Carolina Galleries
in Charleston, SC, Features Works by Mickey Williams
Carolina Galleries in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Mickey Williams: Dusk to Dawn, Carolina Nocturnes, from May 1 - 30, 2009. The exhibition will feature Williams' recent exploration of the exotic world of the South Carolina nightscape.
Williams grew up on Isle of Palms, a barrier island just north of downtown Charleston, where he fell in love with the pristine environment of his childhood. The landscapes of the Lowcountry continue to inspire his work as he explores the Ace Basin and undulating, ever changing surrounding barrier islands. The Ashepoo, Combahee and Edisto rivers provide stunning natural beauty as they weave through the South Carolina Lowcountry that occupies the realm of Williams' compelling paintings.
His oil paintings depict the landscape of the eye and heart - pristine landscapes with an emotional quality achieved through a lifetime of studying the Lowcountry. Williams' work has won many acclamations and is highly collected, hanging in private and corporate collections across the southeast. He was selected as the featured artist for the Lowcountry American Heart Association's 2008 Heart Ball. He lives with his beautiful wife and their three children in Mount Pleasant, SC, situated between the city he loves and the island he grew up on.
Carolina Galleries offers a strong tradition of art of the Charleston Renaissance and contemporary Southern artwork featuring works by artists such as John Andrew Burmeister, Stephen Chesley, Craig Crawford, Julyan Davis, Gary Grier, Johnson Hagood, Chestee Harrington, Alfred Hutty, Tom McNickle, Margaret M. Peery, Alice Ravenel Huger Smith, Elizabeth O'Neill Verner, Evan Wilson and Stephen Scott Young.
