I create art for the lovers of the strange, bizarre, mystical, and whimsical! Hi, I'm Kaitlyn and I'm a traditional #watercolor and #gouache #artist ~ I'm mostly inspired by the surreal, the psychedelic, nature, space, fantasy, and the human experience. Prints/Merch; www.the-inner-observer.com

Practice certainly equals improvement! 📣 My gouache painting "Strawberry Daydream" I made last year. ✨️ #gouache #practice #art

Never give up your dreams. ✨️ Throwback to when I was working on "Woodlands" using watercolor. Prints; www.the-inner-observer.com

I know you post about how much you hate AI on a weekly basis, but allow me to use your art to create an AI generated slop image and then claim "authorship" over your plagerized work. My gouache painting (left) and the AI (right) Support my human art; www.the-inner-observer.com

Next time someone says, "Your art looks like AI," respond by saying, "No, AI looks like MY art," because you know, it's literally trained on our pre-existing, copyrighted art without our permission.

This is my story ❤️ Prints; www.the-inner-observer.com #artist #art #trauma

Woah dude, it costs that much because it takes me f*cking hours 🎵 #watercolor Prints of my work; www.the-inner-observer.com

The start of something new 🦋💜 Luna Moth kitty! #gouache

The last time I painted or drew anything was in March. My mental health and energy levels have been in a bad place, which made it hard to draw or paint. I finally sat down and drew this little alien-bird kitty yesterday. It's kind of simple, but my brain needs simple right now. #sketch #gouache

I turn 31 today and am afraid to admit that I still have no idea what I'm doing but that's okay. ✨️

Every week I'm seeing more and more local businesses in my area jump to use AI in order to advertise their events, their products, or services. They are hideous, all look completely generic, and make me never want to support your business.

T-15 minutes until Centerooo opens at Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival! I'm ready to rock after the cancelation and flooding that occured here last year. Wish me luck! I can't wait to see everyone this year!

"The Guardian" Do you like Snow Leopards? This piece was painted using watercolors and white ink on paper a few years back. It remains one if my personal favorite pieces! Prints; www.the-inner-observer.com #watercolor #whimsical

Yay! I love seeing my work framed up and matted so beautifully.

23 years of practice in 43 seconds. ✨️ I dare you to never give up! I started drawing as a young child. I wanted to be a good artist, so I practiced, and practiced, and practiced. I'm now a professional artist! #chaseyourdreams #artist #glowup

Just to clear things up. 😌 Prints/Merch; www.the-inner-observer.com

It's worth it. 😁 How do I know? Well, somebody resonated with ir enough to want it on their wall forever! "The Archer" was painted using watercolors on paper. Sometimes I can't believe being an artist is my actual job. Like, I get to paint for a living? Crazy! #watercolorartist

I want see AI crash as hard as NFTs did 💚

Only human made art over here. 💚 #watercolor

Pretty sure most of my paintings have been accused of being AI at some point recently. 🙄 I will never use AI. My work is always hand painted on paper using watercolor or gouache. www.the-inner-observer.com #noai #watercolorartist #gouache

"The Wiseman" ✨️ Do you like ferrets? This little guy is technically an Ermine. Watercolor on paper Ps. Use code SPRING2026 to get 20% off all my prints this week! www.the-inner-observer.com

I have some exciting news! I recently partnered with Tattoomyshoes to create a unique line shoes featuring my artwork! 😍 I never really imagined my work on shoes, so this is kind of a dream come true. tattoomyshoes.com/collections/...

I am starting a petition to no longer refer to AI "art" as AI art but instead as Computer-Rendered Artificial Pictures (CRAP). Pass it on.

"Night Wing" was created using #gouache on paper. 🦉 #owl Prints/merch of my work; www.the-inner-observer.com

Supporting another person's success will never ruin yours. 👌

Fun fact about me; When I'm not painting, I'm out in the woods categorizing mushrooms. 😁 It might be why they make so many appearances in my paintings. Ps. Autism is a spectrum. This video is meant to be humorous. #mycology #watercolorartist #funny #autism #autismacceptance

This is one I relate to heavily. Three weeks ago I ended up in the ER due to having a severe, long lasting anxiety episode. I didn't sleep for three days and was tremoring. I thought I was dying and going crazy. "Can Eye Pick Your Brain?" 🧠 #anxiety #mentalhealth #watercolor #watercolorartist
