I've always loved the Pre-Raphaelite artists such as Edward Burne-Jones and John WilliamWaterhouse, but it wasn't until recently that I discovered Evelyn De Morgan.

Flora, by Evelyn De Pickering
Evelyn
was a female artist during the Victorian Era who created a total of 102
oil paintings. She came from a privileged family and was professionally
trained. Although it was difficult to make a name for herself as a
woman in the Victorian time, she had excellent skill and came to develop
her own personal style and philosophies through art. Her subjects were
almost always women and she used allegorical and spiritual subjects to
express her own views of spirituality and moral dilemma.

Medea by Evelyn De Morgan |
Her paintings were grouped into three groups, spiritualist allegories, depictions of sacred heroines, and war paintings.

The Love Potion, by Evelyn De Morgan |

I must say, I think I've found another favorite artist.
