Art League of Hilton Head on Hilton Head Island, SC, Features Works by Lynn Parrot
The
Art League of Hilton Head on Hilton Head Island, SC, will present
the exhibit, Lynn Parrott: Recent Paintings, on view at
the League Gallery from Jan. 15 through Feb. 9, 2008.
Parrott has a passion for art. She'd always dreamt of a life as
an artist. This she has achieved. Art provides the peace, love,
hope and joy that makes her life complete. As she turns to her
paintbrushes, paints and oils, she continues to rediscover herself
and add new dimensions to her artwork, inspired by her environment.
The landscape of the Lowcountry and the constant movement of the sea provide the means for exploring a variety of color and textures that provide her with the opportunity to turn these ordinary, singular places in time into everlasting works of art.
As color flows from Parrott's broad brushes onto the canvas, the subjects take on a cloak of abstraction and come alive with a unique perspective. She loves the beauty of South Carolina's Lowcountry and the wild abandon of the North Carolina mountains. That love she translates into the dynamic, multi-layered and richly colored paintings that define her spirit and soul. Working in oil pastels, oil bars or oil paints, she creates her own unique views of the area, creating exciting images to be enjoyed by everyone. The magic of her surroundings -the ocean, moons, tides, marshes and mountains- are her inspiration.
As a native South Carolinian, Parrott grew up with an artist mother who encouraged her studies towards an art degree from Queens University and post graduate work at Clemson University. As a young mother with a growing family she painted at every opportunity on every available surface, relentless in her desire to become a fine artist. Now a fine artist, her work can be seen at Camellia Art Gallery, the Red Piano Gallery, the CSA Building's Fraser Gallery, the Sea Pines Community Center, and the Art League Gallery of Hilton Head. Her work has been acclaimed in numerous one-person and group shows in the area, particularly during the period of 1999-2007.
Parrott studies with renowned artists like Charles Reid, Sheila Parsons, Frank Webb, Morgan Samuels Price, and Michael Karas, who have all helped perfect her style.
The Art League of Hilton Head is a not-for-profit membership organization dedicated to promoting and supporting the visual arts through education, exhibitions and partnerships for the cultural enrichment of the community and its visitors. It operates a Gallery staffed by volunteers for the display and sale of artwork by its members.
