Artist Lindsay Radford Wiggins’ show, Stardust, will be featured at the hallway gallery at 701 Whaley Street in Columbia July 10 – August 27.<\/p>\n
The public is invited to view the artwork and meet the artist, as well as buy original works and prints during a reception on July 10 from 6–8 pm.<\/p>\n
Stardust features a series of oil and watercolor paintings that embody a spiritual authenticity and Wiggins’ signature whimsical flair. Influenced by German expressionism and women surrealists, the works speak of the artist’s personal experiences, connections, and emotions, making each piece a diary-like entry of celestial swirls. The playful imagery and repetition of symbols invite the viewer to call upon their own life experiences and create their own personal dialog.<\/p>\n
The exhibition offers an opportunity to see the breadth and depth of Wiggins’ work – in addition to larger canvases and watercolors, a series of her smaller paintings will also be on view.<\/p>\n
“The process of painting many small works in one sitting helps with meditative flow and opens me to being more playful with imagery,” Wiggins said.<\/p>\n
Born and raised in Alabama where she attended the Booker T. Washington Magnet Art School, Wiggins says that the experience helped shape her as a young artist. Now living in Columbia, where she completed her BA in Studio Art at Columbia College, Wiggins said, “Art, for me, is a therapeutic way of moving what is inside me into a physical form. My hope is that my work uplifts, inspires, and empowers others to seek their own voice.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
