Item Description

 

"I find poppies and quails so enticing to paint: their coloration, textures, and movement. Both appear in the most unuusual places, brightening even a weathered road sign or a dusty trail. How serendipitous that they are our State bird and flower."

 

ALYSON DE GUIGNÉ is deeply Californian. The fourth generation of her family with ties to the Monterey Peninsula, de Guigné is also related to Ansel Adams. After graduating from the University of Southern California, she worked in the film industry before returning to Carmel and shifting her creative focus to painting. Her fine art is held in private collections across the United States. As the artist-owner of Freedom Art (in Carmel-by-the-Sea), de Guigné has also developed a line of small scale artworks, including greeting cards and homegoods, tailored for destinations from Carmel to Napa, and from San Francisco to Nantucket.
