Artist doing other things...


Very few artists have ever been able to balance life & art with complete ease.

 The myth of the artist who swims all day in a sea of painting, drinking absinthe and huffing glue which results in large scale works of art that are sold before the paint dries, is consistently perpetuated by society.  Not simply American society but in every productive culture in which artists sell their work.

Artists are not one-dimensional creatures. We have many skills, and work hard to maintain our incessant hunger for paints, canvas, and other tools in which to perfect our creations. Artists are so diverse with multiple talents it is a shame to focus on one.

We, the South Carolina Artists group, see artists as more than simplistic one-dimensional creators and choose to share their talents with you!
