Based in Germany, Christoph Schlein was one of the IG lucky photographers that found himself featured on the actual Instagram account, and one of his photos caught my eye while scrolling through my feed the other day… and I was mesmerized. All of his work is really incredibly beautiful, but my eye is drawn to …
Instagram Artist to Follow // Nikelle Løvaas
Instagram, like Pinterest, is such an amazing place to find artists, photographers, and just general beauty and inspiration, curated from the viewpoint of so many brilliant creative minds, it’s the main reason I use the app now.

Artist Spotlight // Ann Langlois Moody Pretty Paintings
At first glance, abstract artist Ann Langlois’s moody and textural paintings reminded me of Mark Rothko’s classically monumental and emotional works. But upon further inspection, I couldn’t help seeing a bit more of a Helen Frankenthaler vibe, with the pretty and feminine brushstrokes and overlapping colors. In any case, and whatever her influence, Ann’s paintings …

I found Nicolaus Ferry on Instagram, where I find so many wonderful artists these days, and was immediately struck by the beauty of his work.

Fashion + Art // Marc Quinn’s “Eye on Fashion”
In the September issue of Harper’s BAZAAR, artist Marc Quinn photographed the eyes of fashion industry leaders: Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney and Sarah Burton… and I just thought the closeups were stunning. “The eyes are the only internal organ you can see from the outside,” says artist Marc Quinn. “The iris is our doorway to …
