Charleston Harbor Triptych

January 20, 2024 in map paintings, paintings

In 2023 I was commissioned to create a large map painting to be hung in a conference room in an office on King Street in downtown Charleston. I wanted to create something different from previous Charleston maps so took a more horizontal approach and focused on the harbor and the surrounding islands.

Land shown on map from left to right: Johns Islnad, West Ashley, James Island, Charleston Peninsula, Mount Pleasant, Sullivan’s Island, Isle of Palms.

(3) 30 x 30”

acrylic on wood panel, finished in resin

2023

* map inspo with a 12” grid sketched out for reference.

P R O C E S S and so much detail.
