Hamlet Fine Art Gallery in Charleston,
SC, Features Works by Kellie Jacobs
Hamlet Fine Art Gallery in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit, Nature's Tapestry, featuring a new collection of pastel paintings by Kellie Jacobs, on view from Oct. 3 - 31, 2008.
The exhibition depicts the rich, natural beauty
of the Lowcountry. Jacobs's cross-hatched pastel strokes
build a beautiful interwoven web of color.
For Jacobs, art has been a passion in her life ever since she
was a young child and observed her mother, Stephanie Shuler Hamlet,
painting in her art studio. This passion has inspired her
to become a professional pastel artist. Having traveled extensively,
living and rearing a family in Australia, has also enriched and
expanded her repertoire. After returning to Charleston, Jacobs
has been inspired to paint the Lowcountry.
"South Carolina's rich, natural beauty
gives me an endless supply of wonderful landscapes and seascapes
to paint. I am fascinated with the light at the end of the
day. In particular, when the evening sun is low and warm
touching the tops of the sand dunes and grasses of the marsh. I
feel like it is in my soul; it is something that I am compelled
to do," says Jacobs. Her intuitive paintings in pastels
of the Lowcountry marshes, creeks and ever-changing sky reveal
a point of view that is both fresh and familiar.
