The Photography Club of Beaufort has announced the winners of the semi-annual Spring Competition, held Monday night, March 10th.  Judging the event were Beaufort Gazette photographer F. Brian Ferguson;  Ben Ham, nationally acclaimed large-format landscape photographer and Eric Horan, well-known outstanding nature photographer.    Prints were judged using the criteria of superb technical quality, composition and interest.  During the competition, judges shared their expertise and offered constructive critiques to photos to help the photographers improve their skills. 

Intarsia is a rare art form experts believe dates back to the 13th century. Jim Mallet’s obsession with it dates back about 13 years.

Bill Mead wasn’t always a painter of promiscuous produce. A navy brat who landed in the Lowcountry in 1969, Mead, a self-proclaimed “old hippie,” started drawing as a teenager, and for years experimented with dark, disturbing images he calls “erotic surrealism.”

Kathy Crowther’s watercolors are crisp with the colors of local beaky critters and proud with botanical details of the Lowcountry. Her new paintings will be on display at the Charles Street Gallery from Saturday, April 26th through May 17, with a reception with the artist on Saturday, April 26th from 5:30 to 9pm.
