Shain Fine Art in Charlotte, NC, Features Works by William Jameson

Shain Fine Art in Charlotte, NC, will host an exhibition of paintings by William Jameson of Mt. Pleasant, SC, from Nov. 1- 30, 2002.

Jameson was born in Honea Path, SC, in 1944, but after high school he spent time traveling, studying and painting abroad. While in college, he studied at the Instituto Allende, San Miguel de Allende, Guanajuanto, Mexico. And his graduate work in graphics and sculpture brought him stateside to the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, FL. Jameson eventually returned to his home state of South Carolina.

If one-man exhibits defined Jameson's long art career, there would be a long list to include over a twenty-five year period. His first one man show was in 1973 in Columbia SC, followed by exhibits in New York City, NY, Savannah, GA, Charleston, SC, High Point, NC, and Shain Fine Art in Charlotte.

Jameson has participated in invitational shows in SC and NY, and in Bologna, Italy. While in New York, his paintings were used in the Woody Allen films, Manhattan and Interiors. Jameson and his remarkable oil paintings of nature have also appeared in dozens of publications over his career.

Teaching art became a career while Jameson was in Guanajuanto, Mexico in 1970 and continues today. He instructs artists in painting workshops he leads in Provence, France, Tuscany, Italy, San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, Blowing Rock, NC and Charleston, SC.

Jameson has the best of both Carolina worlds - the ocean and the mountains. While he calls the Charleston area home, he recently completed building a studio in Saluda, NC. He frequents the mountains of North Carolina, pursuing his innate ability to translate the mountain landscape onto canvas, whether a mountain range or the light streaming through tree branches onto a rushing stream. Jameson clearly conveys his intimate relationship with and understanding of nature. He engages all the senses of the observer in sharing his window onto the natural world.
