I’m on an original art kick lately and I got into some trouble on Etsy this morning shopping for watercolors for a future art display. “Trouble” meaning several purchases, I can’t help it, there are so many talented artists out there! Watercolors are so popular right now with the Waterlogue app everyone’s been using lately turning photographs into watercolor prints. I thought I’d feature a few favorite painters I stumbled across today who specialize in the medium.
Kerri Shipp paints everything from botanicals to abstracts to chinoiserie at Driftwood Interiors (I bought a series of the 11 x 14” indigo tropical leaves, gorgeous!)
I adore the zoo of sweetly painted animals you can find at Mary’s Flower Garden. I had to have that blue crab!
Color Zen has a great kitchen food collection, also feathers and some beautiful sea life too.
Amber Alexander shares charming Beatrix Potter inspired stories on the back of her animal prints like Tilly in the Teacup, “From the second she started out that fateful day, Tilly had a feeling that she had bitten off more than she could chew…” The details are delightful, and that squirrel has serious style.
Discover unique nature inspired patterned feathers and animals at River Luna.
I love the colors inside these silhouette prints at Elf Shoppe, very fun!
I had such difficulty narrowing down my choices at Yao Cheng Design, her abstracts and botanicals are simply lovely and so inspiring – such beautiful use of color.

Oh geez I was doing this the other day too! Just spending copious amounts of time trawling etsy, drooling over the watercolours.. Absolutely stunning to many to choose from! I particularly love the animal silhouettes. Good to know I’m not alone! Lucy x
Thank you for info on others I had not yet seen. Kerri Shipp I already knew about, she does gorgeous work and is in my hometown, Brisbane Australia.
I bought this Llama print for my granddaughter last year: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/70167599/llama-artist-signed-watercolor-print?ref=shop_home_active_11
it is from https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/CanyonWrensNest.
Teri Kman is an animal artist and wildlife biologist and she says “Thanks for your support. Your purchase allows me to donate art (for silent auctions and fundraisers) and cash to worthy animal welfare and conservation causes.
Beautiful art.

My favorite medium Ever , great that you promote original art work
I really love the artists you picked they are in my Etsy faves too
I am smiling, because I’ve made a purchase from Yao Cheng but these are new beautiful!! Also, I have been eyeing Driftwood and have those butterfly prints saved to buy in the very near future. You know what they say about great minds :)
These are all stunning! Thanks for the share. I love Etsy so much!!
Beautiful! I’m trying to find the perfect place for this watercolor https://www.etsy.com/listing/180688473/watercolor-print-of-american-bison?ref=shop_home_feat_1 Isn’t it stunning?!
Ooh, I love seeing all of these beautiful works. Erin Makai is my new favorite- I have gorgeous prints in both of my kids rooms. https://www.etsy.com/shop/MakaiErin
I am an “original” art fanatic- and etsy is such a great place to find affordable original art! I’m loving the artists that you profiled today!
Color Zen’s stuff is my cup of tea. The style has a kind of relaxing effect.
Yao Chen’s work is fantastic. I am going to order two for my bedroom. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love the blue octopus. I think that’s my favorite!
Browsing these artists’ work on Etsy was a delight, and I’ve added two Amber Alexander prints to my small but growing collection of original art. Thanks as always, Kate, for sharing your resources.
It’s so common to get caught up in designing your room to look just like a magazine, Etsy makes it possible for each room to have it’s own custom look, especially with water colors like these. Thanks for the post!
What a great feature! I love the watercolor trend and Etsy is such an amazing resource for beautiful original art.
Really nice choices! Thank you.
Thank you so much for including my painting in your article. Most of the artists you mentioned were also my favorite!
I love Driftwood Interiors and have used her prints for a few clients. And I just purchased 2 prints from River Luna for a nursery – they are soooo cute and I had such a hard time narrowing it down to just 2!!!!!!!
Some beautiful watercolour pieces here – love the different styles and colours. Thanks for sharing!! :)
The art looks wonderful!! I can never get enough of your beautiful family room!
I love this post… All of these artists are so super inspiring! My absolute FAV is River Luna! I have been on etsy forever and her shops at the top of my list! I love your blog too of course!
