ALLISON CHAMBERS
ORIGINALLY from Wilmington, North Carolina, Allison Chambers is an impressionist painter who refers to herself as a Carolina artist. She calls both Charlotte and Charleston home and receives her inspiration from the region’s landscapes; the Lowcountry’s marshlands particularly capture her eye. This is easy to see in her paintings, which exhibit elegant brushstrokes that play […]
HILARIE LAMBERT AND ELEANOR PARKER

Instead of using a canvas and oils, he does something totally unique to create his masterpieces—he cuts cotton paper into thousands of intricate little pieces that are used to build incredibly detailed renderings of homes, churches, buildings and other architectural scenes of the Lowcountry. Artistic […]
FULL CIRCLE
ARTIST AND GALLERY OWNER KAREN HEWITT HAGAN has a philosophy: You don’t have to know exactly where you’re going; say “yes” to new opportunities, and that will lead you to the next right thing. When the pandemic first reached Charleston in the spring of 2020, Hagan and her team, Allison Hull and Natalie Meredith, felt […]
PAINT LIKE A GIRL
IT’S A MONDAY MORNING, and I am about to Zoom with artist Fer (pronounced “fair”) Caggiano. I am excited about this call. Caggiano is not only talented, but she also makes art from a solid center of joy and purposefully uses her work to make the world a better place. At the bitter end of […]
