The South Carolina
Maritime Museum has acquired these two works for their
permanent collection: Charleston Harbor at Castle Pinckney, 20x24 (left) and Gale Near Fort Sumter 10x16 (right). I visited these sites over a dozen times by boat, including beaching the boat on the island Shutes Folly, to walk around the Castle before completing these paintings. Having been used as a Civil War prison, I found it interesting from a thematic standpoint, that it has not been preserved and is being overtaken by trees. The Charleston skyline and its church steeples can be seen in the background. The Fort Sumter piece represents the turbulence of war, with the birds representing freedom. The flag has been lowered from its staff due to the gale force winds.

I was very
happy to have this piece selected for the Roper St. Francis
Hospital "Art of Healing" program. Managed by the Gibbes Museum of Art, the program allows patients to select an original oil painting from the portfolio to be hung in their hospital room. I am told the goal of the program is to harness the healing power of art by giving patients something pleasing to look at in their rooms during rehabilitation from severe injuries or extensive surgeries. |
