🎨Artist Whitney LeJeune works to satisfy viewers on an emotional and an intellectual level - mating form, color and the power of suggestion in every effort. “My work as a female painter is bringing passionate art into peoples' lives. I’m pleased when I’ve captured the easily overlooked moments and emotions in life, and said a lot with just a few strokes of paint”.

She is a full-time, painter of the Carolinas currently residing and working out of her studio in Charleston, SC. Her style is influenced by her early childhood home, Austin, Texas, the southern elegance she finds in her family’s South Carolina roots, and her inescapable feminine perspective on the world.

Join us Friday, September 4th (6:00 - 8:00 PM) for the opening of FRUIT OF THE VINE: The Paintings of Whitney LeJeune. Experience her unique vision at this FREE event in the Bassett Gallery.

🎨 GALLERY OPENING: We're excited to host our first Bassett Gallery show this season with FRUIT OF THE VINE: The Paintings of Whitney LeJeune.

SAVE THE DATE:
🗓 FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
⏰ 6 - 7 PM
📍810 Lyttleton Street (Bassett Gallery)
💲FREE

This show is coming to us by way of the private collection of LeJeune's work that was commissioned for the labels of INNATE WINES (https://www.innatewines.com/) releases. LeJeune will join us for a night of art, fun, and frivolity.

MORE ABOUT THE ARTIST AND SHOW: While the female form is Whitney’s primary subject, crafted to convey a mood or experience with color, form and composition, this collection is unique in that each canvas and figure is inspired by the tasting of a unique-soon to be bottled wine. . . Flavor, aroma, story of the grape, vineyard location, stories from the winemaker about making that particular wine. They each embody and capture the character of a distinct wine and the winemaker’s effort. Whitney majored in Painting at the Savannah College of Art and Design earning her BFA in 2009. Whitney currently paints and lives in Charleston, SC with her husband and two young daughters.
