Caitlin Connolly is a young, Utah-based artist, and she is one of my very all-time favorite artists. I love her concepts of womanhood, motherhood, religion, family, spousal love, fertility. Her figures are uniquely hers, with motifs like triangle dresses and large feet. Her color palettes and oil painting textures are beautiful. Basically, she is everything I want to be as an artist! I just included a few paintings that I love, but please check out all her work on her website!
