"Someone's Paradise II" by Helen K. Beacham (watercolor)

Two of our best Summerville artists, Susan Cato and Helen K. Beacham, are teaming up and displaying their artwork at Crowfield Golf & Country Club during the hot month of July! Susan works in oils, ...while Helen's emphasis is on watercolor.

Susan Cato has been sharing her artwork with the public since 1996. Her artistic instincts come naturally from her mother and grandmother, who also painted in oils and drew in colored chalks and pencils. She enjoys the fluidity, open time, and rich colors that oils provide.

Helen Beacham, on the other hand, loves the spontaneity and transparency that watercolors provide her with. Acrylics are another water-based medium that fascinates this artist. She says "Watch for my new, bright, bold acrylics to pop up all over the place this year. I feel a breakthrough coming!"

Susan & Helen have both exhibited in numerous fine art exhibits, art festivals and juried competitions around the country, receiving numerous awards along the way.

Ms. Cato is an exhibiting member of the McCormick Arts Council at the Keturah, McCormick, SC; the Charleston Artist Guild, Charleston, SC; and the Goose Creek, SC Artist Guild. She is a volunteer member and donor of the Sculpture in the South Organization. Her artwork is represented at the Fish or Cut Bait Gallery, Edisto Beach, SC; North Charleston, SC City Gallery; Finishing Touch Framing Shop, Summerville, SC; and Spencer Art Gallery II, Charleston, SC.

Ms. Beacham is the Vice President of the Charleston Artist Guild, exhibiting her artwork at Summerville's Art Central Gallery, Charleston's Courtyard Art Gallery and at the Charleston Artist Guild Gallery.

Their artwork will be displayed and for sale during the whole month of July at Crowfield Golf & Country Club, 300 Hamlet Circle, Goose Creek, SC. For examples of Ms. Beacham's work, visit www.helenkbeacham.com. For further information, call Helen Beacham at 843-871-5637.
