Fletcher

W IL LI A M S III Williams conceived an astounding exhibit, Souvenir, in 2015 after the tragic events at Mother Emanuel AME. Conceptual and raw, Williams’ work has brought Charleston into to the 21st century and out of our safe zone. “Fletcher has a diverse palate,” explains Greg Colleton of Redux Contemporary Art Center. “He creates in various directions, whether it being sculpture, found objects, oil paints, candy paint, pen & ink, or swing sets. Yet he still balances and delivers his exceptional quality. He tackles the issues that are uncomfortable to approach in everyday situations. He isn’t afraid to take a stance on what he believes or worry about the status quo.”

Hirona

M ATSUDA Matsuda is a petite powerhouse. She manages the art supply store Artist & Craftsman by day and constructs her intricate works of art by night. A cross between sculpture and assemblage, Matsuda’s oeuvre brings complex sophistication to the gallery scene. For the past 10 years she has been an active catalyst for local artists, and just mentioning her name forges connections in Charleston’s creative web. “This ever-changing group [of artists living in Charleston] propels me and each other to try more, make more, show more,” Matsuda explains. Being a visionary and an advocate, Matsuda also pushes for a better tomorrow. “In my dreams, I envision a more united, creative Charleston. One that is in sync with each other, supports each other, and collaborates to bring the highest level of artistic ideas to our community.”

Jill

HOOPER As the youngest living artist collected by the Gibbes Museum of Art, Hooper gives classical realism new life. In order to round out Charleston’s art scene, it’s important that exterior influences are celebrated. “Taking influence from the old masters, [Hooper’s] paintings are technically perfect and hauntingly beautiful,” says Meyer Vogl Gallery director Katie Geer. “Jill’s work reminds us how thrilling it is to view art created by an extraordinary talent.” Pam Wall, the Gibbes’ curator of exhibitions, agrees. “Her very presence in Charleston pushes other artists to take their work to the next level. And beyond that, Jill is a generous soul who is deeply involved with a number of organizations in the Charleston community, including the young patrons group of the Gibbes, Society 1858.”

Duckworth is a dynamic artist who’s best known for his iconic, abstracted landscape photography. His artistry includes work in video, sound, light, and installation. Bringing experiential art to the masses, Duckworth’s 2014 AWAKE exhibition at the City Gallery at Waterfront Park turned heads at a time when technology had begun altering the way we look at art. His position on environmental and social change has given way to education being a main component of his exhibitions. Duckworth continues to surprise and delight through his multi-layered productions and unique ideas.

Jonathan

GR EEN Green’s ability to bring our past and present together, gracefully, is a gift. Spoleto Festival USA director Nigel Redden explains, “His artistic influence has not only enriched [the festival]—as a poster artist in 2004 and 2016 and visual designer for our 2016 production of Porgy and Bess—but his passion and commitment to preserving and sharing Gullah history is an invaluable contribution to the city. The optimism and joy of his landscapes and portraits convey a profoundly beautiful vision of the Lowcountry.” Green took his talents to the streets during a 2016 public art project, applying West African motifs to historical buildings throughout the city.

Mary

WHYTE Whyte manages to turn an everyday scene into a moment that will take your breath away. Celebrating the ties that bind humanity, Whyte brings the colors of life to watercolor paper. We know her as a local treasure with international acclaim, but what’s most important to Whyte is the reach of her profession. “Mary Whyte’s multi-faceted vision has profoundly impacted the arts community through ardent advocacy for the healing arts, bringing visiting art collectors to Charleston, and her passion in support of South Carolina Public School art education,” says art agent Sharon Crawford. And the best part, “Whyte continues to evolve as an artist and a teacher.”

Robert

L A NGE By opening Robert Lange Studios over a decade ago, Lange brought serious contemporary realism to the Lowcountry on a large scale. He cultivates an inviting environment within his gallery, making RLS a home to a rotating artist residency program where patrons are able to watch masterful pieces of art come to life. When The Vendue reopened its doors as Charleston’s Art Hotel, Lange and his wife Megan were recruited to curate the space within, giving international and emerging artists the opportunity to exhibit together. As a connector and advocate, he brings inspiration to a new generation of art entrepreneurs.

