It takes several looks before you can catch them all.
I have to admit, I just made my first print purchase on Etsy for her piece, Sea Witch (bottom right)! It had everything I love...an ocean scene, a sea witch, and a dark feminine edge. Also the way she did the cigarette smoke was one of the final hooks for me.
