TODAY‘S HOURS: 10am to 5pm

Jim Creal | The South Carolina Coastal Lithograph Project

October 1 – December 19, 2020

Jim Creal was born and raised in Spartanburg, SC. He studied philosophy at Washington and Lee University in Virginia (1975) and geology (1981) and fine arts (1992) at the University of Montana. Since 1992, Creal has dedicated himself to working as a professional artist using traditional fine art print processes, namely lithography. With The South Carolina Coastal Lithograph Project, Creal is “devoted to capturing the mood, spirit and rich diversity of South Carolina’s coastal habitats and some of their extraordinary indigenous creatures.” By exposing viewers to the wondrous beauty of the South Carolina coast’s rich and diverse habitats in a way that is visually engaging, Creal hopes to make aware the necessity of preserving the area’s natural resources,
biodiversity and incredible landscapes for generations to come. “What is here today may not be there for future generations to enjoy,” reminds Creal.
