Artist of the month

Christine Crosby, our Artist of the Month, regarding her new artwork: 

“I've been hard at “work” exploring the Lowcountry, looking to find unspoiled vistas to become the subjects of my recent paintings. The countless hours of driving, hiking and paddling around coastal Carolina looking for “that feeling” which is so predominant in my work has resulted in this new body of work called “Serenity”.

The oil paintings are filled with light, most are serene, some are a bit moody, but each one holds a “little piece of my heart”.

I hope that you can get a bit of “that feeling” too as you view my newest pieces. Let your mind wander, your blood pressure drop and embrace the wonderful calm as you escape from the everday hustle and bustle into my world.Thank you.”
