Who needs a cup of coffee to start the day when you can have this? Seriously.

Amanda Valdez – an up and coming Seattle based artist –  is causing some serious ripples in the west coast art scene. I found her work while browsing through a few art magazines (totally forgot which one! Luckily I wrote down her name) and couldn’t get enough of it.

Bold color blocks combined with mixed media make her paintings pop out and take over the whole space. Ahhh, so beautiful.

So, do you need that cup of coffee? Probably. Difference is, now it’ll taste better after seeing Amanda’s art. You’re welcome :)

Happy Monday friends.
