The Kimono Silks show ends this week. Sunday the 24th is the last day. I appreciate every person that stopped in across from Saks at 214 King Street to view my latest work.
We are so lucky to have the Charleston community of creative talent and those who attend the events that enrich our lives.
Now my twitters and blog posts will cease, as I work on commissions for patrons, upcoming museum exhibits shown below, and batiks for my book on global warming with Orrin Pilkey will take precedent.
I presently have thousands of aerial photographs that inspire me, 75 batiks on silk, 100 monotypes on paper, and numerous giclée prints available in the studio.
Call for an appointment at 843 762 2594 or email me at info@maryedna.com if you want to visit. My studio will be a gallery all of Spoleto Festival USA May- June.
My assistant, Timothy Pakron, sets up my easel and brushes and helps me clean up my messes.
He is an oil painter and has been helping me learn how to use this classic medium.
Monotypes are also done with oil but they are painted on plexiglass and then printed on paper.
It is refreshing to work on a new surface such as canvas and to capture the changing tide and light.
I have enjoyed working on these intimate paintings en plain airin my own backyard.
Eventually, I will work on museum scale aerial landscapes with oil on canvas.
In the 60′s and 70′s I was a folk singer and traveled the South, mainly in my home state of NC, playing guitar on porches and various venues. My first coffee house was opened when I was in the 10th grade in a church basement in Fayetteville, NC. Singers from NY and DC would stop in to warm up in our little dimly lit den before their night club gigs. At East Carolina University
in Greenville, NC, I organized another coffee house for students and musicians. This Thursday is a reliving of that era on Kiawah.
