Description

ALIVE: Air Earth Sea - an art show at Hannaford Studios. We are celebrating all living things in air, earth, and sea. Come view the incredible art of guest and wildlife artist, Aubrey Ashburn.
 
Hannaford Studios will be celebrating all things ALIVE with guest and wildlife artist, Aubrey Ashburn. Aubrey explains her art journey in her own words:
 
"Since learning about the growing elephant and rhino-poaching crisis and visiting Africa in 2014, I have been deeply inspired to express my love for animals through art. I am a wildlife activist and conservationist, using art as a cathartic expression and a cornerstone talking point for the growing movement. Through this passion I have found great joy in honoring them and other wildlife through vivid color and emotion.
 
I work from photographs, using them to hone my anatomical sketches. Creating a unique composition with soft charcoal, I then rub the charcoal lines away and begin painting in the darkest of shadows, and work my way to white from there. Painting wet on wet, I strive for realism in form but allow for abstraction within the shape, through a hyper-realized contrast and expression of color.
​ 
Painting for me, is wildlife preservation in action, when donating money to a cause often leaves me still feeling helpless. Each time I study a new animal; my appreciation for it grows, and energetically the healing starts there. I hope that my work highlights for the seer, the beauty and heart of these remarkable beings, bringing us all back to nature, where true healing is possible."
 
Come see they unique and vibrant paintings of guest, Aubrey Ashburn. Hannaford will have some small works available and a free, limited edition print giveaway, for one raffle winner! Come for the art, stay for the wine and cheese!
