  • Artist Release | 'Birds of a Feather' by Shields Cantone

    Artist Release | 'Birds of a Feather' by Shields Cantone
    Give a warm welcome to another new addition to the Collective, Shields Cantone!
     
    This collection of bird studies bring quiet water scenes to life with a soft, painterly touch. Black swans gliding through pale blue-green water, a great blue heron standing statue-still at the shoreline, spoonbills wading among lily pads and sweet ruby-throated hummingbirds caught mid-hover beside trailing pink blossoms. Each of these paintings balances loose brushwork with careful attention to the birds' character.

    Artist Release | 'The Things We Keep' by Skye Miller
    Happy Thursday, friend! We're back this week to introduce you to Skye Miller, another new addition to the Collective!
     
    ‘The Things We Keep’ collection reads like a love letter to the vase and blooms still life, reimagined again and again in a loose, gestural hand that never quite lets the flowers sit still. Miller moves fluidly between moody indigo on cream compositions, blooms caught mid-sway in a vessel, an inky iris rendered with a single line and warmer, more textured pieces where patterned backgrounds and unexpected color pairings give the work added depth.

    We are so happy to be introducing you to our newest Collective addition, Kirksey Lowther based in the mountains of North Carolina!
     
    At first glance you notice the quilts throughout this collection but then they become something more, a kind of textile that's clearly been loved for generations. But look closer, and the quilt is the entire world: a tent, a hideaway, a safety, a sun-warmed cocoon perfect for napping.

    Today's magical release is arriving to you from Julie Marriott!
     
    Julie's newest collection features luminous white swans as they glide through jewel-toned lily ponds bursting with color. Each piece is rendered in a bold, joyful style that balances colorful palettes with pops of neon. The canvases radiate warmth and wonder, with feathers brushed in blush, gold and chartreuse, and waters that shimmer in warm shades of teal, pink and violet.
