Cool art vibes saturate the air in every form and medium in the Lowcountry, one of the most beautiful natural canvases on earth. With all the surrounding beauty, it’s no wonder the Lowcountry is teeming with creative minds and talented artists. Some do it for fun. Some do it for a living. All do it to nourish their organic need to create. Welcome to our fourth edition of Lowcountry Originals, where you will meet seven dynamic artisans, all filled with creative energy and verve for their work. They have allowed us a peek into their creative worlds, revealed their fears and doubts, told us what inspires them and given us insight into their processes.
