Water park happiness, a review
Helen Rice, co-owner of local Web and graphic design company Fuzzco, showcased her work in the third annual “Margo Loves Spoleto” show last Tuesday at Hope and Union. Rice coined her showing “In Which Everyone is Happy as if They Spent All Day at a Water Park.”
The slight artist debuted 10 new works depicting whimsical renderings of bunting, otherwise known as strings of colored flags, on triangular and square frames built by her father. Guests mingled on both floors of the Charleston single house-turned- coffee shop and were encouraged to spot a tiny, hidden drawing of a mouse threaded amid various washes and blocks of colored pencil.
The St. Philip Street location was packed with a diverse set of attendees from art buyers to curious passers-by, all sipping espresso cocktails and pomegranate champagne (with swirly paper straws no less).
The close of the show saw seven out of 10 pieces sold; a success for the artist and The Margo Kauffman Gallery. A portion of proceeds goes to Spoleto Festival USA.
