We present to you our latest collection, a collaboration with Ochre Home. At the heart of this partnership is Geraldine, whose work is inspired by scenes and elements of nature.
In this journal, we invite you to explore Geraldine's artistic journey and the translation of her artwork into ready-to-wear pieces in our capsule collection titled
"On These Plains, Wildflowers Grew".
Meet Geraldine,
the creative behind this collaboration.
A visual artist by training, she is also an interior stylist, and her artistic pilgrimage is nothing short of captivating. Her story is a tapestry woven with the threads of nature's beauty, an affinity for the great outdoors, and a love for the timeless craft of painting.
An avid lover
of the outdoors,
she often indulges in plein air drawings, capturing the world around her with meticulous detail. The play of light, the texture of surfaces, and the changing colours of natureall serve as sources of inspiration for her.
Geraldine's
creative process
is a carefully curated ritual that sets the stage for her abstract paintings. She begins her painting days with a hearty breakfast and a steaming cup of tea. The backdrop of classical music or jazz helps her get into the artistic groove. Her mood and the ambient lighting in her workspace are pivotal in shaping her art; hence, it's imperative for her to feel inspired and positive before she picks up her brush.
The centerpiece of the Love & Bravery x Ochre Home collection is Geraldine's painting, titled "On These Plains, Wildflowers Grew". This masterpiece is a testament to her skill and imagination, capturing the transition from winter to spring on a vast plain.
This painting immerses viewers in a sensory experience. It makes you feel the soft grass under your feet, smell the subtle fragrance of flowers in the air, and hear the rustling of leaves and the presence of wildlife. Geraldine's use of gestural strokes and smooth prints masterfully transports us to this imaginative world.
