July Issue 2000
Carroll Rivers at Summer House Gallery in Highlands, NC
Carroll
Rivers, a well-known artist from the coast of SC to the mountains
of NC, will open an exhibition of new works at The Summer House
Gallery in Highlands, NC, July 7-27, 2000.
Rivers paints mostly watercolors and gouaches, but has included
pastels and oils in this exhibition. She chose watercolors for
their portability when she started painting in 1967, but loves
them for the light and life that emanates from them. Her subjects
come from a real love of the outdoors and are focused on the NC
mountains in the summertime and the Charleston area the rest of
the year. Rivers' love of the outdoors landed her in the hospital
last winter with a broken leg that she sustained form a fall off
of a horse. "I nearly lost my mind not being able to paint
during the recuperation, but I have made up for lost time since
then. Paintings is a mental exercise and never loses its challenge
and its joy," Rivers said.
Rivers is a founding member of the Waterfront Gallery in Charleston,
SC, and teaches during the summer months in Cashiers, NC. Among
her successes are top awards in the Rocky Mountain National Watermedia
competition, the SC Watercolor Society and many other national
shows and exhibitions.
The next exhibition at Summer House Gallery features the southeastern regional favorite, Edward Rice, July 29 - Aug. 27, 2000.
