Black River Cypress PreserveJune 17th, 2021

"On June 10 - 12, 2021, John (the Dr. Babe) and I travelled 90 minutes outside of Charleston to the Black River Cypress Preserve. Celie Dailey, who wrote The Batik Art of Mary Edna Fraser and managed my studio for 15 years, is the botanist there. We rode bikes 2.5 miles to the kayak landing, then had a gorgeous experience visiting a millennial cypress in its swampy home..."

BIG Thank You to Cori McIntyre for hosting & being Mary Edna's dutiful "art sherpa" during a cold February visit to Dewees Island due north of Charleston, SC.

Save the Creek: New OilsMay 28th, 2020

Mary Edna has been quite busy during isolation: from protesting development on the property across from the dock on James Island Creek (so far, successfully) to painting her pristine natural views on large-scale canvases and in triptych.

“Charleston Charted” InstallationMay 14th, 2020

On May 6th, Mary Edna and studio crew went to the new Ingevity headquarters near Park Circle in North Charleston to supervise the (socially distant) installation of "Charleston Charted" on the 40' x 15' stairwell wall.

“Charleston Charted” CommissionApril 23rd, 2020

In 2019, Mary Edna was commissioned by Ingevity, a sustainable company, to design artwork for the 3-story stairwell in their new headquarters. She recently completed "Charleston Charted" a 171" x 55" batik on silk depicting the peninsula and surrounding scapes in bright colors to coordinate with interior design plans by local firm LS3P. Everyone is delighted with the result, and now we eagerly await an enlarged reprint which will span 12 canvases (3 columns of 4 each) to cover the 40' x 15' wall. Stay tuned for more details on the installation happening in the next couple of weeks!
