It's All About ANNIE!

If you follow us on instagram, you will already know how obsessed we are with the amazing artist, Annie Everingham! Everything she touches turns to pure gold, and we find ourselves falling head over heels for everything she paints (including her apron!)

We just can't stop looking at her pieces! There are always so many beautiful little snippets and if you ever catch us with a piece in store, you'll see us debating over which little snippet we like the most. It's the pops of neon amongst rich navy and plums - the beautifully washy sections up against the controlled architectural lines - the chaotic sections side by side with the vast blocks of colour... we just love it all!!!

With layers and layers of rich colour, you can see how much joy is in each piece! We love the youthful dynamics and interesting composition. The clash of pattern and florals, combine to create a dynamic and signature style. 

We are just so beyond excited to announce that we have been lucky enough to host an exhibition, in store, with the incredible ANNIE EVERINGHAM! It is going to be incredible!! We would love for you to join us, and to meet the incredible Annie herself! We know you will love her as much as we do!! If you want to get to know a little more about her, jump over to a previous interview with her here. 

If you don't live in Orange, don't fret because all artworks will be available for sale online! But why wait, this could be the perfect time to visit our amazing town (and store!) Orange is just full of amazing things to do, eat and drink - and it's right at the start of Orange FOOD Week!! FOOD Week is our favourite of year, check out the Brand Orange website here for a full program of events. The Night Markets on the Friday night is a must, so why not make a long weekend to remember! We've also written a blog post on all our favourite things to do in Orange, be sure to check it out here.

We hope to see you there!!

Amy Wright joins the gang!

We are insanely thrilled to be welcoming artist and florist extraordinaire Amy Wright to our JUMBLED gang! She has got to be one of the coolest creatives around, dappling in two of our favourite things ever - art and flowers! Interestingly Amy began her career in the corporate world, working with textiles and colour for the Automative Industry. Thankfully for us, she now not only paints the most incredible artworks (her colour palette is so perfect) but she also has our dream job styling flowers for weddings and events through Wunderplant! Crazy cool!

We were super lucky to get the chance to have a quick chat with Amy, and really get to know the girl behind the artworks! 

Mix or match

I am definitely more a MIX person! With a mixed bag of a background, I am drawn to endless patterns, textures, colors, all from different eras and genres. I love the interplay between the mis matched. Op shopping is one of my greatest vices! I love the story behind things, and love to think that things have come from somewhere completely different to where it is that you found it and where you'll be putting it. 

 

Fave colour combo

I adore colour. My favorite colour is always a moving target! My colour loves can be very seasonal. Much of my inspiration is drawn from my immediate surroundings - landscapes, flora - as the surroundings change so too does my colour palette loves.  I do love the mix of dusty muted neutrals, with a sudden punch of a high chroma accent in a vibrant orange, emerald green or a regal purple.

 

Where do you find your inspiration

My immediate surroundings are my go to for inspiration, my works are often botanically biased, and there is a never ending bucket of inspiration from the floral world. Plants are just amazing!  I do have the inclination to look at parts of landscape that others wouldn't normally notice. I like to hone in on sections, get up close and look at the patterns, textures and colours that appear when you isolate a section and remove it from its 'normal' environment. 

 

Dream holiday destination

Europe, somewhere, anywhere.

Your perfect day

30 degrees and sunny with a gentle breeze. Start with a walk along the coast with camera in hand, returning inevitably with a handful of grasses and floral samples. Time out in the garden in the sunshine with a cuppa, followed by a painting sesh in the studio, perhaps a couple of hours....general pottering about..... glass of wine and yummy dinner with my partner Steve. A relaxed, no frills kinda day 

 

Describe your style at home

Mixed! And always changing! I drive Steve mad with my rearranging! I go through periods with lots of colour and pattern and then I'll put that stuff away and it'll be muted coloured velvets and linens. I am a collector of things so I have little collections dotted around. Things in groups of 3, 5, 7.... Too many decorative white ceramic vases. Plants, plants, some flowers, and some more plants.

 

Fave flower or foliage

One and the same.  FAVE = Grasses, what most people would call weeds. So beautiful. Their structure, their colours, their movement and the sound they make when the wind blows.

We are lucky enough to have two of Amy's pieces in store, and they are beyond amazing! Check out her pieces online here!

Meet Larissa!

Larissa Blake is one of the newest artists to join the JUMBLED art gang! Her intense colours, bold compositions and impressively large scale pieces are right up our alley. Orange locals would know Larissa well (and have probably spotted her in store now and again) but we wanted to give you all the chance to get to know this clever lady!

Mix or Match | Mix

Fave Colour Combo | Pink and Green in all its variations

Where do you find your inspiration | My art is inspired by the everyday, the world around me.  I’m constantly taking photos for references. The stunning view from my studio informs my landscapes, and my collection of objects and furniture appears in my interiors.  The garden is increasingly featuring in my work, which is no surprise as my husband Matt, owns a garden centre.  I recently realised a tendency to also paint what I feel is missing or what I wish to manifest in my life.
Dream holiday destination | New York.  It’s awesome, the energy there is incredible.  I can’t wait to go again.  
 
Your perfect day | I’m a night owl so my perfect day would include: a sleep in, day care, yoga session, hit the studio, and Matt cooking dinner.  Well, we can all dream.  No really,  I like to keep things pretty simple, a coffee with a girlfriend is a treat,  time in the studio is a must and dinner with the family makes me one happy chick.
 
Describe your style at home | My home like my studio is a beautiful mess.  Last year I attempted 'the life changing magic of tidying up', I’m still doing the sock fold thing but it’s doing my head in. I have a weakness for cushions and books, paintings everywhere, (my mother Loretta Blake is also a painter) and an ever-increasing collection of pots and plants.  It’s full and interesting and I love it.  I could be your poster girl for 'more is more less is a bore’
We are lucky enough to stock her beautiful artworks in store and online! Check out her pieces online here.
