Pamela
Williams Crist
Pamela Williams Crist is an award-winning artist currently living in Greensboro, NC. She composes all of her works as she would a landscape, even her still life images, such as the Dead Flowers series. Crist wants the viewer to see her photograph and enter into the image. She is a purist with her strictly black and white photographs.
Crist is the founder of Dalmatian Black and White Custom Lab, which specializes in B & W custom processing and printing. After studying Commercial Art at GTCC, Crist's early design and illustration work led her into the world of photography. She studied with leading B & W photographers John Sexton, Morley Baer (who was a contemporary of Ansel Adams), Huntington Witherill and Alan Matthews at the Cortona Center of Photography in Tuscany, Italy.
Crist's photographers are widely collected both by corporations and privately. Awards include, twice winning the North Carolina Photographer's "Annual Best of Competition Award" and the prestigious "Best of the Best" International Award.
Sayed Rawi
Sayed Rawi, a native of Cairo, Egypt, is exhibiting his Musical Paintings in Gallery B. He strives to reach a common ground and harmony between Eastern and Western cultures. Rawi's vision comes from his childhood, living in the valley of the Nile River. In this current series on "musical" paintings, he is combining his Eastern influences with Western Classical music by composers such as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart and Vivaldi, to create rhythmic and colorful images.
Similar to Pam Crist, Rawi has a background and degrees in design, marketing and illustration. He moved to the US in 1983 to study art at UNC-Greensboro and earned another graduate marketing degree from A&T University. In 1993, Rawi also completed a program in Computer Animation from the School of Communication Arts in Raleigh, NC. Rawi resides in Ruffin, NC.
The Kaleidoscope Youth Gallery features artwork from the TAG Summer Camps. Art from campers age 4 to 17 will be displayed.
In the Hallway Gallery, High Point YWCA sponsors the exhibit, Our Voices, featuring photographs by area women on the diversity of women in High Point. This summer project was funded by High Point Area Arts Council.