Shepard

FA IR E Y Fairey didn’t forget his roots when he left Charleston. Thanks to the good people at the Halsey Institute of Contemporary Art, Fairey brought his iconic street art back to us in a way no other artist has. “I consider myself a populist artist,” Fairey says. “I want to reach people through as many different platforms as possible. Street art is a bureaucracy-free way of reaching people, but T-shirts, stickers, commercial jobs, the Internet – there are so many

different ways that I use to put my work in front of people.” (2009 John Rogers’ for Colorado Daily). Bringing change to our city’s landscape is not something the Board of Architectural review regularly allows. Fortunately for street art lovers, the city also recognized the important role Fairey has played in international culture. The gravity of Fairey’s installations has brought welcome juxtaposition to Charleston’s facade.

West

FR A SER A true son of the Lowcountry, Fraser’s place in the Charleston art community spans back further than the past decade. But, it’s important to recognize the significant mark he continues to make. “West Fraser has supported the Charleston art community for decades,” explains Corrigan Gallery owner and artist Lese Corrigan. “He’s encouraged artists and galleries, supported arts’ organizations, served on the South Carolina Arts Commission, worked on international recognition for local artists, plein air painters, and local arts committees – all while applying his talents to his painting career.” “Nobody captures the beauty of the Lowcountry landscape quite like West,” says Pam Wells of the Gibbes Museum of Art. “He is also a committed conservationist who advocates stewardship of our coastal land and waters, actively supporting local farmers and fishermen.”

Tim

HUSSE Y “Tim Hussey has proven to be a timeless creative force in the city. From his ever-questing innovation in messaging, to his hip-boho style, Tim has set a lofty standard for other painters to emulate,” says Charleston Arts Festival co-founder Terry Fox. He is vocal and unconventional. After a stint in California, Hussey returned with a fresh perspective and expanded view of his already mindful approach to contemporary painting, and we look to Hussey as one of the pioneers of Charleston’s new wave of abstract artists.

THE BRITISH PRINT INVASION: BRITISH LINOCUTS 1914-1939 November - January Scarecrow Event Gallery 23 Ann St, Charleston 36 | thear tmag.com

British Invasion A P R I VAT E C O L L E C T I O N O F MODERN ICONIC BRITISH PRINTS M A K E S I T S WAY TO C H A R L E S TO N

by Michele Seekings

rguably one of the greatest achievements in twentieth-century British art was the linocut prints produced by artists from the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London. Founded in 1925, the goal of the school was for students to explore contemporary themes while working in new and progressive media. Students had the freedom and flexibility to study what they wanted and when they wanted under no strict syllabus. (Where do I sign up?) Linocuts are images cut into pieces of linoleum, inked, and then applied to paper. These new linocut prints resulted in clean-cut blocks of vibrant color with a sense of dynamic movement. This was such a radical change in look and feel from the traditional etchings and more established printing process of the time that the prints possessed a completely modern look. Common themes included urbanism, transportation, technology, speed, and sports, which also added to their futuristic flair. Fall 2017 | 37

From 1925 to 1930, Claude Flight taught linocutting at the school. He envisioned linocuts as an affordable way for ordinary people to decorate their homes with modern art “at a price which is equivalent to that paid by the average man for his daily beer or his cinema ticket.” (reference: Linocuts of the Machine Age by Stephen Coppel, 1995) Among his students were Sybil Andrews, Cyril Power, and Lill Tschudi, who are considered to be three of the most acclaimed linocut artists. Though the popularity of linocuts was short-lived and decreased after 1939, interest in the prints was revived in the 1970s and today the Grosvenor School prints are highly collectible. ON THE HUNT A private collection of these linocuts has made its way to Charleston, and the 16 piece collection will be on public display this fall. The collector – who prefers to remain anonymous so the focus remains on the collection rather than the collector – began collecting these linocut prints in 1996 while living in 38 | thear tmag.com

NYC. His apartment on Greene Street was furnished with Art Deco furnishings, and he was on the hunt to find art to coordinate. A mentor and friend with a shared passion for art brought the collector to the International Fine Art Dealers Association Print Fair at Park Avenue Armory where he saw his first linocut. His friend, who already collected twentieth-century British linocuts, encouraged him to buy his first piece or he would “lose it.” We’ve all been with a friend who introduces us to one of their passions by bringing us along to something, and after his first linocut purchase of Waiters by Lill Tschudi, he was hooked. He found it incredible that these linocuts were created primarily by women, considering it was not easy for women to be artists in the early 1930s. To him, they “possessed a unique, energetic quality not seen in other art forms,” he says. The collection was originally driven by a need for art to fit in a period interior.

