FOR THE BEAUTY OF THE EARTH
Look at any of Dale Terbush’s vibrant landscapes and your brain will automatically start searching for an anthem or a hymn as background music. In his work—almost always skyscapes—dramatic white clouds roil against colorful skies. The landscape beneath—mountains, canyons, marshes, oceans and river glens—are majestic in their own right but serve as visual anchors to […]
CAPTURING THE MOOD OF THE MOMENT
If the artist’s task is not so much to reflect the visible as to make visible, then impressionist painter Helli Luck achieves precisely that, revealing every nuance of what she sees and feels when immersed in a landscape, features that may be hidden from the casual eye. Born in London, the Pawleys Island resident works […]
In the Quiet Hours
As an educator, Jeanne O’Neal always dabbled in art, ceramics and watercolors. Then, eight years ago, O’Neal had surgery on her vocal cords, which meant she couldn’t talk for two weeks. Her mom took her two daughters for a few days, so the artist had time to enjoy the incredible nature around her home in Debordieu, […]
CAREFULLY CURATED
When a local family decided to build their dream home, they knew exactly what they wanted: an environmentally friendly, tech-savvy, modern house with organic materials, abundant natural light and large-format windows to frame the incredible views. They also wanted a minimalist aesthetic and multiple spaces for their teenagers and friends to hang out. Built by […]
NO BOUNDARIES
There is something very special about visualizing your dream home and having it come to fruition. This was the case for a Daniel Island couple who wanted to build their ideal family home on scenic Beresford Creek. They enjoyed the style and aesthetic of a previous Novella Homes build, so they decided to trust the […]
BUON APPETITO
In the city that hosts a world-class arts festival like Spoleto Festival USA, it makes sense that a dining destination such as Sorelle would find a home. Charleston’s old-world charm won the heart of Gian Carlo Menotti, founder of the original Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto, Italy, clinching his search for an American counterpart. […]
BETSY JONES MCDONALD
CHARLESTON artist Betsy Jones McDonald began her artistic training as a teen with watercolorist Geri Davis of Columbus, Georgia. She went on to study fine art at Columbus State University, and her eye for design was later put to work as a design manager during her years working in visual merchandising. After moving to Columbia, […]
ISLAND ENERGY
Unspoiled beaches sprinkled with seashells, wispy grasses swaying with the wind in the marshland, graceful egrets flying overhead—Dewees Island is just a 20-minute ferry ride from Charleston but a million miles from the bustle of city life. The private barrier island is known for its remoteness—there are only 150 lots available on the island—but there’s […]
ABOVE AND BEYOND
Stono construction is a boutique builder that takes on just a handful of projects per year, ranging from custom homes to extensive home additions and historic renovations. In a booming market where they could get away with doing less, co-owners John Goodwin and Dan Logan are determined to keep their business customer-focused and their homes […]
A DEEPER MEANING
Artist Emily Whiting chokes up when she talks about Jasper Francis Cropsey’s painting The Spirit of War. Painted in the late 1800s, it’s a detailed, moody work depicting war’s fear and hopelessness. That she saw it more than three decades ago doesn’t matter; Whiting is so moved by allegorical art—works in which details and symbolism […]
