I’ve been having so much fun with the Art to Inspiration project! The first month I participated, the inspiration work was by Pakayla Biehn, an artist whose work I’d already fallen in love with when I featured her on Artsy Forager a while back. The next month gave me an opportunity to fall head over heads for Jo Howe’s organically inspired work. So I was thrilled when my suggested artist, Jill Ricci was chosen as the inspiration for June!
Jill is one of those artists whose work I never tire of and I hope you don’t either, because I have a tendency to want to feature her work every chance I get! One of my favorite elements running through Jill’s work is the urban, graffiti-like graphics. So for this Art to Inspiration, I’ve put together a Ricci-inspired gallery of street art!

June 7, 2012 at 9:18 AMThanks, Kaitlyn! Not nearly done with the redesign yet ( and it will eventually move to its own domain ). The lack of reliable internet at home is really wearing on me!
