11 INSTAGRAM ACCOUNTS WE’RE LOVING THIS FEBRUARY
Every month we round up our favourite Instagram posts that inspire us to create beautiful things. These are our top picks for February!
@daisyemerson
Awash in cool fonts, bright pink hues and funky signage, Daisy Emerson’s feed shows her talent for painting, illustration and hand lettering. She also offers opportunities for followers to win cool gifts that are featured on her page, so be sure to keep an eye out for contests.
@belindabathimages
Belinda Bath is an artist, photographer and stylist based in Hong Kong, and the images and montages on her feed conjure up a unique perspective of the city through architecture, street art, food and people. You can also peruse and purchase her limited edition prints, postcards and mosaics on her website.
@em_henderson
Emily Henderson is a stylist, NY Times Best Seller, TV personality and the founder of Style by Emily Henderson, a daily style blog. We love her Instagram stories, and the fact that each of her posts includes background info about the image and her connection to it.
@loladonoghue
There’s a real ethereal feel to Irish artist Lola Donoghue’s work, as she uses muted pastel colours and blurred lines to depict space and emotions. Her Instagram feed also features fun pictures of her fierce fashion sense, shots of her studio and the odd snap of her gorgeous daughter.
@marendevineart
It’s easy to see influences of Picasso, Van Gogh and John Singer Sargent in Maren Devine’s work. Her Instagram feed is alive with big bold portraits, still lifes and landscapes that all make use of strong brushstrokes and vivid colours.
@sweetpetalcake
Check out these amazing cakes from Sweet Petal Bakery in Bangkok, and we can bet you’ll be wanting to book a ticket to BKK just to sample some of those oh-so-pretty and tasty looking buttercream flowers and leaves.
@aliciabeech.art.nz
Scrolling through Alicia Beech’s feed brings up memories of summer with just a little 80s pop art thrown in for good measure. Think abstract artworks in hot pinks, turquoises and cobalt blue, plus a few New Zealand landscape shots thrown in every so often for good measure.
@jlcalligraphy
Scottish calligrapher Jenni Liandu does custom calligraphy for weddings as well as wall art and signage, and her Instagram feed is full of beautiful flowing script in a variety of eye-catching inks, as well as videos showing the process in action.
@teilart
How can you not adore the beachy vibe going on in Teil Duncan Henley’s super stylised figurative paintings?. Her use of soft hues, playfulness with light and feel-good scenes make us want to jump straight into her any one of her pieces.
@handmadesammade
We love this plant-inspired feed that features cool looking cactuses and air plants, as well as ceramic planters, plant hangers and plant-shaped pins and mobiles. We also love that artist Samantha has created a business out of her love for both botanicals and art.
@natashadurley
Natasha Durley is an illustrator and surface designer who draws on scenes from nature to create eye-popping images of insects, tropical birds, fish and much more. Her feed is jam-packed with cool paintings, illustrated stationery and patterned apparel.
