Simply In The Sticks

Cara Vaughan is the visionary artist behind Simply In The Sticks, where she transforms the profound beauty of nature into captivating works of art. Her private studio, nestled within a secluded natural setting, serves as the intimate environment for her distinctive creations.

Her artistic philosophy centers on bringing imaginative scenes to life and exploring the essence of nature through a deeply intuitive process. This manifests in a delightful blend of whimsical narratives—featuring charming, Waldorf-inspired characters amidst lush botanical settings—and compelling abstract paintings that elegantly incorporate organic elements. Cara's approach to color is guided by an innate understanding of its spiritual impact, carefully arranging lines, textures, shapes, and hues to convey profound emotions and a sense of unburdening. Collectors will also discover her exquisite post-impressionist alla prima oil pieces, where scenes are spontaneously captured with expressive brushstrokes, inviting a journey of quiet contemplation and joy in soft details.

Each piece is conceived not merely as an adornment, but as an heirloom – a singular expression destined to resonate uniquely with its collector, enriching their space with enduring beauty and irreplaceable value.

Her mastery extends across a diverse palette of mediums, including the opaque richness of acrylic gouache, the delicate flow of watercolor, the versatile intensity of acrylic ink, and the deep luminosity of oil paints.

Beyond the easel, Cara draws boundless inspiration from her serene surroundings and an active imagination. Her life is a continuous wellspring of creative energy, deeply connected to the natural rhythms of the landscape that defines 'simply in the sticks'.

We invite you to explore this exclusive collection and discover a work that speaks to your spirit, offering a lasting legacy of artistry.

"My greatest reward is to hear how each unique creation forges a unique dialogue with its collector and illuminates their personal narrative; awakening profound contemplation within their space."
