“Aquila” Watercolor on canvas. 14 by 18 inches.

Raquel Echanique was born in Guayaquil, Ecuador and currently lives in New York. Her work has been on display in galleries worldwide. Echanique has said of her work, " My portraits are stirred up by swirls that pull, twine, divide and modify anatomy in different directions, resulting in a sight of hypnotic relaxation." The detail and carful use of color and patterns is beautiful. Her entrancing murals can been found on the streets of New York. To see more of her work visit her Tumblr page.

Ikat Studies, 2013 

After surfing the web this weekend I came across the work of Erin Morrison. She was born in Arkansas and got her masters at UCLA. Morrison's work varies from sculptural pieces, relief paintings and stencil drawings. I personally love the her ikat study from 2013. They are a series of etchings created under the guidance of master painter, Jacob Samuel. Morrison got her MFA at UCLA and BFA from Memphis College of Art.
