About Drue McGarty
This collection of still life paintings by Drue McGarty celebrates the quiet beauty in everyday moments. She merges Dutch Golden Age influences with a contemporary Southern sensibility to create warm, grounded paintings that are luminous and rich in detail. Her compositions, which often include flowers from her garden, local birds, vintage objects, and locally inspired vignettes, feel both timeless and personal. She often paints poppies which have been a recurring presence throughout her life, from her childhood in California to her Charleston garden. The fragile, fleeting nature of poppies has always reminded Drue to appreciate the present, and recognize the passing of time. In a world that has felt tense and uncertain over the past several years, Drue’s work invites viewers to pause, breathe, and rediscover the pleasure of quiet moments.
