Three New Exhibitions at the Burroughs-Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC
The Franklin G. Burroughs-Simeon B. Chapin Art Museum in Myrtle Beach, SC, greets 2003 with three exhibitions featuring the works of four SC artists. The exhibitions, Rose Metz's Pentimento, Deane Ackerman and Sylvester Hickmon's Pencil, Pen and Paint and Lee Sipe's East Meets West - Innovations from Nature, open on Jan. 4, and continue through Feb. 23, 2003. Free Sunday at the Museum for these exhibitions will be Jan. 26, 2003, with a docent tour at 2 pm led by Bobbie Lawson, retired Coastal Carolina University art instructor.
Rose Metz
Three of the artists, Metz, Ackerman and Hickmon, live in Sumter, SC. Rose Metz's glowing abstracts are known in contemporary art circles throughout South Carolina. Often a prize winner in regional juried art exhibits such as the South Carolina Watercolor Society and the South Carolina State Fair, she has had solo exhibitions in other museums in the state. For years she has taught at the Sumter Gallery of Art, in addition to conducting workshops throughout the state. A lifelong student of art, Metz has studied at various art institutions in this country and abroad, including with noted Myrtle Beach painter Alex Powers.
Deane Ackerman
Award-winning artist Deane Ackerman is often a participant in South Carolina art competitions. Intricate detail and the play of light characterize her colored pencil drawings. In 2000 she achieved five-year merit status with her fifth acceptance into the Colored Pencil Society Annual International Exhibition. Her works have been included in the prestigious Rockport Publisher's Best of Colored Pencil # 2, Best of Colored Pencil #3 and Floral Inspirations.
Sylvester Hickmon
Ackerman is joined by fellow colored-pencil artist Sylvester Hickmon, who started his artistic career as a painter and printmaker, but has devoted the last 11 years almost exclusively to working in colored pencil. He appreciates the detail the medium allows for the realism he likes to capture in his images. Hickmon's works are frequent winners in statewide exhibitions, and he has shown with the International Colored Pencil Society, as well as being included in the publication Best of Colored Pencil #5.
Lee Sipe
Lee Sipe, who now lives in Columbia, SC, credits her Korean heritage for honing her appreciation of simplicity and the ordinary which she has elevated to artistry in her baskets and pottery. She has taught basketry at Columbia colleges, including the University of South Carolina. Sipe's baskets, which have been lauded and collected throughout the Southeast, have been featured in numerous publications, notably FiberArts and Southern Living. She frequently exhibits with Blue Spiral 1 of Asheville, NC, one of the Southeast's most highly regarded arts and crafts galleries, and her work is included in the permanent collection of Charlotte, NC's Mint Museum of Art.
