Serendipity strikes again, this time in my home town of Atlanta at Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore. August 6th-30th, both my oil paintings and calligraphic watercolors will be on display and for sale, featuring a broad spectrum of my creative vision - all in one room. This will be a first.
From Phoenix and Dragon:
We are thrilled to invite you to a mesmerizing exhibition featuring the exceptional talents of artist, Anne-Davnes Elser. Join us as we embark on an artistic journey through the essence of nature and the grace of calligraphy, skillfully blended to perfection in her captivating creations.
About Anne:
Intuitive empath, artist, and instructor, Anne believes making art and nurturing that process for others creates a channel for truth and is a soulful reflection of the connections shared by all. Blending both logical and philosophical approaches to design, layout, technique, and purpose to calligraphy, painting, bookbinding, and drawing, Anne’s unique teaching approach paves the way for the surprising ease of creative growth in an environment of wonder and pleasure.
Her calligraphic work has been featured in books and magazines across the country, and for private and corporate clients such as Tiffany&Co, MontBlanc, Louis Vuitton, Paces Papers, Landor, Martha Stewart Weddings, Belk, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdales, Clicquot Veauvé, World50, Ogilvy, Salvatore Ferragamo, and Speedball.
Don’t miss the opportunity to witness the synergy between art and nature, as well as the profound connection between the written word and the beauty of the floral world.
On display August 6th – August 31st.
TWO LIVE IN-STORE DEMOS:
I will also be demoing the techniques and materials used to create calligraphic watercolors you see in the show on two separate occasions: Sunday, August 6th from 2-4PM and Saturday August 26th from 2-4PM.
Anne will present for a demonstration of her calligraphic course in the Fall called FLORA, where she’ll be showcasing the tools and techniques used to create her unique approach in blending script lettering with florals and flourishes. Stop by her table to sample the techniques yourself, and watch her draw and paint YOUR name with watercolor pencils and watercolors. Take your name home with you and remember to sign up for FLORA in September where she’ll guide you for 8 delicious weeks of love and learning through the art of calligraphy and florals.
NEW IN-PERSON COURSE:
FLORA will be a live Thursday evening 8-session course in the gallery at Phoenix and Dragon Bookstore. We meet from Sep 7 - Oct 26 from 5:30-8PM. Signup details coming soon!
