Art + Design @ The Gibbes! The Art of Design Luncheon Presented by the Women's Council featured speaker Vern Yip.

We use our cameras periodically to shine light on non-profits and programs that make our hearts happy. Yes, in this case there is a slight bias. We are extra invested as our horse, Harmony, is one of the four-legged team members!

The Gibbes Museum is more than a building, and the Gibbes renovation was more than a facelift. With the ‘Art is the Reason’ theme at the core, the museum’s team created spaces within the space.

“Seeing your picture made me feel better.” A simple “Thank you” from a guest that selected and enjoyed James’ landscape art while recouping at Roper St Francis Hospital.

The 2016 Art of Design, hosted by the Gibbes Museum's Women's Council, provided a wealth of information and sparkle with jewelry historian and designer, Andrew Prince. His tales shared not only the history of the jewelry itself but also the significance of jewelry within art.

The  2015 Art of Design luncheon brought in Hamish Bowles, International Editor at Large for Vogue Magazine!

How does MCG give? One way is by sharing images. Images that hopefully bring life and light to some of the good work being done to feed and house locals in need, promote wellness with the aid of horses and keep our local waterways and ocean flourishing.

One of the perks of photographing events for our local Gibbes museum is meeting the artists and witnessing them sharing their stories and gifts. John Westmark’s ‘Double Bind Series’ encompass’ the whole feminine spirit; bold, bright, movement, stillness, grace and strength. The pieces are large with up close surprises.
