Mary Whyte’s work is nationally recognized for its powerful depictions of African Americans and the working south. Whyte, a South Carolina resident, has been featured in a CBS program about her watercolor paintings and how they affect the people who see them. Edgewater is proud to display one of the artists’ most striking pieces, “Birthday”, which demonstrates her immense talent. Eight square feet of delicately painted tablecloths, shadows, and skin portray Mary Whyte’s incredible abilities with watercolor, one of the most difficult mediums to master.
