Thursday June 21 at 6:30 Diane Edison will discuss her remarkable drawings—all portraits of men in her life: family, colleagues and fellow artists. In her large format drawings Edison poses her sitters frontally and examines their faces as if under a microscope. Edison’s technique is most unusual: she works on black paper using a white pencil and typically spends fifty hours on each one. Below, a sample of her work, a portrait of her brother Gary.  Edison is a native of New Jersey and currently is the Associate Director of the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia. Free at the Greenville County Museum of Art
