TODAY‘S HOURS: 1pm to 5pm

Will Oakes

Based in Myrtle Beach, SC, I have been immersed in painting since childhood, drawing early inspiration from my father’s many art projects. My work primarily involves acrylic, complemented by drawing techniques that I often blend or distribute onto the canvas, creating layered and textured pieces. Through this unique combination of mediums, I strive to capture scenes and emotions that speak to viewers on a personal level. My art is both a journey and a tribute to the creative spark my father inspired in me, translating that lifelong passion into each piece.
