 "Analogue photography and woodworking allow me to embrace a more intentional creative process, where each frame on film and each crafted piece of wood are deliberate, mindful expressions. My commitment to these media is rooted in my deep connection

"Analogue photography and woodworking allow me to embrace a more intentional creative process, where each frame on film and each crafted piece of wood are deliberate, mindful expressions. My commitment to these media is rooted in my deep connection to nature and the outdoors, aligning with my joy in appreciating the often-unnoticed beauty in everyday life. Creating brings me peace and into a resurfacing through the balance of intentionality and free-flowing exploration.

It is my mission to inspire others to step into their own authentic freedom to growing emotionally, spiritually, and relationally toward liberation and harmony in their own journeys. My intention is to awaken a deeper sense of purpose, authenticity, and appreciation for what takes place within and around us. Through my work, I look to aid in unlocking an intrinsic transformation in others, encouraging them to connect more profoundly with themselves and the natural beauty that surrounds them."

Andrea Langman is a local artist who has been living in the lowcountry for the last five years. After traveling to the Charleston area for over twenty years, she and her family jumped at the opportunity to become residents the first chance they got.

"Born in Washington, DC, and raised in Maryland, Sarah has made Charleston, SC her home for over 15 years. A self-taught creative, she enjoys exploring new subjects, media, and materials, always evolving in technique and style.

Captivated by the cultural elements that shape our world, Sarah’s work merges past influences with modern visuals, inviting viewers to look closer, question the familiar, and find humor in life’s quirks. Her vibrant, mixed-media art—created with acrylic, gouache, watercolor, oils, and textiles on paper, canvas, and wood—reflects the beautiful, messy, and colorful nature of life itself. Each piece is a testament to her playful, open approach to creating."

For me, creating art is about the process of experimenting, discovering, and being present in the moment. I simply love the act of making. I work on the floor of my studio, where I can connect directly with the canvas. Using dyes, inks, and water, I let the materials guide me, creating abstract pieces that feel alive and unplanned.
Bright colors are my language. They speak to energy, emotion, and possibility. My work often falls into the color field style, where it’s less about telling a story and more about inviting people to feel something.
Every piece I make is an exploration, a reflection of my connection to the materials and the moment. It’s about embracing the beauty in what unfolds naturally, and that’s what keeps me coming back to the canvas.

“Majoring in Art at College of Charleston, I started painting shortly after I graduated. I want my art to be a challenge, to hopefully evolve for the better, and I think it is a privilege to be in my studio and to be a part of creating something that I love. I really do think my paintings very much reflect who I am and what I'm attracted to in my everyday life. I am attracted to joyful, thoughtful people. I love bright, vibrant colors and hope that the paintings that I create have a timelessness about them and are passed down to daughters and granddaughters.”

Blakely Made

Blakely Made

“My passion as a painter comes from a life-long desire to create. Growing up in Annapolis, Maryland, I was always out on the water, sailing or boating, all the while collecting shapes and colors to put in my pocket and bring home. I began painting in high school and continued to pursue art further down the coast at the College of Charleston. In 2013, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy at SACI, where I spent the semester focusing on finding my style. One of my professors, Lorenzo, expressed, “you do your best work when you just play.” This was really encouraging to me. Upon graduation, I was playing by painting in my off hours and trying to establish myself as an artist. In 2014, I officially started Blakely Made! 

Currently, I live in downtown Charleston with my husband, Curtis, our son, Dean, and our golden retriever, Posie. When I’m not in the studio, we are often found enjoying Hampton Park or out on the boat exploring the marsh. Inspired by the local waters and my travels, I love to behold my surroundings and then depict them in my own way on a canvas. I am always mesmerized with the way my paintings can speak to others without using words. Some paint on a canvas creates a shared experience between you, the viewer, and me, the artist. This connection brings me such joy and compels me to paint the way I see the world: full of color in unlikely places.”

Collage Kitsch

“My collage work is a celebration of sustainability and social history, created entirely from vintage books, magazines, wallpaper, and wrapping paper. Each piece is a carefully constructed reflection of our past, using materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. By repurposing discarded items, I aim to both preserve and transform them, giving new life to objects that carry a unique narrative. My collages become a visual dialogue, intertwining fragments of history, culture, and memory, while emphasizing the importance of sustainable practices in art. My love for mid century modern is reflected in most of my art, the colors and textures are truly unique and really can’t be reproduced or copied very well. Through this work, I hope to create pieces that not only tell a story but also encourage a greater appreciation for the materials we often overlook.”
