HUYLER HOUSE GALLERY

AS small as the private barrier island of Dewees Island may be, it is massively supportive of art and boasts an incredible gallery at the Huyler House community center, which first debuted a Featured Artist Series in October 1998. Over the past 25 years, the series has featured various artists whose work ranges from photography to performance art.

During the summer of 2023, the Huyler House Gallery will present exhibits from featured artists including Adam D. Cohen, Jim Darlington and Rebecca Herold.

Cohen, a Raleigh, North Carolina-based visual artist, primarily creates figurative work. “I paint interiors,” he says, “human interiors. I turn figures inside out, revealing their spirit as well as mine, and—hopefully, when you look at them—yours.”

Darlington lives on Sullivan’s Island, where he paints landscapes as well as portraits. “The faces of the Lowcountry have a special character, even more fascinating than the landscapes,” he says.

Herold is both an artist and the founder of Green Door Studio, known for her oil paintings of landscapes and botanical drawings. “I use art as a means of maintaining a balance between the peace found in nature and a naturally chaotic world,” she says
