“I have learned that the built environment has no value without the human factor, and believe that art has the ability to enhance that element in every space. As an artist, I am passionate about creating paintings that tell stories and translate this relationship”

About Gardenia

Gardenia Alston is an award winning artist who specializes in telling stories through abstract painting.

With an education in architecture and interior design, she explored different drawing and rendering techniques, but it wasn't until later that she began to paint on canvas.

Drawing inspiration from the different spaces and their inhabitants, Gardenia’s body of work is diverse. She enjoys exploring different textures and techniques where each work of art has a unique connection to their environment.

Inspired by stories and how they translate into art, she has also found that she can be a guide to anyone that wants to explore stories in color. She believes anyone can paint and that every painting can be meaningful.
