Stillwagon’s upcoming show uses a variety of acrylic paints with the main focus on bold colors that create an emotional response from the viewer.
“Since moving to South Carolina in 2015, I have been inspired to paint the colors of the Lowcountry – in both realistic as well as abstract modes,” she said.
Stillwagon is originally from South River, New Jersey. She has a bachelor’s degree in design, and she has worked as a freelance graphic designer for many years before pursuing her “first love” of painting. She has participated in numerous retail and trade fine art shows since 1976.
