"This piece is all about summer, all-year-round," says artist Marie-Eve Champagne. "Palm trees, beaches, green grass, evening walks, bike rides by the sea, fedoras, and all of that. Recollections of past summers, of childhood vacations, of cherished escapes. Greens, yellows, and blues. And peaches, purples, oranges." Part of Marie-Eve's series exploring coastal life and the warmth of weather, venue, and feeling.

About the Artist
Southern California transplant Marie-Eve is heavily influenced by the region’s natural environment and beauty. She works from a studio inside her San Diego home where she enjoys looking out the window to draw inspiration from the sunlight’s effect on the landscape. Marie-Eve’s work occupies a unique space at the intersection of fine art and stylized modern design, utilizing both representational and abstracted subjects. She juxtaposes organic forms with clean planes, thick outlines, and blocks of color that delight the eye. Using limited but carefully selected color palettes, Marie-Eve joyfully articulates concepts and elements of the natural world through a clean, modernist aesthetic.
