About the Event

Renowned South Carolina watercolorist Mary Whyte will be discussing her recent work, her techniques and approaches, alongside her new acclaimed book: “An artist’s life”.

In her book for art makers at any stage, Whyte guides the reader through the common obstacles of self doubt and imperfection. Through habit-building and exercises, she provides a transformative timeless lesson that gives artists the extra push they need. Learn to work with limited resources, find inspiration in unexpected places, and make art an integral part of your daily life.
