“The Sunrise Carriage Trail” (acrylic 38″ X 38″) by Kemp Littlepage McElwee

Charleston artist Kemp Littlepage McElwee opens a new exhibit of 30 acrylic works this Friday (Sept. 29) at Roger Lucas Gallery in Charleston. The image she chose for a card announcing the show should be a familiar one to fans of the Carriage Trail, which starts behind the city’s CSX railway station and climbs up to Sunrise mansion in the South Hills. “I picked this painting to be my card because there has been a resurgence of interest in the trail,” McElwee says. “People have worked hard to fix it up and make it more a part of Charleston. I’m hoping with this card that more people will remember that it is there for everyone and all of Charleston. It’s a beautiful walk.”
