Hadley Hutton

I found Hadley Hutton's work via A Print a Day blog , and thought her stuff was really amazing. I love her blend of asian aesthetic (Japanese woodblock, floral motifs), nature (birds, plants) and especially her colors.  Her medium of encaustic, gouache, and colored pencil really make the pieces seem shrouded in wispy cotton candy as well.  The pieces are sweet but strong, and I found her stuff really inspiring.

Go check out her website and her Etsy store where she sells prints!
