Studio - artist research

i wanted to find artists who looked primarily at flowers and from a close proximity. a simple search helped me find these artists:

Alyson Sheldrake

• self taught artist,
• focuses on the centre of the flower - the most detailed and interesting part,
• i really like how she's not delicate with her brushstrokes but are still controlled.  

Teresa Dye

• very similar to the previous artist but has more realistic work.

Laura Iosifescu

• i was really drawn to the bright colours in her work,
• noticed the sharp lines and shapes hidden in the work and instantly connected with it,
• i find myself looking more at whats in the background of the picture instead of the forefront. 

Azuma Makoto

• completely in love with his work,
• fascinated by the way he exhibits his work and how he represents flowers and nature.
