Meet Sam Eldridge, a talented artist based out of Vancouver, BC. If it weren't for Instagram, I wouldn't have discovered this gem. She just recently (within the past 2 years) started seriously pursuing her art, so Ena and I are so thrilled to have come across her. Her work is complex and filled with dimension and texture that is just too hard not to keep glancing back at over and over again.
Her pieces are vibrant and exciting and are pulsing with liveliness and energy. In addition to her abstract art, you can see that she is talented in other areas as well. She picked up stitching not too long ago, and in that time, has developed an intricacy to her patterns that make them miniature works of art themselves. One of her recent pieces, which took 30+ hours *gasp* of stitching, was featured at a miniature art show at the Ghost Gallery in Seattle. You gotta see it here!
What do you think of her work so far? Could you see one of her pieces hanging on your walls? Share with us in the comments!
We asked Sam to create wallpaper designs for us and what she created is beyond words. Her Q & A was so interesting to read, too; I get a sense of her personality, and I'm loving her even more! She has an inspiring story to share, so enjoy the read and enjoy your free downloads at the end.
Q & A
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
My passion for art started when I was just over two years old. I had (my first) hip surgery and afterwards I was stuck in a big, awkward cast that held my legs open in a froggy position. My dad built me a special little table with a hole in the middle to accommodate my cast, gave me some art supplies, and the love affair began! Because of my two surgeries and my other physical impairments, I’ve never really felt in control of my body (although I can definitely walk and somewhat successfully run, so I have it pretty darn good!). Using my hands to make art makes me feel so much more competent and powerful in my body. I started seriously making art about two years ago, and I opened my Etsy to tentatively start selling things in October of this year. I’m excited for whatever comes next :)
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
I find my inspiration from other artists (I spend a whole lot of time poking around on Instagram and getting excited by all the beautiful work). I like looking at people who use really bold brush strokes and pile on the colour to get me thinking about my next painting. I’m also really inspired by thinking about and playing with colour combinations in my mind -- I had a long mustard yellow and teal phase recently, and right now I’m especially stoked on bright orange and lavender. If I’m looking to do an embroidery or a more realistic painting, I draw inspiration from leaves, plants, flowers, and natural shapes (like waves and crystal clusters). Sometimes it feels like just the act of NOT painting for a few days is inspiring itself, since my desire to create builds up until I just can’t resist reaching for my paintbrush.
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
I use watercolour, ink, acrylic, oil pastels, wool, and thread. I want to use every medium! All at once! The more mediums the merrier!
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
“Experiment with Everything”
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
I actually don’t listen to music on my own (I know...it’s terrible! I don’t even own a pair of headphones! I don’t have a favorite band!) so I usually hum along with whatever my partner puts on (hip hop, jazz, and blues, with a dash of Leonard Cohen). I tend to tune out whatever is happening around me if I’m really focused on a piece, a trait I inherited from my father - a man who will build furniture in the basement for ten hours straight without noticing the CD ended after the first hour.

We're featuring another artist this week - this time from Ontario, Canada! Holly's work is pulsing with energy and is very unique. The colors she uses are very vibrant and alive, but with a lot of pastel hues. I really enjoy how her brushstrokes contain different shapes and patterns that are really intriguing to look at. Each piece is so unique from the next, which makes me look forward to seeing what she comes up with next. Her work is far from predictable!
Ena really knows how to spot talent, and I am so glad that she introduced me to Holly's work. Every artist that I meet really inspires me to pick up my paint brush and experiment. Holly has dedicated herself to her passion after a career in interior decorating, and will soon have her works available for purchase on Burrow Home. I hope you get to check out her many other beautiful works. A few of her pieces are available at the end of this post as free wallpapers. We will also have a giveaway with Holly on Instagram in a few weeks. Holly will be giving away some hand painted ornaments, so make sure to follow us so you don't miss out on that. Now, let's get to know Holly!
Q & A
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
I loved drawing as a child & excelled in art classes throughout high school. At University I experimented in my art classes & discovered an interest in watercolour. My work was abstract & full of colour. After graduating with my BFA I attended college where I studied Interior Design. I have always loved interior spaces & thrifting vintage items. I have painted as a hobby for years, doing commissions for friends & family. It wasn’t until a few months ago that I decided I needed to make my passion my career, & just go for it.
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
The combination of colour, texture, & pattern. My lines & brushstrokes are a dynamic expression of my daily life. Graffiti, interiors, & architectural elements are images I look at when seeking inspiration.
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
Primarily acrylic, I will often add in latex or spray paint to layer my paintings & create texture. I am planning on a new series this year, that is photo based with epoxy resin. I’m excited to branch out into a new direction & see what it leads to.
