Cultural Council of Georgetown County in Pawley's Island, SC, Features Works by Emerging Artists
The
Cultural Council of Georgetown County is presenting a fall juried
Emerging Artists Exhibition at the Cultural Council's Gallery
in the Litchfield Exchange in Pawley's Island, SC. The exhibit
will be on view through Dec. 31, 2005.
A couple of the artists in the exhibit are Joel Steelmon and Catherine Thomas.
Steelmon studied art at the College of Charleston and the University of South Carolina. A resident of Holly Hill, SC, his "larger-than-life" acrylics on canvas are inspired by the coastal regions and marine life in South Carolina.
Born and raised in Washington, DC, Catherine Thomas spent many of her childhood Sundays accompanying her artist mother to the National Gallery of Art and Phillip's Gallery in the nation's capital. In her teen years, Catherine visited European museums and galleries, and then put her art on hold while working, getting married and raising six children. Through her oil painting, Thomas is now rediscovering her artistic heritage. She and her husband, Larry, have their own gallery and digital print production business in Leesburg, VA.
