3Visions 3Voices Lowcountry Art by LouAnne Barrett, Steve Edelstein, and Kelly Richard

3Visions 3Voices at Art League this Fall

Joint exhibit features the works of LouAnne Barrett, Steve Edelstein, and Kelly Richard

Local artists LouAnne Barrett, Steve Edelstein, and Kelly Richard use painting, photography, and sculpture, respectively, to interpret the unique beauty of Low Country birds such as egrets, herons, and pelicans, as well as other local wildlife.

Barrett, a lifelong artist, works with various media such as watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel, and multi-media to create her works.  Prior to moving to the Low Country, she was an Interior Designer and taught design at the local college in southern California.  She taught Art for 18 years in Hilton Head. Currently, she still enjoys teaching youth and adult classes at various local locations.  Her work resides in several locations as far north as Maine and south as the tip of Florida and the West Coast.

Edelstein is a former lawyer and lifelong photographer who started focusing mainly on photographing birds after moving to Hilton Head from Atlanta. He has exhibited in Atlanta, California, Massachusetts, Florida, and the Lowcountry.

Richard has spent her entire career in the arts, whether as an illustrator, graphic designer, gallery owner, or sculptor. She operated her own graphic design firm in Washington, DC, and owned several galleries in Maryland, including the nationally recognized American Craftworks Collection. While living in Annapolis, she developed her appreciation for local birds and wildlife. She retired to Hilton Head ten years ago, where she dedicates much of her time to sculpting.
