Artist Helen
Duckworth’s exhibition “Whispers and Song” opens at the
Ellis-Nicholson Gallery during the upcoming Spoleto Festival in
downtown Charleston. The paintings for this show were carefully
selected by Duckworth for the overall feeling of peace: the
baby in it's mother's arms, the lovers in gentle touch or the
woman quietly alone. The predominant feeling is one of
settling down to an inner quiet space, whether in dance, embrace
or in solitary contemplation.
Duckworth was born
in Yorkshire, England. She began painting as a teenager and
emigrated to the United States in the 1960's. She studied at the
Art Students League and the School of Visual Arts in New York
City, concentrating on drawing and portraiture. Moving to South
Carolina in 1977 she lives close to marshland and rivers which
feed her ideas for both her paintings and poetry. |
