JENNIFER SPAKER I've been painting landscapes and still life art for over 20 years. I primarily use oils but occasionally try acrylics. I enjoy both "plein air" and studio painting. Most of my larger pieces are done in the studio.
South Carolina has been my home for over 10 years. First, in Fort Mill and now in the coastal area of Mount Pleasant, near Charleston. There is so much beautiful scenery in the Low Country! Now that I live near the marshes on Horlbeck Creek and the Wando River, I have fallen in love with the colorful sunsets and the big skies over the water. This has been my main subject material for the last year or so.
A little about me: I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I met my husband in Buffalo, NY and spent 20 years in the Buffalo and Rochester region. I love the scenery in upstate New York. I've always been a painter, even as a kid. I'm mostly self taught, but I've taken lots of artist workshops over the years. My college degrees are in psychology and nursing. I work very part time for Charleston County School District as a nurse. I've been married for 30 years and raised three daughters. During Covid times I was able to paint a lot and I had some big improvements in my work. So I decided to apply to some national and regional exhibitions. Here are some recent exhibitions I was fortunate to be accepted to: ( and just by coincidence, every show I entered was hosted by a gallery in Charleston. This made the delivery of paintings very easy. Luckily most of my entries sold.)
National Oil and Acrylic Painters Society: Best of America Small Works. Summer, 2021, Principle Gallery, Charleston, SC
American Impressionist Society: Small Works Showcase, Spring, 2021, Reinert Fine Art Gallery, Charleston, SC
American Impressionist Society: Online Exhibition for Associate Members, Spring 2021
Oil Painters of America: Eastern Regional Exhibition, Fall, 2020, Reinert Gallery, Charleston, SC.
Last year I had a great year with art sales and this year is going well too. I've got work in four galleries around South Carolina, The galleries are listed on my gallery page. I'm considering trying to branch out to other cities once I build up my inventory a bit more.
Thank you for your art interest!

Debbie Whitsett: Artist in Residence
Smelling the rich vapors of my uncle and grandfathers' oil paints was a big influence on my life. It touched my brain as only caustic chemicals can. But seriously, the chain of events of my life molded me and guided me to the artist I am today. I am extremely grateful to be able to do what I love, create. Painting and sculpting liberate my good feelings, and joy. I just want to share that with everyone. I have no favorites between them, they are equal in value and in pleasure. The bright colors that painting allows me to employ on the canvas is a festival for my eyes. I hope you feel the same! Happy, Shiny!
