Here are five artists who make me smile and inspire me in different ways.
Tommy Kane’s attention to detail in his line drawings and commitment to his art (including sitting outside on a tiny seat for hours) always impresses me. I also love his very frank descriptions of his own work and his surroundings whilst he draws.
Vivienne Strauss-Stephens works in watercolours, oils and collage. I enjoy the way she injects humour, fashion and and social observations into her pieces.

Despite Bill's best arguments, Pamela was never going to concede that "less was more". |
Naomi Shiek uses knife and paper to create the the most beautiful woodland themed papercuts. I love her details, theme and composition and am the proud owner of some of her work!
