Karpeles Museum in Charleston, SC, Offers Works by Mari Lyons and Lois Walker

From Mar. 5 - 29, 2002, the Karpeles Manuscript Museum in Charleston, SC, will host watercolor works by Mari Lyons and narrative paintings by Lois Walker.

Mari Lyons

Lyons explores the vast and inspiring outdoor space of Montana. Working from nature, she improvises, with an insistence that she is never academic in the creation of these watercolor images. Creating from the idea that there is a constantly evolving view of reality and that form is not fixed but fleeting and ephemeral, she strives to capture the unique poetry and intimacy of the flora, rivers and mountains.

Lois Walker

Lois Walker employs vivid colors and animated brush strokes in her narrative paintings. Primarily figurative and often from a primitive perspective, she utilizes many different materials which put forward a more textured and mysterious result. The work suggests psychological and interpersonal investigations as well as an aesthetic experience with color, line and energy.
