Reflections of Rockhill and Sumter is a heartfelt art exhibit that celebrates the enduring influence of two remarkable women, Emma B. Cathcart of Rockhill, S.C., and Carolyn T. McKay of Sumter, S.C., on the artist’s life and identity. Through a series of evocative works, the exhibit reflects on cherished childhood memories, inviting viewers to experience the gardens, lessons, and love shared by these influential grandmothers.
Emma, a sharecropper, and Carolyn, an educator, were much more than their professions; they served as pillars of strength and wisdom in the artist’s upbringing. Each piece in the exhibit represents a memory—capturing the flowers they cultivated, the values they instilled, and the lives they enriched.
This exhibition is both a tribute and a long-overdue acknowledgment of the deep love, respect, and appreciation the artist holds for these extraordinary women. Reflections of Rockhill and Sumter invites viewers to honor their legacy and reflect on the profound impact of family and heritage in shaping personal identity.
