    Artist Release | 'I Wish I Had a Green Thumb' by Shana Wanco
    We're back this week with a new release arriving from Columbia, South Carolina based artist, Shana Wanco!
     
    Confess: your last plant didn't make it and neither did the one before it! Good news, because this collection is the garden you can't kill. Some of us were born with a green thumb but Shana prefers a paintbrush. This collection is for anyone whose houseplants have staged a dramatic exit, because these painted beauties will never wilt and will never need any watering! Each hand-painted botanical was created using gouache, Shana's favorite. These folk-inspired, block-printed style details, from striped leaves and scalloped petals to tiny painted veins—giving every piece the charm of an heirloom garden.
  • Artist Release | 'Giverny in Spring' by Jennifer Allevato

    Artist Release | 'Giverny in Spring' by Jennifer Allevato
    Today's lovely release is arriving from Alexandria, Virginia based artist, Jennifer Allevato!
     
    Each of these small-scale oil pastel landscapes is a love letter to Monet's garden, filtered through a bold, contemporary eye. Rather than the soft, hazy palette we expect from Giverny, Jennifer starts with deeply colored papers, allowing them to glow through the oil pastels as part of the composition. Blossoming cherry trees, pale yellow tulips, cypress spires, iris beds, rose-arbor walkways and mirrored water lilies are created from dense, tactile marks. The hand-drawn borders give them a vintage postcard look.
  • Artist Release | 'The Ballet' by Audrey Gore

    Artist Release | 'The Ballet' by Audrey Gore
    We're excited to be sharing a fresh new collection with you today arriving from Greenville, South Carolina-based artist and designer, Audrey Gore!
     
    ‘The Ballet’ is a collection where whimsical swans and tulips take center stage, celebrating the feminine balance of strength and elegance. Painted in watercolor, oil pastel, acrylic and charcoal on deckled-edged paper, each work features a soft-sage green ground against the deeper foliage that sweeps and curls around the swans like ribbons. Audrey's loose charcoal line lends the swans a gestural and expressive quality with necks arched, wings lifted and heads bowed in poised, dance-like poses that make every composition unique.
  • Artist Release | 'Postcards from Maine' by Maggie Grace

    Artist Release | 'Postcards from Maine' by Maggie Grace
    Get excited because today, Maggie Grace is taking us on a beautiful getaway to Maine and it's oh so dreamy!
     
    ‘Postcards from Maine’ is a lovely body of work that has captured the heart and soul the area. Inspired by Maggie's summer travels and time spent along the Maine coast, she set aside literal documentation in favor of something more intimate: the hush  of early morning fog lifting off a harbor, the warm hues of golden hour on still water, the collection of boats resting at anchor. Each work is a true memory of how the experience felt.
