The Charleston Artist Guild Gallery is excited to present ‘Spirit of Time - a Collaboration of Creative Minds’ by featured artists Addelle Sanders and Susanne Frenzel. The exhibit will run from June1 through June 30 with an opening reception on Friday, June 6 from 5pm-8pm. As Charleston artists with diverse backgrounds, Susanne and Addelle collaborated for the first time. They both love color and texture and see this life as a bright journey. Their work stimulates your visual senses and leaves room for a lot of interpretation.   

"Stairway"

Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, Addelle Sanders was employed by the Manhattan Veterans Administration as a CMSW for thirty years. Addelle is a fiber artist who developed her technique in laying colorful silk threads and metallic cords weaved on wood into individual and group figurines working in mixed media specialty in threads. Her art was chosen to be exhibited in the permanent collections of the Schomburg Center in New York. After retirement she pursued her art full time and relocated to Charleston, SC. Addelle’s work achieved numerous awards and exhibits in art festivals and private galleries. 

"Diversity"

Born and raised in Germany, Susanne Frenzel worked as a high school and middle school teacher for 10 years. In 1990, she moved to the United States. Art has always been her passion, especially experimenting with different surfaces, media and techniques. Susanne follows spontaneous perceptions and inspirations to create her abstract paintings and to catch the viewer’s eye. Her award-winning work, shown and juried nationally and internationally, can be found in private and public collections throughout Europe and the USA. She also taught German at The Citadel, The Military College of SC, for 10 years.
