These four women artists create watercolor art in four different ways. Given their unique life experiences and artistic journeys, we\u2019d expect nothing less! From feminine and fashionable to symbolic and fantastical, we\u2019re taking a look at how four female creators make watercolor art differently.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the constant fight for equality and women being underrepresented in art<\/a>, it\u2019s always important to shine a spotlight on female creators. Having to work hard to get recognition for their artistic abilities and talent, it makes sense that women artists would be inspired in different ways by their identity. While we often see this influence represented in art through empowering messages of advocacy, body positive subject matter, and feminine fashion, artists find inspiration in a variety of places. Sometimes, your identity drives what you create, but that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From botanical animals to mythical beings, the work from these artists can bring stylishly carefree or intimately contemplative vibes to your space. From realism portraits to dreamy scenes, keep scrolling to find a new favorite artist.<\/p>\n\n\n

Inspired by classical art, contemporary writing, and tattooing, Virginia-based artist Cris James\u2019 artwork features portraits of women. Perhaps a more expected subject matter, she really hones in on the complex and curious side of her female characters. Capturing their emotions and personalities through symbolic body art and surreal elements such as horns coming out of their head, her work encompasses the beauty, darkness, and raw realness of each lady.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
