She was fortunate growing up to have a grandmother, Helen Kilgore, who painted. \u201cA teacher by profession, she taught me to coax the greatest flavor and beauty out of every mundane thing,\u201d Kilgore Condon says, \u201cleading to an incredibly rich life, full of interest, full of amazement.\u201d She remembers the night her grandmother invited her and all of her cousins outside to watch a sunset that \u201cset an alfalfa field ablaze in saturated bright transparent green and yellow,\u201d she says. \u201cShe got us there in time to catch that moment. And then we walked back with fireflies in the tall grass all around the path.\u201d She recalls \u201cthe smell of that darkness falling, fragrant, and rich with long shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_67877\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67877\" class=\"wp-image-67877\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-NEWest-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"545\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-67877\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Blue Goose. Diane Kilgore Condon, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>She studied art in college, then worked for 10 years in corporate retail in visual merchandising. \u201cThe work involved a tremendous amount of shifting product to catch the eye of the consumer,\u201d she says. There were \u201cmannequins, which I disliked; merchandising, which I was neutral about; and making huge displays out of virtually nothing and anything, which I loved!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When she left the job, she took a \u201crough little studio\u201d in downtown Greenville and began painting in earnest. When the building sold, she needed a place to work and so set about to turn the building into art studios for herself and others. \u201cI bought the building with\u2014frankly\u2014God\u2019s help,\u201d she says. \u201cThere\u2019s just no other explanation as to how that happened. And so we just embarked on the adventure of our lifetime\u2014my friends and I and my fortuitous choice of a brilliant builder, my husband Michael.\u201d The project grew into ArtBomb Studios. On Saturday, May 18, from 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m., ArtBomb Studios will hold its 23rd annual Spring Show.<\/p>\n<p>A woman who visited her studio used an expression\u2014\u201cthe film of the mind\u201d\u2014that spoke volumes to Kilgore Condon and showed her how her own life and its translation into art plays out. She was \u201cdescribing how a glimpse of something becomes a moment so tangible, so heartbreakingly fleeting, that you can almost feel it evaporate,\u201d Kilgore Condon explains. \u201cSo you stamp it on your memory to keep it forever.\u201d It\u2019s what she did the night her grandmother took her out to see the sunset. \u201cI am sure those moments get recreated over and over,\u201d she says. \u201cAll those longhand memories, when everything seemed astonishing and new. I still have those moments now, and especially when I travel\u2014even to little local places I haven\u2019t been before.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_67879\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67879\" class=\"wp-image-67879\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-65x65.jpg 65w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-810x810.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_163324-Garden-Warren.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-artist-copy-1140x1140.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-67879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Garden Warren. Diane Kilgore Condon, artist<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The cover image of this issue of <em>The Laurel<\/em> is a prime example of Kilgore Condon\u2019s use of her storehouse of memories and sensations. Its origins lie in a time when her family was stuck in traffic outside Venice, Italy. Her daughter was four years old at the time. \u201cWe were in stand-still traffic after a full day of driving,\u201d she remembers, \u201csitting in the car on a road in an industrial\/farming area at the base of the Dolomites. The sun was setting, and a large blue-gray goose came waddling down a dirt road toward the stopped cars. Behind the leader were 15 ducks and a few young geese in a ragged, noisy line.\u201d Her daughter was afraid, she says, that the birds would be hurt if the cars started moving. Although unsure about the temperament of the big goose, she and her daughter walked past them in the tall grass and her daughter began honking. And, Kilgore Condon says, \u201cthey all turned around and followed her back to safety, waddling and beeping amongst themselves.\u201d Her daughter is in college now and this remains a favorite memory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDiane\u2019s love for the animals she paints is so apparent in her work,\u201d says Suzanne Camarata, owner of The Gallery at Flat Rock, which represents her work. \u201cI marvel at her ability to convey a sense of safety, warmth and freedom in the natural world that viewers can then bask in for themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_67880\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-67880\" class=\"wp-image-67880\" src=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy-250x300.jpg 250w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy-854x1024.jpg 854w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy-768x921.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy-810x971.jpg 810w, https:\/\/thelaurelofasheville.com\/updatestage\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Cover-Artist-Diane-Kilgore-Codon_175041-Vortex.-Diane-Kilgore-Condon-copy-1140x1367.jpg 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-67880\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vortex.
