Jen Ervin received her MFA from Boston University and her BA from Francis Marion University. Ervin’s work is rich in sensory memory, often reflecting themes of solitude, intimacy and the uniqueness of the ordinary. She combines a stripped-down technique with the careful selection of details to develop a visceral, poetic language that leans on imperfection. Recent solo shows include Becoming at Francis Marion University and Moving Into Stillness at the Saul Alexander Gallery.
Jennifer has studied at Hartford Art School and the Tucson Museum of Art. She has shown in several states in the Northeast and the Southwest, as well as in Charleston. Currently, Jennifer is focused on producing paintings that evoke the emotion one feels in a moment of time, rather than the stark reality of the scene in front of her. Everything, every moment is reliant on the interactions of the whole that came before it. There is a timelessness, yet evanescence to her paintings. Jennifer is the conduit for the viewer to embark on their own personal emotional journey, using her paintings as the gateway to that journey.

A native of Greensboro, NC, Kate Long Stevenson began her painting career while a student at the University of the South. Her lifelong passion for music, history and the arts was furthered by intensive study and travel before her 2003 graduation.

In her figurative paintings she uses the subject merely as an invitation to appreciate the rest of the piece.

Kate graduated Magna Cum Laude with Departmental Honors and was honored to receive both the Tyzack Prize and the Goss-Duval Scholarship during her time as an undergraduate.

Kirsten Moran grew up in a little brown house in North central Massachusetts. There, she became infused with an appreciation for all life and its fleeting nature. What shaped her aesthetically then, and continues to this day, is the origin of memory and the deep feeling of belonging: ancestrally and in the here and now. How these sensations resurface, manifests in her work through impressions that feel ancient. There is a dialogue present that extends beyond the corporeality of the body, straight to the soul. Kirsten has a B.F.A in Painting and a B.A. in Cinema from Binghamton University. She is currently an M.F.A. candidate at Savannah College of Art and Design.

Everything tells a story in the work. It is all relevant, inherent and uniquely human. In the near future, she plans to launch a project called Create and Live, intuitive art workshops, lectures and events.

His art is inspired by his travel experiences as well as local history, and can be seen in local advertisements around Charleston.
