“When I created Art Mag eight years ago, it was my intention to simply promote the amazing local artists that were all over Charleston. It was clear that there wasn’t anything specifically dedicated to them and they certainly deserved it. Since then, the art community here has grown exponentially�there are more galleries and successful individual artists here than ever before, the culinary arts have practically taken over the city with internationally acclaimed yumminess, the performing artists are oh-so-deserving of the spotlights they are in, the wearable artists have strutted forward with fierceness and grace, and the writers and poets have carved their names into our hearts. This city is alive because of these creative people who have lovingly crafted Charleston into the unique, interesting, beautiful, charming place that it is.� I never doubted you, Charleston, and I’m so proud of you.
As I walk down a completely new path of life, I must say, I’ve learned so much from you all. You’ve followed your passions. You’ve been true to your deepest desires.� You’ve inspired me to do the same!� Right now, I am excited to focus on finishing my graduate degree, as well as spending time pursuing my own personal creative passions.” |
