From staff reports
The Beaufort Art Association has announced their Featured Artist from August 27 through October 29 is Wyn Foland.
Foland, a local impressionist painter, has been a working artist for 50 years. Her most recent exhibit showcases a range of styles expressing a lifetime of personal perceptions of the world. Gallery visitors will find connection to the ever-changing rhythms of people, places and seasons.
Her subjects include travels, gardening, seasons, Gullah culture, endless Lowcountry vistas, and perceptions of the world through free-flowing abstract designs. She is greatly inspired by vast cloud formations and landscapes of the Lowcountry.
“I will continue to experiment, problem-solve, take classes and travel to capture the world in a meaningful way,” Wyn said in a news release. “I wanted to be an artist in 3rd grade, and now in my 80th year, I have fulfilled that dream.”
Wyn has exhibited in local, national and international shows, produced a cable art program, taught classes and conducted art demonstrations. She is a member of many art societies and currently paints from her studio at Lady’s Island Marina.
Join Wyn Foland for an opening night reception from 5 to 8 p.m., Friday, Sept. 1, at the Gallery of the Beaufort Art Association, 913 Bay Street, downtown Beaufort, under the black awning.
