Artist Love: Sevy Marie Art

As you can imagine, working for an auction house means I see a lot of art. From big name, blue chip artists to lesser known and anonymous artists, I've seen my fair share of paintings, prints, and more. My tastes definitely run towards a more classic look (my two favorite auctions are our Dogs in Art auction and the Impressionist & Modern Art auction), but I can certainly appreciate all of the Post-War & Contemporary art that comes through. That being said, imagine my surprise when I found myself moved by an abstract piece I saw in a magazine. The fact that I responded to an abstract piece alone was shocking to me, but when I looked further into the artist, Sevy Marie Eicher, my response wasn't as shocking and the work took on an additional meaning. Sevy Marie is a non-verbal artist with Downs Syndrome. When you look at her art, you can see the emotions expressed in the work and that each part of her painting is deliberate and thought out. If you aren't following her on instagram you should and, if you are able to, you should also donate to a nonprofit her family started, Sandal Gap Studio, a place where other disabled artists can create art. Below are a few works that I'm sure you will love as much as I do. I hope to one day own a piece of her work myself!

Feeling very inspired by this talented artist,