“The linocuts fit the style, feel, and vibe of the apartment’s interior,” explains the collector, but his passion for acquiring British linocuts grew. His earlier collection focused primarily on collecting urban scene linocuts but shifted to include rustic and landscape themes as he began furnishing a 1929 historic lodge in upstate New York. Again, in need of period interior furnishings, the rustic themed linocuts were a perfect fit. The “holy grail” of this collection is Speedway by Sybil Andrews, which is one of the most iconic of the linocuts of this period. Created in 1934, the piece depicts not only movement but also speed. This quintessential piece caught the collector’s eye on a trip to London and became a “must have” for his collection. He still remembers the

excitement he felt as he unpacked it after it arrived at his NYC apartment. While many of these pieces were part of the Modern Life: British Prints 1914 to 1939 exhibition in 2008 at both The Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and at The Museum of Fine Art in Boston, this will be the first time these pieces and styles of this impressive private collection of linocuts will be exhibited and showcased together. The collector is excited to share his collection in Charleston and is an advocate of sharing art in public spaces, “with the hopes that it may spark a platform for channeling creative whims and aspects,” he says. ♦ Fall 2017 | 39

My neighborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s house recently caught on fire and filled my home with thick smoke.

STEP 1

The unexpected smoke damage required a complete overhaul and cleaning of everything inside, art collection included. I learned firsthand how important it was to have a plan in place to protect my art collection before a disaster strikes.

Are you really prepared?

40 | thear tmag.com

So many elements and moving parts are involved in rebuilding your life after a disaster that your full attention canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly be placed on your art, which makes it all the more essential to have a plan before anything happens. With the impending hurricane season upon us, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to consider protecting your art by creating a disaster plan. While you never know when these things can happen, there are steps you can take to protect your valued collection and minimize any subsequent damage.

To be prepared for emergency situations, make sure you have an inventory of your art collection with detailed documentation. Familiarize yourself with the details for your insurance coverage for art. Your insurance professional can guide you to the best option for you.

Zinnia Willits is an expert in disaster preparedness. As the Director of Collections and Operations at Gibbes Museum of Art and Consulting Partner of SPIRE Art Services, she is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things related to the condition and care of art. “I always encourage collectors to create a disaster plan for their personal art collection,” she says. “A plan can be as simple as wrapping artwork in plastic to protect it from possible water damage or identifying secure, windowless spaces in your home to store art during a weather event,” Willits explains. “It can also be as complex as establishing a relationship with a fine art storage provider in another location," she adds.

STEP 3

STEP 2

Do you have a plan? Part of your plan should also include a contact list. Include your insurance agents/ brokers, insurance company (note your policy number), art handlers, shippers, and storage, along with a contact for a disaster recovery professional. “It’s so important to know who the experts are in your area before a disaster strikes,” Willits says. Another part of your plan should include a priority list, which identifies your most important items to protect. List the pieces you find the most value in; this includes pieces high in monetary value as well as pieces high in emotional value.

What if it happens to you?

Contact your insurance agent immediately! Take multiple pictures to document any damage and also describe it in writing. Begin to call the experts from your contact list to start the process of dealing with the consequences of a disaster situation. If the inside of your house becomes exposed to the elements, make sure to properly store anything of value. “Sudden, rapid, or prolonged changes in temperature and relative humidity can be detrimental to all types of artwork,” explains Willits. “It’s important to remove artwork from non-climate controlled environments after a disaster as soon as possible.” If you have no climate control, at the very least keep air circulating with fans in areas with artwork. On a personal note, I had to implement my own disaster plan from the recent smoke damage in my home. Fortunately, since I had steps one and two well in place, it made step three way less stressful and much more efficient. You never know when disaster will strike, but being prepared will save you time, money, and emotional toll. Fall 2017 | 41

T he Charleston jazz community is

As for Singleton, not only is he a trumpeter, he is also the bandleader and musical director of the Charleston Jazz Orchestra, which since its inception in 2008, has only grown in stature and reputation. “The orchestra has really picked up due to some hard work by a lot of people in the community,” says Singleton. “Great shows, great reviews, and we’re starting to get a lot of international stars that are coming through and wanting to perform with the orchestra.”

Singleton and his frequent collaborator Quentin Baxter have both—in no small part—contributed to the growing jazz scene in Charleston. Among other projects, Baxter, a highly respected drummer and percussionist, was musical director of The Mezz—a listening room for live jazz—a few years back. And though The Mezz has since closed, it remains a template for a concept this city is missing. “We still need a few spots that are totally devoted to listening to jazz,” says Singleton. “So that’s something that we’ve got to work on.”

