About Irena
I came across one of Irena Sophia’s illustrations a while ago on the cover of the Dutch Flow Magazine and immediately fell in love with her style. She lives and works in Salem, New York and has a fine art degree in painting. Irena’s illustrations are influenced by different elements such as vintage illustration, manga, folk art and modern design. She also has a blog where she regularly posts updates and you can find many lovely prints and products (like this 2015 calendar) in her Etsy Shop.

Love Irena’s work! My favorite artist would have to be my long time boyfriend. It’s been a joy to watch an artist firsthand; the struggles & the rewards. 🙂 Thanks for doing awesome giveaways btw.
My pleasure, Kayla! Happy you like it! 🙂
Just one!? I’ll pick my friend Dawn Sagar, I love her vibrant western landscape painting particularly the big one in our living room of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison.
Thanks! I really like this one: http://dsagarart.com/wordpress/?p=45
I love this painting! Just found you (and Irena) while browsing on Pinterest. It’s hard to pick a favorite painter, but one of them for sure is Joe Sorren! You probably already know him well, but if you don’t definitely check him out. I am also a painter, and I am probably somebody you’ve never heard of… I’d love for you to check out my website if you are so inclined: http://www.consutolosa.com
Yes! Joe Sorren is amazing! And your paintings are really beautiful too by the way. Thanks for sharing!
