I can't recall how I found out about this artist, I think through Leslie, but I am crazy in love with the watercolor illustrations of Ana Montiel right now. From herbs to peep toe pumps, there is so much to love about Ms. Montiel!

This London-based, Spanish visual artist and designer has a great eye, there is nothing on her website that I don't connect to on some level. It's fun, fresh, funky, there is a certain energy to her work that I appreciate and her colorways make me smile -- soft but stylish and fresh. Her bio is so interesting but it's her illustrated personal timeline that I love so much, you have to check it out here.
