City of North
Charleston in North Charleston, SC, Features Works by Luiz Galvao
and Deborah Meyer
The City of North Charleston
in North Charleston, SC, will present the exhibits, Art with
Pencils, featuring works by Luiz Galvao and Lowcountry
Life: As Nature is Presented, featuring works by Deborah Meyer.
Both exhibits will be on view from Oct. 1 - 30, 2009, at the North
Charleston Arts Gallery located at the Charleston Area Convention
Center in North Charleston.
Although he began his career as an educator in the engineering
field, Luiz Galvao's later careers as a Design Engineer and Technical
Illustrator led him to discover his talent and passion for art.
In his exhibition, Art with Pencils, he presents landscapes,
still life, and portraits using graphite, charcoal, and colored
pencils. The simplicity of his medium allows Galvao to thoroughly
explore light, shadow, and texture in his compositions. Originally
from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Luiz now resides in Greer, SC, and is
a member of the Artist Guild of Spartanburg, SC, and the Colored
Pencil Society of America.
Deborah Meyer's exhibition, titled Lowcountry Life: As Nature is Presented, features oil and watercolor pieces inspired by a lifetime of observing nature and the beauty of the Carolina Lowcountry. Meyer received a Bachelor in Fine Art from the University of Western Ontario and Windsor University. Originally from Toronto, Canada, she now resides in Mount Pleasant, SC.
The Cultural Arts Department is the recipient of the 2000 Elizabeth O'Neill Verner Award for the Arts and receives support from the National Endowment for the Arts, SC Arts Commission, and the corporate community.
