This exhibition of paintings by South Carolina-born artist Julia Elizabeth Tolbert (1911-1978) features works that are reflective of what life was like for a female artist in the early twentieth-century. Curated by student Julie Woodson, the exhibition is a culmination of her Gender Studies capstone and serves in conjunction with her year-long Art History honors research, which centered on the artist herself. 

The original mission of The South Carolina Coastal Lithograph Project was to create a lasting body of lithographic work devoted to capturing the mood, spirit and rich diversity of South Carolina's coastal habitats and some of their extraordinary indigenous creatures. In this exhibit, Jim Creal augments the original project to include not only the hand produced original lithographs as originally envisioned but also adds his documentary site/habitat photographs to flush out telling the visual story of our coast’s magnificent and increasingly endangered ecosystem.  This project is his way of sharing with audiences the visual story and magnificent beauty of South Carolina’s coastal habitats, their combined significance as a vital ecosystem under stress and their value as a national treasure that needs to be preserved for future generations.