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
Colourful, Abstract, Spontaneous
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
I always have music on, & I definitely have a playlist that gets me moving consisting of Florence & The Machine, Awolnation, & Cold War Kids. If I’m in a mellow mood you’ll probably hear Neil Young, Dawes, The Shins or Temper Trap. The titles of my works are often lyrics, or songs themselves that were playing in the background while I was creating.

This week, Ena and I are featuring London based artist, Harriet Hoult! Harriet reached out to me - and I'm so glad she did - because I needed her artwork in my life. What I love about her art is that it has so much depth to it. I could literally stare at her pieces for days and would appreciate her work and never get tired of it if it were displayed in my home. Her work is so colorful as well and contains so many textures, patterns, and details yet to be discovered.
In Harriet's About section on her website, she says,
"I tend not to plan. I have an image in my head as a starting point and I make some makes in the direction of that original idea. Then I feel my way to what the next set of marks will be. It's a moment-by-moment evolving process."
To me, that is so inspiring and it is a common thread that many artists share. I find that intriguing and inspiring. To create something so beautiful from a space of letting go is really amazing, and that's why I admire her work so much.
Her work also has so much emotion and energy pulsing through it, while others are very soft and calming. I also love how every piece she has evokes a different feeling.
Explore her work - you'll be so glad you did! She is sharing three beautiful wallpapers at the end of this post, so make sure you grab them, but first, let's get to know her a bit more.
Q & A
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
I always loved Art at school and I used to get very excited about the Art class each week. Then I would spend the whole time from the point of the class ending looking forward to the next one. It was the only time of the week when I felt truly alive and sort of purposeful. Then at 16 I gave up it completely - I was advised by my teachers that Art was not an academic subject and that it would be sensible career wise to take a more robust subject like History or Politics. From that point on, I didn't pick up a pencil or paintbrush for many years - until I signed up for an art workshop in Scotland about 7 years ago, and that was probably the beginning of this particular phase and the seed of the work I am now doing.
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
My inspiration comes from many places. I am and always have been very driven by aesthetic's - the things I perceive to be visually beautiful. So really, it is anything that I see that touches that 'beauty spot' within me - whether that's the way two colours interact on a street sign, an old tree stump in the park or a page in a magazine. I also love graphic design and I get very excited when I see what I consider to be a great design piece. The other thing I am very inspired by is people's stories - I often listen to podcasts like Radio 4's Desert Island Discs as I love hearing successful people talking about themselves, their motivations, and their lives.
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
I work mainly with acrylic (both tube and spray paint) and mixed media on paper. I love working on paper because to me it feels really sort of raw and real - I only use very thick textured archival paper. The mixed media could be anything from oil pastel to string or sand.
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
Abstract, colourful, expressive
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
I sometimes listen to music but recently I've been listening more to podcasts - as I mentioned earlier Desert Island Discs on Radio 4 is one of my favourites, also Raise Your Hand And Say Yes by Tiffany Han is another one I've tuned into a lot in the last few weeks.

Today, Ena and I are featuring Jocelyn Edin from Michigan - a brilliant watercolor artist, print and web designer, and one who dabbles in a multitude of other creative pursuits such as painting, drawing, lettering, letterpress, sculpture, and photography. I've noticed an interesting common thread among artists that we've featured so far. Like Sophia - Mini Grandi Artist, and I, Jocelyn is a designer, and has also decided to pursue an independent career for herself. It's encouraging to see that other creatives are taking the big leap to pursue their passion. The amazing thing is that it doesn't look like they just merely entered the scene, rather they are seasoned pros, with talent beyond their years.
The thing I really appreciate about Jocelyn's work is that it is very spontaneous and organic. I love when I look at a piece of art and see the emotion in it. I really feel that the best art is created from just being in the moment and letting loose. Too much control will actually work against art than for it, but I do believe that you do need a certain amount of restraint too, so I guess that's a form of control. Either way, Jocelyn really achieves it all in her work and it is very easy to gaze in awe and get lost in the details of her watercolors.
I really look forward to seeing more of Jocelyn's work because I really admire her style and use of colors. If you're loving her work so far, stay around until the end of the post to see the beautiful wallpaper designs that she created for you guys for free download. They are absolutely lovely. Now let's get to know her a bit more with our Q&A!
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
I have always loved making things. I was so lucky to come from a family of artists, including my dad who was my high school art teacher. I studied graphic design in college and spent the last 15 years in the agency world as an art director for a small studio in southeast Michigan. This past summer I decided to follow my own path and focus on making art full-time.
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
I find beauty in the everyday, in the simple things. I love the outdoors, sunshine, Mother Nature. I’m also inspired by color itself, shapes, compositions, textures, the spontaneity of paint on paper.
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
Mainly watercolor, and of course my digital tools.
