Jim Horton, an artist and native of North Carolina, works in a Romantic Modern Style with a theatrical quality. His work is bold with direct statements, playing strong contrasts between darks and lights, giving close attention to lighting and the effects of lighting. The focal point pulls the viewer into the art then the viewer’s eyes drift around the piece as he is lead by the designs, shapes and color. Mr. Horton’s palette in painting is a full range of brilliant colors.

His background has been senior art director for several major advertising agencies in Chicago, Illinois, as well as art instructor for colleges in Illinois and North Carolina. He is now retired from the commercial art field and dedicates his time to the fine arts produced in his studio. He has paintings and sculpture in private and corporate collections throughout the United States and Canada.

Dorothy Herron started her art career as an oil painter studying under the direction of Jean Johnson at Carnegie Institute in Pittsburgh. After moving to South Carolina in 1993, Dorothy began working predominately in water colors. She felt that water colors enabled her to achieve a freedom of expression and lightness that best captures the look of the Low Country.” I like to sit and study my subject until I develop a very personal feeling about the view or still life. I try never to start a painting until I can visualize it in my head.”

Dorothy is a long time participant in The Art in the Park events in Myrtle Beach, demonstrating her craft and encouraging newcomers to enjoy art. Dorothy is a member of the Water Color Society of South Carolina, the Waccamaw Art and Craft Guild and a Charter member of the Back Porch Painters.
