Mayfest
Here comes the 46th Anniversary of Mayfest coordinated by The Rotary Club of Bluffton! We are excited to be back this year and are planning for a great event which will feature more than 130 artists and food vendors.
Mayfest, also known as The Bluffton Mayfest, is considered one of the best hometown festivals in the country and ADMISSION IS FREE!! Get ready for an outstanding event featuring local and regional arts and crafts, great music, and delectable local foods up and down the street, our hilarious Ugly Dog contest and the messy, funny, pie eating contest.
This year’s featured artist is Karen Magill.
Karen Magill:
Moving to Bluffton, South Carolina, Karen transitioned from a corporate career in the Food Industry, and raising 6 sons and a daughter with her husband Doug, to the welcoming arms of the lowcountry art community. The love and exploration of the many forms of visual art has been a constant theme throughout her life. She has enjoyed working in stained glass, pencil, pen and ink, mixed media, watercolor, gouache as well as acrylic and oil painting. Living in the lowcountry the beautiful land and waterscapes have provided opportunities to paint from life: plein air (outdoors).
Karen prefers plein air painting in order to best see color and capture the effects of light on the landscape. She often creates small studies that are the basis of her larger paintings.
Her work resides in private collections throughout the United States as well as in several lowcountry galleries. She does commission work on a limited basis.
