The Art League of Hilton Head presents "3Visions 3Voices," a joint exhibit featuring the works of LouAnne Barrett, Steve Edelstein and Kelly Richard, Sept 17 through Oct. 18 at the Art League Gallery inside the Arts Center of Coastal Carolina.

An opening reception will be held Wednesday, Sept. 18 from 5 to 7 p.m. Each artist is offering a gallery talk: Barrett on Sept. 27, 2:30-4 p.m., and Oct. 7, 10:30 am-noon; Edelstein on Sept. 25, 11 a.m.-noon; and Richard on Sept 20, 11 a.m.-noon. The show, reception and talks are free and open to the public.

Local artists LouAnne Barrett, Steve Edelstein and Kelly Richard use painting, photography and sculpture, respectively, to interpret the unique beauty of Lowcountry birds such as egrets, herons and pelicans, as well as other local wildlife.

Barrett, a lifelong artist, works with various media such as watercolor, acrylic, oil, pastel and multi-media to create her works. Prior to moving to the Lowcountry, she was an interior designer and taught design at a local college in southern California.  She taught art for 18 years in Hilton Head. Currently, she still enjoys teaching youth and adult classes at various local locations. Her work resides in several locations as far north as Maine and south as the tip of Florida and the West Coast.

Edelstein is a former lawyer and lifelong photographer who started focusing mainly on photographing birds after moving to Hilton Head from Atlanta. He has exhibited in Atlanta, California, Massachusetts, Florida and the Lowcountry.

Richard has spent her entire career in the arts, whether as an illustrator, graphic designer, gallery owner or sculptor. She operated her own graphic design firm in Washington, D.C., and owned several galleries in Maryland, including the nationally recognized American Craftworks Collection. While living in Annapolis, she developed her appreciation for local birds and wildlife. She retired to Hilton Head ten years ago, where she dedicates much of her time to sculpting. 

Art League Gallery open every day: Monday-Saturday 10am-4pm, Sunday 12-4pm and 90 minutes before every Arts Center performance.