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
Graphic, Organic, Optimistic
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
I’m always listening to music! I love live music and am on the board at The Ark, a music venue in downtown Ann Arbor, Michigan. My tastes are eclectic and cover a huge range. I love music that makes me want to dance but I also love beautiful songwriting and authentic delivery. Some of my favorites are Patty Griffin, Vienna Teng, Johnnyswim, JT, MJ, Pharrell.
6. DESCRIBE YOUR MOST TREASURED ART PIECE TO DATE - ONE THAT YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF.
One of my favorite pieces from the last year was an illustrated poster for a Jeff Daniels show at The Ark. I have a signed copy framed in my home. It was a piece that pushed me in exciting ways.
7. NAME ONE ARTIST YOU ADMIRE.
I immediately think of the artists in my family, my dad, my brother, my aunt, my great grandmother, all so inspirational in their own way. But if I had to pick a current artist crush, it would be Helen Dealtry. The aesthetic of her watercolor work and textile design is so yummy!
8. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO EMERGING ARTISTS?
I love this video with Ira Glass talking about The Gap. Exactly. Do a lot of work. And make yourself uncomfortable. That’s when you’ll grow.
9. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?
Creating larger series of work. Showing in galleries. Collaborating with creative friends around the world. Dedicating time towards a cause.
10. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
At a plein air watercolor workshop in Scotland.

This week's featured artist is Katelyn Morse from Nova Scotia, Canada. Her pieces struck a chord with me, so I invited her to be featured this week. Her work is so ethereal and calming to look at, and I just adore her feather illustrations and mountain landscapes. I can only imagine how stunning it would be to view sites that majestic in person one day.
Nature is so inspiring and, I feel, can bring out the best in us an an authenticity that nothing else could. Getting one-on-one with nature and being observant to it brings a peace that can't be described.
I love how Katelyn created these minimalist paintings with wood. If you're loving her work so far, she's created four beautiful wallpapers for you guys to enjoy towards the end of this post. First, let's see what she had to say for our Q&A.
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
I have always loved to draw since I was very young - almost every day I would draw animals, people, flowers etc. It was not until one year ago that I started pursuing it as a career option. So happy I did!
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
I find inspiration in nature. The prettiest foliage and the intricate flowers always catch my eye. Animals as well!
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
I use mostly acrylic paint, and watercolor paint. Looking into trying out oil!
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
Boho, Earthy, and Girly.
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
If I'm listening to music it's either Jack Johnson or a playlist of forest sounds!
6. DESCRIBE YOUR MOST TREASURED ART PIECE TO DATE - ONE THAT YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF.
I painted a large circular piece of wood and filled it with evergreen trees and a body of water with the trees reflection in it, with a little fawn hiding in the trees. I absolutely love that piece and it will hang in my living room for years to come!
7. NAME ONE ARTIST YOU ADMIRE.
Emily Jeffords. I feel a sense of calmness and peace when I look at her paintings.
8. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO EMERGING ARTISTS?
Don't stop creating. Do do do. Don't give up, be kind to all and love the process. Find what you're good at and hone it - get your art out there in as many places that you can and be bold!
9. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?
In 5 years I hope to have my own studio and be shipping my paintings all over the world! I will be 29 in 5 years - so I also hope that my husband and I will own our house by the lake and start raising a fam.
10. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
Banff. I'll be there in a week. I just want to be there right now! On top of a mountain looking down at the amazing world at which we live in!

This week, we're excited to feature a new artist from the beautiful Wanaka, New Zealand! Sophie has a very inspiring story - one that I connect with in my personal journey. A graphic artist by trade for 12 years, Sophie decided that it was time to return to her first love - painting and become a full time artist after being inspired by her surrounding Wanaka.
As you may imagine, her artwork is also inspired by the surrounding mountains, forests, lakes, and beaches of Wanaka. Perhaps one of the interesting things to me about Sophie is the inspiration behind her name - Mini Grandi Artist, which means little grown up artist.
Picasso said ‘Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain one when we grow up.’ Co-incidentally this was on the back on my graphic design business card for years and when I clicked that my name had always been with me, it was like the whole world got a little bit brighter.' - Sophie
You can read more in her Lookbook, where she shares about her journey toward becoming wholly creative again and how slow living has been her pathway to becoming truly inspired, living in the moment, and feeling complete.
Ena and I really connected with her story, but even more, her artwork! I love the simplicity, yet complexity of her work and how each piece conveys a landscape in itself. It's interesting how her art career is just starting to unfold, yet there is so much depth in her work. It just goes to show: once an artist, always an artist. No matter what path we take in life, we will always be led back to our "first love" - our passion and what sets us free inside.
We asked Sophie to answer a few questions for us - take a read and be inspired! Stay around 'til the end to download her beautiful wallpapers.