GROWING UP GULLAH Suffice to say, Singleton’s career has changed a lot in the last decade. “I’ve really been very fortunate,” he says. “I’ve gone from just starting out as a full time musician to leading this tremendous orchestra, releasing my own recordings, and as of late there’s the new band, Ranky Tanky.”

growing. More players are moving to town, aware that a living can be made here strictly as a jazz musician. And then there’s the College of Charleston as well as Charleston Southern pumping out topnotch talent at a healthy clip. And of those college grads, “A lot of them have opted to stay in town,” says trumpeter Charlton Singleton. “There are a lot of versatile musicians coming from those schools that are making some really good music in the community.”

Fall 2017 | 43

Singleton and Baxter are both members of the quintet Ranky Tanky, along with vocalist Quiana Parler, guitarist and vocalist Clay Ross, and bassist Kevin Hamilton. Ross developed the concept for the band, essentially to celebrate and honor the music of the Lowcountry, specifically the Gullah culture. Gullah refers to descendants of enslaved African Americans that developed their own distinct culture in the southeastern sea islands of the United States, and in Ranky Tanky, they borrow a wide range of elements from that culture, including Gullah church songs, kids’ games, and poetry, then reinterpret the material and “put a little spin on [it] as only we can,” says Singleton. Both Baxter and Singleton grew up in the Lowcountry, so they were well aware of the source material. “Quentin and I grew up playing it in church quite a bit,” says Singleton. “We know these songs and kids’ games and poems and sayings and the language and all that.” 44 | thear tmag.com

How they add their own personal touch is a collaborative effort between everyone in the group and differs from song to song. They may compose a melody and harmonies for a spoken word kids’ game or combine two, maybe even three songs into a single cohesive piece of music. And of course, there is always room for improvisation and soaring solos over top of that driving Gullah rhythm, able to move even the biggest wallflower to the dance floor. Ranky Tanky has already performed throughout the United States and Europe at some of the most prestigious jazz festivals. But Charleston is still their home base. And when they’re not on the road, you can count on them contributing to the local scene. “The jazz scene in Charleston has continued to grow,” says Singleton. “And I don’t see that changing. I think it’s on really solid footing right now.” ♦

DAMN. GOOD. THEATRE.

by Trey Jameson Image: Charleston Love by Danielle Cather Cohen

T he way we view art is changing. A

new economically-based platform is creating a generation with different wants and needs, allowing the creative arts economy to become a driving force in the near-future. At its simplest form, the creative arts economy is founded in the arts and technology and the revenue streams attached to them. 46 | thear tmag.com

WHY A CREATIVE ARTS ECONOMY As automation and artificial intelligence continue to permeate our daily lives, they alter how we interact with the world â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from how we ship packages to how we communicate. No part of our lives is untouched, including our jobs. The job market and economic environment will only continue to shift to adjust to dramatically increasing technological advancements. Partially as a reaction to these changes, the creative arts economy is predicted to become a larger component of our GDP. For a country known for the Industrial Revolution and the leader of the Information Age, it may be hard to believe that creative arts could be in the driver seat, but letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s consider this: If most components of our lives are automated or controlled by AI, what is left? What will people want? And who will create these automated services and devices? Creatives. Creatives will drive this economy through design and innovation. Technology can create, but not without human intervention. Architects, designers, and artists will be needed in even greater numbers to supply the ideas for design. These changes will create an opportunity for artists. More people will want original humanmade products in this overly automated

life. A modicum of originality will be desired in our lives, and the effect created will trickle down to creatives at all levels. At its base, artists will create, and companies will want to use and incorporate their work into products and services. Design will drive all aspects of this economy.

RISE OF LOCAL CREATIVES As individuals, a life of simplicity from automation and AI may be appreciated, but it will have dire consequences for the job market. However, with every lost job comes a new opportunity for creatives, allowing artists to enter the marketplace and succeed at an unprecedented rate. Currently, Charleston is steadily transforming into the epicenter of art and culture for the South. Culinary and tech already drive the creative arts economy, with fine arts and marketing not far behind. With such a daily influx of people into our community, originality is wanted from Charleston, whatever that may be. We are fortunate that we may not have to wait for increases in automation and AI in the workplace for our economy to be heavily influenced by the creative arts industries, and if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re a creative, now may be the time to start your own business and become a part of this marketplace.

