by Tess Guinery (Author)
This romantic fusion of art--poetry, prose, and unbridled creativity--was birthed from one soul's season of adventure and unraveling, inviting us to surrender the great for the greater.
What started as a break from Australian artist Tess Guinery's rapidly growing design business turned into an instinctive, playful experiment with words, colors, and sounds--and eventually into a tangible book, The Apricot Memoirs. This collection of poetry and prose, thoughtfully illustrated and printed on colored paper, is infused with grace and playfulness. It explores love, personal growth, creativity, spirituality, vulnerability, and motherhood in the art medium of words, all the while creating a rich portrait of a deeply empathetic, talented, and whimsical artist. Esoteric, mysterious, and unfailingly beautiful, The Apricot Memoirs is an invitation to dig deep, embrace the uncomfortable, and free your creativity, unbound.Author Biography
Tess Guinery is a dancer by upbringing, a designer by trade, and an artist by calling. After graduating from the Karl Von Busse Institute of Design in Australia, she started her own freelance business. She soon established herself as a sought-after creator, but with design work bursting at the seams, Tess pressed pause and decided to take a sabbatical to explore her inner artist, to express, and ultimately to create unbound--which led her to the making of her tangible art piece, The Apricot Memoirs. She currently lives by the sea in Palm Beach, Australia, with her stuntman husband and their three spirited daughters.
