For immediate release

The Charleston Artist Guild is pleased to present “The Beauty of Sea-Level, in Oils”, an exhibition featuring a collection of oil paintings by Richard Dye. Rich is the featured artist at the CAG Gallery for February 2021. The exhibit will run from February 1 through February 28, 2021.

Rich’s work often depicts landscapes, seascapes, and wildlife, as well as the effects of light on water and skies. “I want to portray the beauty I see in the world day to day, but often overlook in our busy lives, another chance to admire the gifts around us” he states. Rich Dye has been recognized for his artwork since his childhood days in Oyster Bay, NY. His relationship with coastal South Carolina began in childhood also, as his summer vacations were spent at Folly Beach. He later attended the College of Charleston. 

Rich lived in New England and worked in graphic arts and sales. After joining art associations and winning awards, he studied at the NH Institute of Art further developing his fine arts skills and painting in acrylics and oils. Along with his wife Heidi, Rich moved back to the Lowcountry in 2019 and has since been juried in as an exhibiting member of the Mount Pleasant Artist Guild and the Charleston Artist Guild where his work is currently exhibiting.
