We first noticed KT Smail’s work when it popped up on our Instagram feed.
Now based in Brooklyn, New York, this Scotland-born illustrator and painter graduated from Edinburgh College of Art.
From female nudes reminiscent of the work of Henri Matisse to catwalk looks and beautiful blooms, her pieces are a colourful blend of florals and fashion.
Here are 15 of our Instagram favourites:
