The year 2011 I was
inspired to create this work of art based on the 225 year celebration of the
establishment of Columbia as the capital of SC. In my mind I began to wonder
about the past.
On the grounds of the
state capitol I see the ghosts of the past wander, surveying life, as Columbia grows.
Those who helped build this political capital city with a thirst for culture
and art. "We've had a number of individuals of all different backgrounds
who've really made Columbia kind of a cultural melting pot and an exciting
place to be," said John Sherrer with the Historic Columbia Foundation.
March 2011 Columbia, SC celebrated 225 years. This painting is dedicated to the
soldiers, firefighters, cooks, cleaners, autocrats, politicians, educators,
artists a melting pot of people who created the capital of SC.
