Bay St. Gallery in Beaufort, SC Celebrates Five Year Anniversary
Bay St. Gallery, in beautiful historic Beaufort, SC, will celebrate its fifth anniversary year with a show entitled, Celebration Time, featuring new paintings by Sandra Baggette and Lana Heffler and sculpture by Taylor Nicole Turner.
Sandra Baggette
Baggette presents the beginning of a new series of oil painting to celebrate the spirit of art in Monet's gardens. "Painting in Giverney at the peak of the water lily season has inspired my art profoundly," says Baggette. This collection of paintings seeks to capture her personal excitement on viewing the colorful patterned reflections of these famous lily ponds.
Hefner's oils and pastels celebrate the natural beauty of the Lowcountry. Many of the works focus on skies.
Lana
Hefner
"Lowcountry South Carolina literally is, 'big sky country,' says Hefner. "Because we are an area made up of thousands of islands, there are wonderful opportunities to see expansive views everywhere. Glorious skies and their reflections on the water echo their beauty. It's exciting material that inspires exploration in areas of color, design and abstraction."
Taylor Nicole Turner's expressive Lowcountry figures deal with the people and traditions of the area. She captures the spirit of the personalities and the richness of the moment through sensitive handling of her medium. The pieces are one-of-a-kind fired clay and are finished with a bronze-like painted patina.
