Random artists

Various people I follow on FB post imagery by artists I've never heard of, and I'm often intrigued enough to search them out. Then I forget their names and they fade from view. So I thought today I'd devote a post of my own to some of the artists I've encountered recently, so they won't disappear on me. I've linked their names to a little more about them and their work. There's so much beautifully inspired art out in the world. It makes my heart glad. (Click on the images to see them large on black.)
