SOBA Gallery to feature Hilton Head artist Nancy Huson in August exhibit

The Society of Bluffton Artists will feature “Everyday Life on Hilton Head,” a solo exhibit by local artist Nancy Huson, as its August featured show.

The exhibit will be on display from Aug. 3rd through Aug. 30th at the SOBA Gallery in Old Town Bluffton. An opening reception, free and open to the public, is scheduled for 3 to 5 p.m. Aug. 7th. Guests will have the opportunity to meet Huson and enjoy light refreshments.

Huson’s oil and pastel paintings are inspired by her daily walks through Hilton Head Island’s natural landscapes, including beaches, gardens and marshes. Her work often depicts scenes such as blooming lilies or ibises in the Sea Pines Forest Preserve, rendered with vivid color and an emphasis on light and tranquility.

“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 has continued to refine her skills at studios in Kansas City and through workshops with plein air artists Carol Douglas and Greg Barnes.
