The Society of Bluffton Artists (SOBA) is proud to present “Everyday Life on Hilton Head,” a solo exhibit by Nancy Huson, as its August Featured Artist show. The exhibit will be on display from August 3rd through August 30th at the SOBA Gallery, located in Old Town Bluffton.
An opening reception — free and open to the public — will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, August 7th at the gallery, offering the community a chance to meet the artist and enjoy light refreshments.
Nancy Huson draws inspiration from her daily walks through Hilton Head’s natural landscapes — its beaches, gardens, and marshes. Her oil and pastel paintings radiate with vibrant color and the quiet joy of everyday island moments. Whether capturing the delicate bloom of a lily or an ibis mid-hunt at Sea Pines Forest Preserve, Huson’s work is a visual journal of the serene beauty that surrounds her.
“I try to capture the beauty of those experiences with vibrant colors as I see them in nature’s light,” Huson said. “It is my hope that I can visually communicate the happy and peaceful feelings of my experiences with the viewer.”
Huson studied fine art and printmaking at Colgate University, and further honed her craft at studios in Kansas City and through workshops with accomplished plein air artists Carol Douglas and Greg Barnes.
