"Best Artist in the Triangle" in 6 of the past 10 years. Known
for his lush collages, biting wit and sartorial eccentricities, the
artist lives a reclusive life in the woods near Chapel Hill. A Triangle
resident for over 20 years, he is a native of Anson County, NC. St.
Lewis' talents were recognized at an early age and as a result he attended
Western Carolina University's gifted and talented child program for
3 years. The artist attended high school at North Carolina School of
the Arts, and furthered his education at Cooper Union in NYC as well
as Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA.
St. Lewis has over 30 solo shows to his credit, with upcoming exhibitions
in Paris this June sponsored by Jernigan-Wicker Fine Arts (www.jwfinea
rts.com) as well as simultaneous
shows at Sylvia Schmidt in New Orleans and Center of the
Earth in Charlotte next January.
"I was born on the first day of spring, so it's always been my
favorite season. This year's idea is upbeat and fun. I was inspired
by reading Lewis Carroll and his amazing imagination. I hope this smiling
sunflower will bring good cheer and happiness to everyone who sees her.
Spring is really all about happiness, flowers and new beginnings."—Louis
St. Lewis.
