One of my favorite items that I’ve ever bought from Etsy was from Geninne Zlatkis.  She is an incredibly talented artist with her focus on watercolor paintings.  I love her attention to detail, her color palette, and her subject matter.  I am particularly fond of birds and bought the print, “Lovebirds” as a Valentine’s Day gift for my husband (even though I think it was really for me!).  Besides being a beautifully and delicately painted piece of artwork, it’s also one of the nicest prints I have ever seen.  I am a bit weary of purchasing prints as I’ve ordered a few too many that were streaky, pixelated, or looked very cheap.  The type of paper she uses and the print itself is of very high quality; I at first thought it was an actual painted piece and not a print at all.  I am eager to purchase more of her work, especially ones in the Bird Series.

Geninne also has an amazingly talented husband who designed their house just outside Mexico City, and has photos of their home on Flickr.  The photos of her work and her home are very inspiring (I love her studio!).  It’s wonderful to be able to see the home of a creative person and to see how their art extends into their surroundings.
