Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, SC, Offers Exhibit Focused on Lowcountry Creatures The Coastal Discovery Museum on Hilton Head Island, SC, is presenting Life Cycles of the Lowcountry, on view in the Hilton Head Regional Healthcare Temporary Exhibit Gallery through Feb. 21, 2013. This exhibit illustrates the life cycles of thirteen of the Lowcountry’s most interesting and dramatic creatures. The exhibit incorporates photographs, preserved specimens, paintings, and other illustrative items to depict the steps in the life cycle of the different species. The selected species illustrated in the exhibit are: Loggerhead Sea Turtle, Horseshoe Crab, Bald Eagle, Blue Crab, Giant Swallowtail butterfly, Least tern, Spicebush Swallowtail Butterfly, Wood Stork, Great Egret, Eastern Screech Owl and Cobia fish. The exhibit combines pictures of the organisms as they grow into adults, some of them start as minuscule eggs and turn into big size adults like the case of the Cobia fish. Some go through dramatic changes through their life cycle, as they change from egg, to caterpillar and eventually to an adult butterfly. Some organisms have to molt their exoskeleton in order to grow, while some others go through enormous migrations as part of their life cycle. While some species take only two years to become an adult as the case of the Great Egret, others can take twenty five years, like the case of the Loggerhead Sea Turtle.

Picture This Gallery on Hilton Head Island, SC, Offers Works by Terry Richard Picture This Gallery on Hilton Head Island, SC, will present The Homecoming, featuring new works by Terry Richard, on view from Feb. 4 through Mar. 2, 2013. A reception will be held on Feb. 8, from 5-8pm. Richard has been a painter for 51 years, and is in major private and corporate collections across the country. He feels that after all these years, he has finally found the truth in his art that he has been searching for all these years and hopes the response to his new works will be as exciting to his viewers as it has been for him. Richard believes his realistic training and his advertising art made his abstracts possible. He explains that you must be a good draftsman in order to be a good abstract artist; “to see and/or to see differently” is important and he intends to work in both styles, never giving up either. Color, space and texture determine the character of each of Richard’s works. His colors are very expressive and appeal to the emotions. A variety of tools; a stylus, wide brushes, impasto and a specially produced sculpting material; all are used on some of the abstracts to achieve his ideas. All of Richard’s ways of expression are a condensation of sensations which constitute a finished painting. Abstract art could be defined as wholly dependent on the feelings of the artist who creates it. “It is true that non-objective art requires a bit more from the viewers and allows one ‘to see’ what appeals to their eye and emotions.” Richard’s art is as diversified as his life. He worked as an apprentice artist in an ad agency and a designer for the Amer- Work by Terry Richard ican Greeting Card Company. He was the art director of a major ad agency and spent time at Warner Brothers as an animator. He studied at Akron University, the University of Maryland and the Applied Arts Academy in Akron, OH. He served in the US Air Force and undercover in narcotics and organized crime. He earned an MBA in Business and a degree in commercial art and design. Richard was a Hilton Head Island resident for over 30 years and now resides in Charleston, SC. He is also the co-owner of Robison & Richard Fine Art Gallery on Broad Street in Charleston, SC.

Sease, from Bluffton, SC, is an illustrator and graphic designer who in recent years began to paint and exhibit at local galleries. She has been a Lowcountry resident most of her life and has used the natural beauty of the region and the people living and working in it as the main focus of her work. In speaking of her painting Sease states, “Settling in the South Carolina Lowcountry, after living all over the world as a child with my Air Force family, I have been surrounded by the natural beauty of this area most of my life. I have always loved to draw and studied art throughout college and after. I have been inspired by so many talented local painters and my husband Bill, whose photography I often use as reference for my art.” Sease exhibits at the Filling Station Art Gallery and the SOBA Gallery in Bluffton. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute provides not-for-credit, educational opportunities and experiences for adults age 50 and older at four Lowcountry locations including Bluffton, Beaufort, Hilton Head Island and Jasper County.

At the core of Cash Crop are 15 lifesize sculptures of shackled people placed in boat- or coffin-like structures, with diagrams of captive, warehoused humans in Trans-Atlantic slave ships carved in wood on the back. The sculptures represent, Hayes says, “the 15 million human beings kidnapped and transported by sea during the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.” Through these works and others in the exhibition, Durham, NC, native Hayes invites the viewer into an emotional, physical and psychological space to confront past, present and future. Closeup of work by Stephen Hayes “During a printmaking class, I came across an image of a slave ship diagram,” says Hayes, who in 2010 received an MFA from Savannah College of Art (SCAD) in Atlanta. “The slave ship images resemble a sweat shop. Sweat shops in Third World countries are today’s modern slave ships. The exhibition draws parallels between the slave trade and the Third World sweatshops of today. It’s about supply and demand, supply and demand. The exhibition asks: what is the next cash crop?” The 15 figure sculptures on exhibit are Works by Stephen Hayes 4.5 - 8 feet tall. They are made of cement, fabric, steel and fire-treated wood. In addition to the figure sculptures, the exhibition includes hand-made steel chains connecting the sculptures; prints and drawings; a large, wall-mounted sculpture of a ship; and scores of wooden, fire treated boxes, 11 x 21 inches in size, containing cement casts of ship shapes, that will be installed as a wall. “This is a powerful exhibition,” 701 CCA board chair and executive director Wim Roefs said. “It’s physically and emotionally an imposing installation of objects and two-dimensional work. The rawness with which the sculptural pieces are executed adds to the gut-wrenching impact of the exhibition. This work is obviously not meant to relate comfort but suffering and abuse.” Cash Crop, which originated in Hayes’ MFA thesis exhibition at SCAD, has traveled to the Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Art + Culture in Charlotte, NC, North Carolina Central University in Durham, Guilford College in Greensboro, NC, and Mason Murer Fine Art Gallery in Atlanta, one of that city’s largest art galleries. In 2006 Hayes received a BA in Visual Communication from North Carolina Central University, a historically black college. In 2007, he received a summer scholarship to take a ceramics class at The New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University in Alfred, NY, one of the country’s premier ceramics programs. Hayes’ art was included in Young Talent From Atlanta, an exhibition at Rush Galleries in New York City, and in exhibitions at Atlanta’s Emory University and Space One Eleven in Montgomery, AL.
