"The Edge of Time II" by Meyriel Edge

Saul Alexander Gallery at Main Library - Come check out April's gallery artist, Meyriel Edge for her exhibition "The Edge of Time II."

Artist's Statement - After a fulfilling career teaching art, Meyriel Edge returned to being a full-time artist and, in 2015, joined Fabulon Gallery where she had a successful show, "The Edge of Time." Since then, her work has developed and matured thanks to challenging commissions, the discovery of online competitions during lockdown, and a constant supply of thoughts, memories and ideas that demand attention. Drawing has been a lifelong passion fueled by her love of nature and persistent filling of sketchbooks with landscapes and animals. For her, this foundation is invaluable especially when creating abstract paintings. Following art college in Wales and additional University education in England, she became a professional artist and high school educator. In 1980, Meyriel, her husband, two small children, and a dog, moved to Illinois for two years. Their lives in the USA became permanent with a move to Summerville, SC in 1983. She returned to her chosen career path, and for 24 happy years taught art at Ashley Hall. She is grateful for those years, her collectors, jurors in many competitions, Susan Irish of Fabulon, The National Association of Women Artists, The Charleston Artist Guild, and the Saul Alexander Gallery for their support.
