A set of six unique greeting cards designed by Cotswold artist Tracey Elphick.
Genus is very much a Cotswold company. We live and garden here and we love this beautiful area of England. Over the next few months, we are introducing a range of gift products and gardening accessories made by artists and craftspeople living and working in the Cotswolds.
The first is a range of six greeting cards featuring specially commissioned paintings from Cirencester artist Tracey Elphick. The paintings are of our very favourite perennial plants, spanning each of the principal points of the colour wheel:
Blue: Delphinium 'Black Knight'
Violet: Salvia superba 'Violet Queen'
Red: Geum flora-plena 'Blazing Sunset'
Orange: Erysimum 'Fire King'
Yellow: Rudbeckia fulgida 'Goldsturm'
Green: Euphoria lathyris
The cards are blank so you can write your own message and the pack of six Greeting Cards with envelopes costs £20.
Size: 7" x 5" with 120gsm white envelopes
About Tracey Elphick:
Tracey paints landscapes of familiar scenes – local streets, harbours and seascapes – places that hold a great deal of visual interest with plenty of structure, colour, shape and form. Increasingly she is applying her unique style to still life subjects and the flora and fauna she sees around her in the Cotswold countryside.
Fascinated by the opportunities of mixed media, Tracey builds up layers of acrylic, ink, and collage, applying these with anything from sponges, rags, even fingers; scraping into wet paint, spraying, splashing and using quick spontaneous marks to help give a feeling of movement and harmony.
Formally trained in Fine Art from Falmouth Art College in Cornwall, England, Tracey now paints full time from her studio in the Cotswolds. She has exhibited widely across the region
These six representations of perennial plants, spanning the colour wheel, have been specially commissioned by Genus.
