Hampton III Gallery in Taylors, SC, Hosts Works by 3 Dreskin Women
Through Sept. 27, 2003, the Hampton III Gallery in Taylors, SC, is presenting an exhibition of work by three generations of Dreskin women. The Nature of Dreskin will feature Jeanet Steckler Dreskin, resident of Greenville, SC, her daughter Jan Dreskin-Haig who resides in Dallas, TX, and granddaughter, Cybele Dreskin who lives in New York City, NY.
The exhibition will feature approximately 10 works from each artist. Jeanet has worked as a painter for over 60 years. "My paintings explore concepts of growth and life of environmental disarray. In my Williwaws series elements of wind and water, quiet and turbulence intermingle at various levels of perception to create a sense of uninhibited flow. In my Sere series, I explore concepts of birth, growth and life in a land of environmental erosion and destruction." Recently, her painting Self and one of her Sere series was obtained by Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University, NJ.
For Jan Dreskin-Haig: "Nature provides the impetus for my paintings and sculptures. It is not the strict visual recording of nature but the concept of interpreting growth and development of forms within nature that inspires me." Both Jeanet and Jan's work is included in the permanent collection of the National Smithsonian Museum of Art.
A photographer, Cybele Dreskin states: "I pay attention to peripheral spaces and the subtle details that would otherwise go unnoticed. I observe banal subject mater that reflects beauty in the unseen, overlooked corners of our everyday world." Cybele is currently teaching art at the Katherine Gibbs school in Manhattan.
Each artist has received her MFA degree at various universities around the country and has exhibited work in major metropolitan cities, but this exhibit brings the Dreskin women back to their Greenville roots. Jeanet has contributed to the Upstate's art culture as an instructor at Governor's School for the Arts and at the Greenville County Museum. Jan and Cybele's art education began in Greenville with Jan being a graduate of Wade Hampton High and Cybele having attended Mauldin High School and the Fine Arts Center.
