Adele Marchant is an abstract artist and Charlotte native. She attended Georgetown University before attending law school at Duke University School of Law. Adele worked as a finance attorney in “Big Law” in Boston and New York City after graduation for several years before becoming a full-time abstract artist. Her art is a reflection of her own metamorphosis from rigidity to expression, from structure to freedom, from the well-carved path to the unknown, from precision to ineffability.
Adele’s style captures the tension and harmony between her two worlds - the years of cosmopolitan city life as an adult and the simplicity of unhurried days growing up in the South. Her art is a balance of both – a celebration of the slow ease of beautiful washes of color and rich pigments combined with the dynamism of fast-paced gestural marks, rich texture, and sophisticated colors. The celebration and juxtaposition of an iconically American upbringing.
The name Eukie Creative is an ode to Adele’s grandmother Eulalia, who was fondly called “Eukie” (pronounced “you-key”) by those who loved her. Adele was nearly named after her, but Eukie begged Adele’s parents not to. Adele has always regretted it - Eukie is her artistic alter ego, the next best thing.
