I've always had an obsession with Vincent Van Gogh since I was a little girl. I went to the Van Gogh museum im Amsterdam last year and was in complete awe, I think I stayed there for 5 hours, just looking at the paintings again and again and again.

My favourite:

I've recently discovered April Gornik, and was smitten with her work.

Check out some more of her art at http://www.aprilgornik.com


Mary Ryden: what can I say I'm trendy. I like that he uses a lot of satire in his pieces. Some are a little unsetteling to look at though: very gothic.

I love looking at work by graff artist DAIM, his technique is astounding.

And, another graff artist you've probably all heard of, Banksy just blows me away.

[font=Geneva,Arial,sans-serif]Israel describes it as a vital security barrier, while the UN says it's illegal. But as far as the guerrilla graffiti artist Banksy is concerned, the 425-mile long barrier that separates Israel from the Palestinian territories is a vast concrete canvas too tempting to resist.



The subversive dauber, who has terrorised galleries on both sides of the Atlantic and who last year installed a very sexed-up bronze spoof of the Old Bailey's statue of Justice in central London, has ventured further afield for his latest project.
