Edward Dare Gallery in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Sally Cade
The Edward Dare Gallery in Charleston, SC, is presenting an exhibit of works by Mount Pleasant, SC, artist Sally Cade, on view through Feb. 28, 2007.
For the past 11 years, Cade has enjoyed great success showing her downtown vignettes and Charleston architectural paintings at Low Country Artists, Ltd., an artists cooperative gallery on East Bay Street. Being part of a cooperative gallery requires a great deal of time for management and sales efforts by participating artists; this move to the Edward Dare Gallery will allow Cade to focus her energy on her artwork.
Cade has a strong appreciation of the beauty that the low country offers a painter to capture. She and her husband have visited Charleston every year for 45 years and decided to make Mt. Pleasant home 15 years ago. "For years our family came to Charleston every summer and I took photos of the city and went back to Cincinnati and painted Charleston. It is a treat to be able to look at all of these things whenever I want to now. I love the gas lights in the evening, the church bells, the smell of the salt air and the good friends that have made this Yankee feel like this is home," says Cade.
Cade has been painting for as long as she can remember and has developed a signature style of capturing the fine details of Charleston architecture while still maintaining a soft and often dreamy style. Her landscapes are precise yet soft renderings that often include knarled, personified oak trees, hazy moonlit steeples, peaceful marshes and sweeping seascapes.
Cade has won numerous awards in juried shows sponsored by both the Mt. Pleasant Artists Guild and the Charleston Artists Guild. Her most recent awards were the Peoples Choice Award and an Honorable Mention in the 2006 First Federal Signature Show. With the large number of accomplished artists active in the Charleston art community, winning local awards such as these has become a significant accomplishment.
Cade is a graduate of the University of Michigan with a degree in Fine Arts. She also attended the Pratt Institute of Fine Art in New York. She was a designer for Norcross Greeting Cards in New York and Gibson Greetings in Cincinnati.
Cade has been an exhibiting artist with Edward Dare's sister gallery Sandpiper Gallery on Sullivan's Island, SC, since that gallery opened five years ago.