doors and welcome any and all people who care about books, stimulating conversation, and creative ideas. And it has taken on a life of its own.” Same could be said for the inaugural Charleston to Charleston Literary Festival happening this November. “It had a quirky sort of explosion of creativity,” explains Cleveland. “We were going to start very small with just some sessions on Saturday and then a half day Sunday.” But as interest grew, so too did the programming. Now the festival will run from Thursday, November 2 through Sunday the 5th.

isten up you lovers of all things literary, if you haven’t heard of the Charleston Library Society, do yourself a favor and check it out. Not only is it the oldest cultural institution in the American South and the second oldest circulating library in the United States, but since executive director Anne Cleveland took over the reins in 2009, it has blossomed into a creative hub, hosting concerts, lectures by renowned authors, and offering events to scratch all your literary itches. Cleveland is a lifelong student of history and was a teacher for many years before taking over as executive director of the Library Society, which at the time was underutilized and suffering from significantly declining membership. “Once I got in, I discovered the treasures there were just extraordinary,” says Cleveland. “All that needed to happen to revitalize this gem was to open the

The Charleston to Charleston Festival is a partnership between the Library Society and the Charleston Festival in Sussex, England, which for almost three decades has been one of the premier literary festivals in all of Europe. A handful of Library Society members had the opportunity to attend the most recent Sussex festival in May. “Every single one of those people came back just avid, in fact, rabid fans of the Charleston Sussex Festival and plan to go many more years,” says Cleveland. She hopes the local festival can inspire a similar reaction. And there’s no reason it shouldn’t, with its compelling collection of speakers from the States and the UK alike, including author and screenwriter William Nicholson. You may not know his name, but you know his work. Nicholson has been nominated for two Academy Awards for his screenplays for Shadowlands and the blockbuster Gladiator (which Fall 2017 | 49

he co-wrote). His new film, Breathe, starring Claire Foy and Andrew Garfield, is already generating Oscar buzz, and, as luck would have it, is opening in Charleston a week after the festival. So as part of the Charleston to Charleston Festival on Thursday night, “They’re going to do a sort of red carpet premiere at the Music Hall,” says Cleveland. “[Nicholson] is going to introduce it and then do a Q & A after the screening.” But that’s just the beginning of the eclectic programming the Charleston to Charleston Festival is offering. Among other topics, there will be lectures on women’s rights, Shakespeare-based historical fiction, Virginia Woolf, the preservation of artistic and literary legacies, and even an intriguing look

at how a couple from Sussex has completely separate and somewhat sensational connections to Charleston, South Carolina. And of course, there will be libations and hors d’oeuvres of plenty. The Charleston to Charleston Festival is just the latest example of the Holy City’s growing literary presence. YALLFest brings thousands of young readers to the streets of Charleston every year, and Anne Cleveland and the Library Society continually attract vaunted authors from around the globe. And hopefully this is just the beginning. “It’s been exciting to see such vibrant growth in the literary world,” says Cleveland. “And I think it’s only going to continue to expand in a healthy and exciting way.” ♦

SUSAN WALKER of IBU 183 King St ibumovement.com

What’s new for this season?

We’re excited to present a new fall/winter collection: Charlotte Moss for Ibu. A year ago, I asked Charlotte to design a clothing collection because of her own personal panache and great style, to which she gave an enthusiastic Yes! Over the past year, we have collaborated with Charlotte to design a full and integrated fall/winter collection in a palette of deep tomato red, chartreuse, charcoal, and indigo blue.

What influences your designs?

Charlotte Moss has inspired and influenced my work, of course! She dresses with bold jewelry and accents, but always a classic style. As a New York resident of 30 years or more, a friend and patron of fashion designers, and a textile designer herself, Charlotte knows the essence of style. And detail! She is all about the details, which make a garment sing.

What inspires your personal style?

My summers in Santa Fe – the absolute freedom to experiment with dress and layer in unexpected ways. I’m always inspired by vintage and antique textiles. Mexican silver jewelry, Afghan mirrored dresses, Indian caftans, simple Japanese indigo farm jackets. I love the rich visuals of walking into a party here – or even down the street – and seeing the artfulness of each person’s dress. 54 | thear tmag.com

HART HAGERTY of HART

Holiday Trunk Show Wed, Dec 6 Zero George 0 George St, Charleston

harthagerty.com

What’s new for this season?

I just launched my fall collection of earrings, which is full of earthy colors and rich, neutral tones that are versatile and chic. They’re the ultimate ‘understated statement earrings’ and I’m in love with all of the colors. For holiday, I was inspired by ‘70s Ibiza glam and created an over-the-top collection of bold earrings with a lot of wow-factor. They are shimmery, fun, and unapologetically cool. I’m also offering a new service where people can customize their own Hart army jacket. They can pick their own

embroideries from my collection of textiles, and we’ll design the jacket together with embellishments – fur collar, buttons, lining, etc.

