Frogs are one of the fascinating animals that are often overlooked by artists, but Kaitlin Hoyt decided to change that. She specializes in wild and whimsical animal art, and many of her illustrations put a dreamy twist on frogs and reptiles, that will change the way you look at these animals.
Hoyt describes herself as a visual artist who explores themes of connectivity and kinship through whimsical fusions of flora and fauna, and she uses a combination of different artistic styles to bring her paintings to life.
“Hoyt combines precise detail with dreamy playfulness that speaks to her fascination with both the natural and imaginary. With acrylic and colored pencil, her paintings express admiration for nature’s ability to persist and adapt – traits that have driven her own evolving self-taught practice,” she writes on her official website.
Hoyt’s Instagram page is filled with quirky animal portraits, but reptiles clearly hold a special place in her heart. She’s not too concerned about showcasing them in a realistic manner, and most of her illustrations put a whimsical twist on frogs, snakes, and other reptiles, giving them a fairytale-like feel.
In addition to sharing her art with 70,000 followers on Instagram, Hoyt also participated in many artist residencies and published several children’s books.
