The Simpsonville Art Center is debuting a watercolor art exhibit Tuesday evening.
The X3 exhibit is opening on Tuesday from 6 to 8 pm and will run through April 3rd at the Simpsonville Art Center.
The exhibit features three local watercolor painters who Art Center Manager Melissa Sturgis said she was exposed to at art galleries around the area.
“We just wanted to fill the space with bright, colorful, happy paintings after kind of a dark dreary winter with lots of rain,” Sturgis said. “I found all of these three women at various galleries in downtown Greenville, and I just fell in love with their art. I talked to them about exhibiting here in the art center, and they went for it.”
One of the artists, Gayle Miller, has studied in multiple states as well as abroad and has been a part of a local gallery since moving to Greenville three years ago.

“I’ve been doing [watercolor painting] for about 20 years, sort of developing a different skill here and there and just enjoying the vibrancy of it,” Miller said. “I like my paintings to have some sort of emotion or feeling in them, even if it’s just the contrast of the colors that brings people a little bit of sparkle.”
The art on display at the exhibit is also up for sale.
