We’re all art enthusiasts here at PrintsandStuff.com, and we’re always on the lookout for up and coming artists, and are happy to highlight their work on our blog in our “Must-Know Artists” category. We were wandering around online and found the lovely Magic Markings Art blog, “Marking the World with Whimsy and Color”. Cathie Carlson, the author of the blog and creator of these pretty and very bright paintings and hand painted gift items, is a mom, artist, and art teacher.

Her passion for art shines through in her work and her blog posts, and we love her cheery art. Cathy’s creative work will likely add a smile to your face and instantly brighten your outlook. Her artwork stirs up fun emotion and evokes the vibrance in our everyday lives.

Be sure to check out Cathie Carlson’s art at the Magic Markings Art blog and her Gift Shop!