What influences your designs?

I recently went to the Balearic islands off the coast of Spain and was inspired by the landscape and lifestyle of the Mediterranean. I can’t stop reading about the bohemians who settled into Ibiza into the ‘70s, turning the island into their wild oasis. Very free spirited and glamorous. The book Ibiza Bohemia inspired a lot of my holiday collection. Fall 2017 | 55

DANIELLE HOSKER of MASON HOSKER 17 State St, Charleston masonhosker.com

What’s new for this season?

I’m having a visual love affair with Mia Farrow, so our Mia dress was born. We’re launching our “How do you Mia?” campaign to roll out our newest dress, the “Mia”, in a limited edition collection inspired by 1960s icon, Mia Farrow. It’s the perfect shift dress to take you from “carpool to cocktails” and everything in between. Comfortable and chic – I’m MIA-ing myself right now as a working mom running between meetings, school, and work events.

Mia Shift Dress & 79 Ashley Pop-up Sat, Oct 14, 2–6pm

Meet designer Danielle Hosker in collaboration with fashion veteran George Ackerman and his amazing line of handmade Vachetta leather goods, 79 Ashley. Skinny Dip Charleston, 345 King St

Our Tiki Lounge is showcasing the South’s largest ceramic tiki collection Located next to the Scarecrow Event Gallery’s “British Print Invasion” Exhibit 23 Ann Street / Downtown Charleston

ANDY JAHDE of JAHDE LEATHER ATELIER 68 Queen Street 843.212.7329 jahdemade.com

What’s new for this season?

We’re launching our debut Fall Collection of handmade leather jewelry and small accessories, all crafted here in Charleston with American-sourced materials.

What are you inspired by?

Currently, I’m inspired by succulents. The clean lines, the different tones of green, and the bright pop of colors when they bloom was an inspiration for fall. Succulents are resilient and strong, similar to leather.

What inspires your personal style?

My style inspiration right now is a mix between the bohemian silhouettes of the ‘70s and the colors of the ‘90s. I’m loving colors like poppy red, a dark merlot, and forest green mixed with a soft peach nude or lavender. When in doubt, I wear purple – any shade of purple. Fall 2017 | 59

MINI MARIANA HAY of GOLDBUG COLLECTION Croghan’s Jewel Box 308 King St croghansjewelbox.com

What’s new for this season?

We’re introducing the Shining Star Collection, named after the Eath, Wind, and Fire song. The bugs are a little more ‘cockroach’ like, with longer, skinnier legs, and the whole body is set with crystals. The crystals are set in a ‘star’ setting, inspired by an antique gold band I fell in love with at Croghan’s. This is the third rendition of the bugs. I wanted this collection to have some element of bug designs from previous years so the collection can be interchangeable. For example, we’re doing a leather cord that comes with this season’s star bug, but the idea is to add your bug pieces from past collections or any other charms or lockets you already own. Seeing the mix of what people have is the most fun and really allows you to create something that is truly your own.

60 | thear tmag.com

What are you currently inspired by?

I always find inspiration in antique jewelry and a lot of my grandmother’s jewelry. She really shaped Croghan’s into the treasure chest it is now. A lot of my ideas stem from old pictures of her and the jewelry she wore – then altering it to be relevant and on-trend for today.

What influences your designs?

I feel so fortunate to be able to do what I love and have people support me and appreciate the line, so I always try to find a way to give back to our community. Last year’s ‘Lovebug” Heart Pendant gave back to a great local program called heART, an artist guild and theatre company that promotes creative expression, independence, dignity, and community integration for differently abled adults. This year I designed a bug pin with pink stones that will benefit the Roper St. Francis Breast Cancer Program.

MARIA PUCCI of GRAMERCY ATELIER 188 King St, No. 2 gramercy-atelier.com

What’s new for this season?

This season I’m focusing on collaborations with artists to create original fabric designs. We’ve been invited to participate at Cube Art Fair: The American Art Fair of Brussels from October 11-15. As a part of the event, we are bringing an abstract hand-painted silk piece, which we created with Eduardo Wilder, who is well-known for his costume design work on Broadway. We’re also working with Charleston-based designer Susan Carson from Carson & Company whose work combines different antique botanical prints in whimsical patterns.
