Whitney Kreb's oil paintings celebrate the relaxed elegance that is seaside living. The artist, who splits her time between Charleston, SC, and Nantucket, MA, creates unique compositions of coastal scenery that are harmoniously graphic and painterly. Her aesthetic is constantly evloving as she reworks and reinvents mainstays that include sea life, ocean views, and the familiar streets of her hometowns. She also paints on-site murals in local designer showhouses and private homes.
Whitney received her BA in Studio Art from Davidson College and her MFA in Painting from the Savannah College of Art and Design. She has also studied in Florence, Italy, and the Art Students League in New York City. While in Charleston, she works and exhibits out of her studio at Redux Contemporary Art Center and is represented by the George Gallery and the Charleston Artist Collective. Whitney is also represented by Robert Foster Fine Art, Coastal, and the Artists' Association of Nantucket in Nantucket, MA.
Is there anyone you credit with gifting you your artistic ability and/or teaching you your skills? Or did you just pick up a brush one day and get lucky? My grandfather was a very talented artist. He always brought me new art supplies and I always had an easel in my bedroom growing up. I had a ton of encouragement from my parents and was lucky to attend art camps and classes outside of school. I took my first oil class in 10th grade and was pretty much hooked after that.
Since it varies for each artist, we want to know what inspires you? The beach, coastal living, the 1980's, fashion and interior design bloggers, my two homes- Charleston and Nantucket- all the people, places, style and local colors.
Do you hang your own work in your home? I do. They kind of revolve in and out, but I have tried to hang on to the ones that have special meaning to me. I also have some work by my artist friends- I am always up for a trade!
Is there a specific artist/work that you covet? I am a huge fan of Wayne Thiebaud and Richard Diebenkorn. I also love Alice Neil, Laura Owens and Elliott Puckette. Locally, the George Gallery and the Charleston Artist Collective have a great selection of contemporary Charleston artists.
If you were not an artist, what career do you think you’d have? Probably still something in a creative field- maybe an architect or something in the fashion world.
Rapid fire… Favorite city to travel to? L.A. West side. Guilty pleasure? Steve Winwood, Phil Collins, and Richard Marx Favorite restaurant in Charleston? High Thyme and Basil Saturday activity: beach, shopping, museum, festival or sofa? BEACH. But the others are a close second. Three words to describe yourself: sarcastic, grateful, optimistic

Sarah Boyts Yoder is a contemporary mixed media painter living and working in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Since receiving her MFA in 2006 from James Madison University and moving to Charleston, SC, Sarah has participated in over 20 juried group exhibitions (local and national) and 10 solo shows. Her bold, abstract paintings and collages have been featured in Coastal Living Magazine, Studio Visit Magazine, the Charleston City Paper, ArtMag, and on www.buysomedamnart.com. She has collaborated with and been commissioned by select interior designers and an original work was commissioned last year by www.upclyclista.com for their logo and web identity.
Sarah was a fellow at Virginia Center for the Creative Arts in 2013 and will be included in Primary Urges, a group exhibition at Honfleur Gallery in Washington D.C. in March 2014. Select pieces will soon be available at www.gathered.com and www.showandtellartanddesign.com. You can see all of her available works at her website, www.sarahboytsyoder.com.

Is there anyone you credit with gifting you your artistic ability and/or teaching you your skills? Or did you just pick up a brush one day and get lucky? Teachers. I've always loved drawing since I was a little kid and my interest in making just grew and grew. Luckily I've had several GREAT teachers who encouraged me at every step -- elementary, middle, high school and then undergrad and graduate school too.
Since it varies for each artist, we want to know what inspires you? My kids, children's book illustrations, gooey paint, definitely a love for color. There is this really exciting moment when you're working on a painting---it'll either crash and burn or come together just right. That moment is just awesome and it inspires and drives you to keep going back in the studio. Oh, and stripes!!
Do you hang your own work in your home? I do. But I really like to constantly move things around and rearrange. The walls in my house are really storage space for my works, a temporary home for them before they find a permanent place to land. I also think it's important to get the work out of the studio and into a living space where you can experience it in lots of different moods and lighting. It reveals itself over and over again.
Is there a specific artist/work that you covet?Ky Anderson (www.kyanderson.com). I got to meet her in her studio in Brooklyn last time we were in NYC. We did a trade of small works but one day I want to have one of her large paintings in our home. Her work is spacious and has this light to it. She also uses these geometric lines and shapes which feel really dimensional and solid, yet they exist in this airy landscape...it's just good.
If you were not an artist, what career do you think you’d have?I'd want to be one of those art preservationists that restores old masterpiece paintings or books. That's civilization man!
Rapid fire… Favorite city to travel to?New York. But when I eventually go to Florence, Italy, it'll probably be that.
Guilty pleasure?It's a toss up between about 5 cups of coffee in the morning or...peanut butter.
Favorite restaurant in Charleston? Xiao Bao or D'Als
Saturday activity: beach, festival, shopping, museum or sofa?Beach!! Station 26...
Or a festival. But not a concert...I'm thinking more of the vineyard variety.
Three words to describe yourself: Impatient, Caffeinated, Blessed.
Thanks so much Sarah! It was a pleasure getting to know you better!

Can you believe it's already almost Thanksgiving? I can't!! I admit I am pretty excited though because Thanksgiving is probably my most favorite Holiday...lots of delicious food, family time, and the reminder of how much I have to be thankful for. And one of the many things I am thankful for is being able to live on the gorgeous South Carolina Coast. So..meshing those two things together can make for a pretty amazing table setting. Here are some ideas that I'm loving this year...
I was so excited to co-host an event at Eclectic last week with my friend Elizabeth Gumb, Personal Stylist, of the Charleston division of The Well Coiffed Closet. She even helped style me for the party and ladies, she really knows what she is doing, you should totally hire her!
