Henry Cheves
Henry is the associate priest at Trinty Episcopal Church on Edisto Island. A
Charleston native, he now lives on Edisto with his wife Susan. He began painting
in the late 1990s and is largely self-taught, though he studied with Kansas City
artist David Chow for three years.

Henry describes his style as impressionistic realism; a loose style particularily suited
to watercolors. His favorite subjects are seascapes, coastal landscapes and the
bird life on the coast.

Jerry Pruitt
If you ask Jerry why he throws pots, he'll tell you its
simply because he loves it! It's still a thrill for him to
take a bit of clay and turn it into a bowl, pitcher, or
coffee cup.

Jerry started throwing pottery in 1986 as a hobby, but
soon had more quality pieces than he could ever use
or give away to family! His pottery has been sold in
Europe and throughout the Southeastern United
States. Since his retirement as a civil service worker in
2003, he has been throwing full time. He now recides
with his wife in Augusta, Gerogia.

Merelyn Devers
Instead of designing jewlery using polished and
faceted gemstones, Merelyn uses rock crystals
such as amethyst and quartz that come from
the earth already sparkling. She combines such
crystals with harmonizing colors of stained glass
and forms them into one of a kind jewelry
designs. Merelyn has been experimenting with
jewlery designs for about 12 years and working
with stained glass along side her husband since
1979. Merelyn and her husband work on their
craft on Edisto Island, where they are
year-round residents.

Patricia H. Sage (SAGE)
Former Edisto Island resident, Patricia Sage, started Sage Gallery as a place to display
and sell her island- influenced watercolors. She is from a family who were "artists to
the stars" in Hollywood and her work has been acquired by thousands of admirers in
the United States and on five continents. She now resides with her husband in Florida,
where she continues to paint.
