Oh, if only Boston wasn’t so far from California! When we heard about Patch NYC‘s new show with artist Elizabeth Grubaugh, we immediately wanted to hop on a plane and check it out. “When Don and I were thinking of an art show to kick off the spring season we knew a lot of color would be ideal after such a long, lingering winter. So we immediately thought of Elizabeth’s work,” says John Ross, the proprietor of the shop (along with Don Carney). “She manages to create palettes that are dense with color but never overwhelming to the eye—and that’s not easy. For this show, we asked Elizabeth to focus on her botanical imagery because we like how she takes plant forms and makes them almost abstract through her line work.”
Don and John even developed a collection of jewelry that’s inspired by Elizabeth’s creations. And thankfully for those of us who live thousands of miles from Patch NYC, they’re offering her beautiful giclee prints, decoupaged glass paperweights, and one-of-a-kind silk-screened pillows on their website. Of course, if you’re in the Boston area, you should definitely stop by to view them in person—along with all of the other great wares that Don and John stock in their South End store.
