City of North Charleston continued from Page 27 Work by Michelle Peterlin ceived a Bachelor of Studio Arts in Painting from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1990. While in college, she studied under the tutelage of John Grillo, who is considered the Father of American Expressionism. Peterlin has worked as a professional artist for over 20 years, exhibiting, curating, and managing gallery spaces mainly throughout the Northeast United States. Recent awards for her work include first place in the National Appalachian Fine Arts Center’s Annual National Competition (Blue Ridge, GA), an Award of Excellence from Manhattan Arts International’s The Healing Power of Art Exhibition (Manhattan, NY), and an International Recognition Award for a Judeo Christian Exhibit presented at the Up Stream People Gallery at the University of Nebraska. Nostalgia, wistful longing, fascination, absence, and a sense of home are all represented in Packed Up, an exhibition of woodcuts by Jennifer Stoneking-Stewart. Her collection of images of distorted homes take inspiration from numerous experiences with the past and present, as well as the landscape of the rural southeast with its dilapidated, abandoned relics of lives past. Nature reclaiming a place and homes returning to nature, their elements breaking down into dirt and dust, fill the empty landscape. Voided dark interiors hold little information of the former inhabitants. Flat wallpaper patterns become the vines and trees that now call the structure home. Piles of objects that are indistinguishable construct a burial mound for lives and times past. Chimneys rise like tombstones from the landscape. “My work is a response to the surrounding environment, drawing inspiration from the Appalachian landscape and rapidly occurring changes, such as progression of Atrium Art Gallery in Charleston, SC, will present the exhibit Working Charleston Plantations, featuring photographic and mixed media works by Karen Vournakis, on view from Dec. 7 through Feb. 28, 2013. A reception will be held on Dec. 7, from 5-8pm. Vournakis’ painterly/photographic portfolio reflects her interest in the history of the working venues of artisans who were the heart of many Lowcountry plantations. She has focused on the stableyards at Middleton Place, a center of activities where artisans made pottery, weaved cloth, and made wagon wheels, etc. All activities critical to the success of the plantation. Vournakis arrived in Charleston in 1995 and opened the Karen Vournakis Studio/ Gallery on lower King Street, which she operated for eight years. She has been an active member of the Charleston arts community for seventeen years.

I use my process and work as a way to control these occurrences, even if only temporarily.” Originally from Knoxville, TN, Stoneking-Stewart received a Bachelor of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmaking from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, in 2005, and her Master of Fine Arts with an emphasis in Printmaking from Clemson University in 2007. She is currently the Registrar & Exhibitions Coordinator for the Ewing Gallery of Art & Architecture at The University of Tennessee, Knoxville.

“Remove” SCALA Surrealist Painter www.peterscala.com Studio: 843-225-3313 Nina Liu and Friends in Charleston, SC, Offers Works by Katrina Schmidt-Rinke Nina Liu and Friends in Charleston, SC, celebrates the holiday season with an exhibition of Katrina Schmidt-Rinke’s work entitled Elemental: Lowcountry Landscapes. The exhibition will be on view from Dec. 1 - 31, 2012. A reception will be held on Dec. 7, from 5-7pm. Schmidt-Rinke is a Canadian who spent time in her native country as well as in the United States during her youth. She earned her BFA and MFA at the Savannah College of Art and Design and has exhibited her work at galleries in the Carolinas (including Nina Liu and Friends), Georgia, and Connecticut since completing her formal education. Some of the watercolors in the exhibition are not much larger than a postage stamp, but they have a grandeur about them that exceeds their size. Whether she works in a large or small scale, Schmidt-Rinke deftly captures the changing appearance of the marsh. Working on-site throughout the area, Schmidt-Rinke creates beautiful watercolors that focus on the Lowcountry’s marshes and the interaction between their grasses, water and the sky above them. Her watercolors have a timeless quality that arises both from the ease with which she manipu- Work by Katrina Schmidt-Rinke, photo by Paul Holmes lates her medium and the manner in which she edits her subject. By subtly abstracting the landscape, she renders its essence beautifully. Gallery owner Nina Liu refers to the watercolors in Elemental: Lowcountry Landscapes as “abstracted marshscapes that produce a feeling of well-being in me.” For further information check our SC Commercial Gallery listings or call the gallery at 843/722-2724.

Zimmerman & Exclusive Dealer for the Gaillard Plantation Prints in the oldest building in Charleston, SC at 17 Chalmers St (843) 723-3608 • Mon-Sat 10-5 http://pinkhousegallery.tripod.com/ Work by Mickey Williams In beholding one of his landscapes, with its ever-present layering of shadows and infused atmospheric gradations, one immediately senses his artistic identity. Williams is a self-taught artist who learned his craft from studying art in books and museums. His work is inspired by the spiritual and romantic beauty of the lowcountry that he fell in love with as a child. Williams says, “I have always felt a deep emotional and spiritual bond with nature and I feel blessed to live and work in an area that is so inspiring to the mind and soul.” Those intangible yet soulful communications taking place on the canvas’ surface convey the experiential forces that play an even greater effect than academic guidance.