1. DID YOU ALWAYS HAVE A PASSION FOR ART AND WHEN DID YOU START PURSUING IT?
Oh most definitely, I lived in the art room at school then went onto study a degree in Fine Arts specialising in Painting from Elam School of Fine Arts in Auckland, New Zealand but after years of travelling and chasing snow, meeting my husband and then finally settling in Wanaka I became a graphic designer instead of returning to art. But last year I found a totally new lifestyle and embarked on a new pathway after endless winter sickness, being riddled with self doubt and just being miserable. Now I'm the happiest, calmest and most creative I have ever been thanks to being introduced to meditation and finding balance in my life through the mind/body connection, yoga and whole foods. I feel that the art I create now is an extension of the freedom I have found in letting go of my life to gain control over it. My secret to my return to creativity lies with meditation and it's ability to ground me and it's only me that can do that. The power you have inside from the stillness within fascinates me.
It has been one of my consistently renewed goals for years to become a full time artist once both my children were at school but I'd never put any steps in place to achieve it as self doubt stopped me from ever committing to painting again. I’ve met that goal 2 years ahead of schedule and am so grateful that my lifestyle changed in order to let me become an artist. Everything happens for a reason I believe and I obviously wasn't meant to make the art I do today until now.
2. WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
My artwork and textures are inspired by the mountains, forests, lakes and beaches surrounding Wanaka. I often find my best works are creations of impulse and experimenting in my studio. I try to see the beauty in everything and seek to interpret this with creating landscapes of tranquility, familiarity and simplicity.
3. WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU USE?
I am currently working with black watercolour on paper but am planning some large scale works on canvas for a solo show early next year. I am somewhat an unconventional watercolorist - I often drench my paper in water leaving it in pools and swirls of colour to absorb and dry. I also like to use a mixture of brushes, not necessarily watercolour brushes - just whatever I have and sometimes my best brush is my old shedding pastry brush that obviously was no good for pastry but works great as my clean water brush for the initial paper soak. My favourite brush is a long piece of dried grass collected from the fields close to my home and where I go running with my dog most mornings. The other favourite is a dried wildflower weed that grows abundantly in the same fields. I love the varied appearance these tools give and that I have very limited control over the end result - this excites me like nothing else! I also love to not look at the paper when creating abstract loose shapes, if I look while I have a brush in hand I ruin it!
4. IN THREE WORDS, HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE OF ART?
Abstract. Still. Linear.
5. DO YOU LISTEN TO MUSIC WHILE CREATING ART? IF SO, WHAT’S ON YOUR PLAYLIST?
As much as I love quiet and the stillness within I need loud music to create and absorb myself in my work - Broods and the XX never fail to disappoint. In contrast to this I always meditate before starting painting!
6. DESCRIBE YOUR MOST TREASURED ART PIECE TO DATE - ONE THAT YOU ARE MOST PROUD OF.
Um, I just sold it last week! Gasp! It is called 'Another Storm at the Beach' - an original watercolour work on paper. (it is also my most popular selling print on my website). I initially didn't want to sell it but it was to a friend returning to Germany and I could tell he just loved it. I felt if he loved it as much as I did that it would be best in his home, I could always have other favourites.
7. NAME ONE ARTIST YOU ADMIRE.
This year I discovered the beautiful work of Agneta Ekholm a Finish artist living in Melbourne http://www.agnetaekholm.com She creates ethereal abstract flowing works with multiple layers of apparent simplicity but really the technique she uses is anything but. I recently connected with her to tell her I had been in to admire her works several times at a local Wanaka gallery - Gallery33 and she encouraged me to keep producing art that was just mine and to develop my craft by simply working away at it.
8. WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO EMERGING ARTISTS?
It seems odd to be giving advice so early into my career but I guess the biggest fundamental thing I have learnt this year is to produce work that is uniquely me. I feel like I discovered my current style by chance and can only hope my transition to my next style comes to me when I least expect it too. Figuring out what works for your style takes time but the only way you can find it is by continuing to keep challenging and pushing your art. Oh and don't spend too much time on social media! I feel like I should have a degree in Instagram I've spent so much time on there!
9. WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS?
In the middle of completing a Masters in Fine Art and maybe with a third child in tow……., hah!
10. IF YOU COULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW, WHERE WOULD YOU WANT TO BE?
I am so incredibly happy in my home with my little family and husband right now, I love living in Wanaka and am grateful everyday to be able to live here. I am such a home body but while I do still have aspirations for travel, I think realistically that will happen once my children are grown up. (They're 5 and 3.5). My husband also travels overseas a lot for work so he loves nothing more than to come home and while I used to be, 'right, lets go away!' I have come to realise home is best for him AND me right now……
