Perhaps they’re your neighbors, your friends and maybe even your co-workers, but they all have one thing in common: they’re very creative makers of art.
On May 7th, the thirty plus members of Artists of Sea Pines will be on hand to greet guests at their second annual art show of 2025, “Spotlight on Art.” The reception, to be held at the Sea Pines Community Center from 4:30-6:30pm, is free and open to the public. Stop by for refreshments and music by the Namedroppers.
New works on display and for sale feature pastels, watercolors, acrylics and oils, collage, printmaking and photography. For this show, member artists will donate ten percent of their sales to the Sea Pines Forest Preserve. For each show, a local charity is selected.
“Spotlight on Art” will feature “mini bios” next to each artist’s work informing guests on their backgrounds and inspiration for their works. It is hoped that a dialogue will develop with guests, as artists will be on hand to describe the process of translating reality into their own art form.
Featured “Spotlight Artist” Marci Tressel, an award winning photographer, will be showing her unique approach to creativity with a large display of her art. In addition to photography, Marci constructs Gullah mirrors which capture the primitive heart of the sea islands. She has lived on Hilton Head for over fifty years and is active in animal and birds of prey rescue and volunteers locally with her therapy dog Piper.
The gallery of the Artists of Sea Pines is open daily 9am-4pm in the Shops of Sea Pines shopping center, 71 Lighthouse Road (next to the Fitness Center). The show will run through October 24th.
