Beaufort Art Association in Beaufort, SC, Features Works by Lissa Addington
The Beaufort Art Association in Beaufort, SC,
will present the exhibit, Lissa-Her Life in Photography,
featuring works by Lissa Addington, on view in the BAA Gallery
from Jan. 8 through Feb. 16, 2008.
The exhibit is a benefit celebration of the life and art of Lissa
Addington, a fine artist and dear friend to many, who succumbed
to cancer in June after a long and trying battle. By her husband's
bequeath, 70 per cent of the proceeds from sales will go to the
BAA.
Addington grew up in an artistic family and led a full life in
the arts. David, her husband and fellow photographer, earned graduate
degrees in Theater. She later ran a successful professional photography
studio in Bowling Green, OH, for 8 years before moving to Georgia.
When the Addingtons retired to Fripp Island, they fully indulged
their passion and expertise in art photography.
Addington also volunteered and served as board member for many
organizations including the BAA, the Friends of Fripp Island Music
and Friends of Caroline Hospice. Her favorite photographic subjects
were animals, and her sense of humor and whimsy shines through
her images. Some of her more recent images were taken on a cruise
where she was able to view, pet and photograph Grey Whales up
close and personal.
