The Charleston Artist Guild is pleased to present Awakening, an exhibition featuring a collection of paintings by Cathy Peterson Fuller. Cathy is the featured artist at the CAG Gallery for the month of November 2021.

Cathy spent her early years in San Antonio, TX, then returned to Aiken, SC, and attended the University of SC in Columbia, before finally settling down in Charleston. She works in oil and cold wax, acrylic, and mixed media with brush and knife, attributing her love of brilliant color to influences and inspirations from her mother, also an artist, and Georgia O’Keefe. She is a strong believer in allowing her stream of consciousness technique to guide her from the start to the finish of any piece she creates.

“I see color as an avenue of expression - everyone needs some color in their life. I am passionate about the colors of my city, Charleston, the outdoors, the water, the architecture, everywhere I look there’s a painting and a photograph ready to emerge.”

The opening reception for Awakening will be held during the First Friday Art Walk on November 5th from 5-8 pm at the CAG Gallery, 160 E. Bay Street, in downtown Charleston. The CAG Gallery is open 7 days a week, from 11 am to 5 pm. Everyone is welcome!
