Featuring renowned local artist Mary Whyte

Ms. Whyte will be discussing her new book Down Bohicket Road. You won’t want to miss this opportunity to meet this gracious and talented artist and hear her talk about how a group of Gullah women from Johns Island influenced her life and art in astonishing and unexpected ways.

About the book

Including two decades worth of watercolors, continues the story of Whyte’s relationship with a group of 15 women on Johns Island, following the passing of Alfreda LaBoard, against the backdrop of the ongoing commercial development of Johns Island. For Whyte, the heart of this community remains in the simple homes clustered along Bohicket Road, in the island’s winding tidal creeks, and in a small church where eighteen hardscrabble women gather in fellowship each week. In her book Whyte illustrates that both watercolors and friendships can be the unpredictable results of an abundance of blessings.

Her portraits are included in numerous corporate, private, and university collections, as well as in the permanent collections of South Carolina’s Greenville County Museum of Art and the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston.
