Featured Artist: Carol Farrell
It is artists like Carol Farrell that help to remind us all to treasure the small, preciously beautiful moments in life. This Dublin-based illustrator and designer has turned her rose-coloured outlook on the world into a series of stunning artistic creations, featuring an array of unique prints and greeting cards. Now shipping internationally through her online Etsy store, Carol's work is both timeless and classic yet incredibly contemporary in its design.
These illustrations utilise pens, pastels, ink and watercolour to produce prints that will truly warm your heart. The diversity in Carol's portfolio is also extremely impressive, ranging from whimsical woodland creatures to incredible lifelike portraits. With references to folklore common across most of Carol's designs, these prints are youthful, unusual and simply stunning.
In her own words, Carol states "In my art I love to escape to a world of make believe with the majority of my illustrations based on the beauty of nature, animals and folklore." This playful approach to design makes these illustrations so dreamy and awe-inspiring, reminding us of the childlike naivety contained in long forgotten storybooks and nursery rhymes.
For your own slice of nostalgic innocence and youthful charm, head to Carol's Etsy store and pop by her Facebook page to keep up-to-date with her latest wonderful creations. These prints are guaranteed to give you something to smile about!
