I have wanted to share this artist with you ever since I started my blog. I discovered Sarah Ashley Longshore at the Well's Gallery in Charleston, SC in September 2009. She was hosting an art show while I was down visiting my parents while my dad played in a golf tournament. I had to go back to school the day of the show and was super disappointed that I did not get to meet this awesome girl. However, I have had the chance to learn more about her and tell her how much I adore her through her account on Facebook.
She paints incredibly colorful "pop" art inspired by everyday things and her celebrity obsession, Audrey Hepburn. She paints on canvas with acrylic and a heavy top glaze. My favorites include the ones of Veuve Cliquot Champagne bottles, her "Lurkin Berkin" paintings based on the iconic Hermes bag, and the girl with the goldfish. I cannot wait until I get a job because my first big girl purchase will be one of her works of art. I have never found an artist that showcases my style and love for color better. She is based out of her New Orleans art studio on Magazine Street and you can find her on her website AshleyLongshore.com .
Here are a few of her pieces to make your day happier! Enjoy!
