    Artist Release | 'Star Jasmine' by Audrey Gore
    We're excited to welcome September with a new release by Greenville, South Carolina based artist and designer, Audrey Gore!
     
    Audrey's body of work features the graceful Star Jasmine vine as it winds across the delicate washes and drips of color in the backgrounds. Ideal for collectors seeking a piece that exudes tranquility and elegance, each work in this collection evokes a sense of serenity and connection to nature.


     
    The artist states, “During the spring, my husband and I traveled through France for a little over two weeks. As we explored, I relaxed in the silence broken here and there by the song of a happy bird, the sound of a wave, a melodic sea breeze. The art of doing nothing but what you please. I happily left the everyday hassles behind and allowed myself to be lulled by the new and familiar landscapes, people, and scents. 
     
    Once we reached the South of France—there was this magnificent star jasmine everywhere. It was stunning in full bloom with its intoxicating fragrance filling the air like an exquisite French perfumery. Upon my return home, I was welcomed back by the very same star jasmine. I smiled to myself as I thought about how these blooming vines have united two landscapes that I feel so connected to, yet are so far away.

    This collection is an ode to this botanical beauty. Just as its vines grow intertwining the fabric of two cultures, it symbolizes the love and connection I have to both the South of France, and my home in South Carolina. The splashes of color embody the sensational fragrance of these tiny blooms, while the drips are likened to the curiosities within nature. My intent is to simplify my work—to explore the unexpected and maintain the focus on the mark making while incorporating texture by utilizing mixed-media."
