December Guest Artists: Paul Flint and Audrey Laine Sawyer
Art & Light Gallery’s final exhibition of 2026 features guest artist pop-ups highlighting Asheville jewelry artist Audrey Laine Sawyer and Greenville artist Paul Flint. The exhibition offers collectors a striking dialogue between wearable, nature-inspired sculpture and compelling multi-disciplinary paintings and assemblages. An opening reception is planned for Friday, December 4 from 6:00 – 9:00 PM.
Beginning on Tuesday, November 10 – December 23 new work by jewelry artist and metalsmith Audrey Laine Sawyer will be available for purchase on the Art & Light website and in the gallery. Audrey uses a variety of traditional metalworking techniques to create wearable and sculptural objects that are an exploration of nature, geometry, and design. Her hollow forms with pierced silhouettes are fabricated in sterling silver and brass, set elements include gemstones and carved wood, interiors are patinaed or powder coated, and statement chain is hand fabricated. Audrey studied painting and graphic design at Rollins College, and attended Haywood Community College’s Professional Crafts program for Metals. Her work is made by hand in small batches in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
Greenville artist Paul Flint brings more than 45 years of artistic history in the Upstate to Art & Light. A graduate of the Fine Arts Center and Furman University, Flint is an original founding member of the ArtBomb Studios, an anchor institution in the West Village arts community. The work included in the showcase highlights his signature approach to mixed media, combining dynamic textures with rich, layered visual storytelling that local collectors have long admired. Flint’s work will be on view in the gallery from Tuesday, December 1 – Wednesday, December 23.
