SUMMARY:Fanfare:  Enid Williams
DESCRIPTION:Fanfare is a celebration of Enid Williams’ paintings from 2024 and 2025\, as well as a brief look at the evolution of her work over the last 10 years. A fanfare in music is a quick flourish and Williams’ paintings do have all the color and joy expected in a flourish. They invite a rush of pleasure but also encourage careful\, slow appreciation. She states\, “My work is informed by a long standing interest in the use of elliptical and semi-circular shapes; an intersection of color shift and linear repetition. Within this framework\, notable changes in format and scale have recently culminated in more expansive and energized imagery. While using a limited process\, I extract a wide range of possibilities\, including variation in spatial complexity and optical occurrence. Preserving a fluid paint quality that increases the speed and scale of my mark is also carefully considered as a way to reveal initial layering and a mostly visible record of my approach. The result is an interplay between larger and smaller elements and between simpler and more complex passages\, providing a window back into the work’s progression.” \nEnid\, through exploration across more than two decades\, has built a vocabulary of elliptical semicircular strokes. Her repetition of form gives her the freedom to construct a narrative using a finely tuned sense of color to make marks of almost unlimited variations of density. Her narrative is not bound by a traditional three-part outline but is a stop-action preservation of the rhythmic flow of her signature shape across time. Her paintings offer a contained\, controlled\, and satisfying experience of intentional mark making. Each form visually records the movement of her hand as each layer of marks records the evolution of the painting\, culminating in a complex meditation on time and movement. \nEnid Williams received her M.F.A. in painting from Kent State University and her B.A. in studio art from the University of Toledo. In 2011\, Enid was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant. Her work is included in public and private collections including the Johnson Collection in South Carolina\, the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio\, the Contemporary Carolina Collection at the Medical University of South Carolina\, and the Cleveland Clinic Foundation in Ohio. She has exhibited at the Carnegie Museum of Art in Pennsylvania\, the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio\, the State Museum of South Carolina\, and the Greenville County Museum of Art\, in South Carolina. She has taught design\, drawing\, painting\, and printmaking at Kent State University\, Youngstown State University\, The University of Akron\, and most recently at Greenville Technical College. After 10 years\, she has recently retired from full-time teaching at Greenville Tech. She resides in Greenville\, SC\, and is represented by Hampton III Gallery in Taylors\, SC. For more information\, visit\, www.enidwilliams.net. \nFanfare is on view August 25 through September 26 in Greenville Technical College’s Benson Campus Galleries\, 2522 Locust Hill Road\, Monday – Thursday\, 9am – 7pm and Friday\, 9am – 2pm. The public is welcome. Visit www.gvltec.edu/dva for more information or call Pat Owens\, Gallery Assistant at 864 250-3051 or email Fleming Markel\, Gallery Director at fleming.markel@gvltec.edu.

SUMMARY:Nature's Geometry: Bethany Mabee and Shannon Woodford
DESCRIPTION:Art & Light Gallery is happy to present “Nature’s Geometry”\, a two-person exhibition of work by Bethany Mabee (Peoria\, I.L.) and Shannon Woodford (Waxhaw\, N.C.) launching on the Art & Light website and in the gallery at 10:00 AM (EST) on Tuesday\, September 2 with an opening reception on Friday\, September 5 from 6:00 – 8:00 PM. Nature’s Geometry finds commonality\, in two very distinctive painting practices\, in the form of color\, composition\, line and layering. \nShannon Woodford creates multilayered\, expressionistic\, dramatic snapshots of nature. Working largely in florals\, Shannon uses the deceptively everyday nature of her subject matter to explore the hidden depths of their unexpected appeal. She likes exploring as many mediums as possible\, and has worked extensively with watercolors\, acrylics\, and encaustics. Her current focus is in oil paint and mixed-media on canvas. Shannon employs large brush strokes and repeated marks to convey her exploration of the natural world. She loves to stretch her artistic capabilities with the use of a bold color-story\, the striking natural juxtaposition of foliage hues\, and lush multitextured layers. Shannon draws inspiration from vistas of imperfect beauty searching out under-sung flowers (or even weeds) to coax forth their raw\, wild charm. \nBethany Mabee is an abstract painter and textile designer who has spent over 20 years immersed in the interior design industry while simultaneously cultivating her painting and studio practice. Her experiences in interior design serve as pivotal stepping stones in her development of a textile line and remain a constant source of inspiration in her studio work. Each step in Bethany’s process refuels a future process\, becoming a symbol of continuous and cyclical expansion. Her work serves as a moving meditation that explores improvisation through interactions with color and material. Completed paintings take on new life through the methodical process of pattern creation for fabric and wallpaper. This pattern creation becomes an extended exploration of contrast by transforming painting improvisation into intentional digital design.

SUMMARY:Reflections of Time- Paintings by Katherine Irvin at the nARThex gallery
DESCRIPTION:Reflections of Time is a collection of work that mirrors the vast landscapes of the ever-changing seasons. These paintings visually express the joy\, light\, and warmth offered through nature\, kinship\, and peacefulness. Also marked are the chapters of darkness\, loss\, and grief that dapple the narrative\, adding depth and growth to my work. Within the ebb and flow of routine\, ritual\, and many shades of emotion\, these paintings give shape and form to the passage of invisible time.

SUMMARY:Jazz Underground - Tish Oney Quartet presents Changes: Jazz Seasons
DESCRIPTION:The Greenville Jazz Collective Jazz Underground series hosts The Tish Oney quartet performing songs of the four seasons drawing from the Great American Songbook\, modern jazz composers\, and other great tunes. \nFrom time immemorial until today\, songs reflecting the seasons have been part of our musical culture. Vivaldi is perhaps the first to reflect all four seasons together in a single musical offering. Tish will update this tradition with a singular program of music reflecting all four seasons\, from a variety of great composers and lyricists\, played by some of the best local jazz professionals in town. \nDr. Oney is not only a singer with serious jazz credentials\, she is also a composer\, arranger\, author\, and educator (just check out her credits!). And she has assembled a serious band including Joe Davidian on keys\, Bob Songster on bass\, and Justin Watt on drums that is equally conversant in the musical traditions in this program of music. \nSome of the composers to be featured in the program range from Van Heusen\, Lerner & Loewe\, and Harry Warren (from the Great American Songbook) to jazz musicians like Freddie Hubbard and Abbey Lincoln. So the music will be top shelf! \nThey’ll be performing in our venue\, the Coffee Underground Theater\, which is an intimate listening room which also serves homemade desserts\, delicious coffee from beans roasted on premises\, and an assortment of teas\, wine\, and cocktails.

SUMMARY:SHELLEY CADE | People Are Strange
DESCRIPTION:The Metropolitan Arts Council is proud to present “People Are Strange”\, a solo exhibition by Greenville artist\, Shelley Cade. Opening Reception September 12th\, 6-8pm. Exhibition runs September 12th – October 17th. \n📍 Metropolitan Arts Council | 16 Augusta Street\, Greenville\, SC\n📅Opening reception: September 12\, 6 – 8 PM\n🆓 Free \nWe invite you to meet Cade’s “strangers”. These distinctive portraits and sculptures all have a story to tell within their expressive lines and atmospheric colors. \nAs Cade shares:\n“My approach to expressing people with a paintbrush often gets weird. But the scratchy layers of paint\, pencil marks\, charcoal smudges and adulterated features — I’ve found — only enhance the story telling. Each of us comes into the world a blank canvas\, and it’s the brush marks of experience which tell our stories and shape who we are.”
