There aren’t many galleries where you can browse both antique and contemporary art in a single visit. At the Cheryl Newby Gallery in Pawleys Island, however, you can. Owner Cheryl Newby maintains an extensive selection of contemporary paintings and sculpture along- side a selective inventory of antique maps and prints. A quick look around the antique side will turn up works by the likes of John James Audubon, George Edwards, Mark Catesby and John Gould. If those don’t satisfy, Newby will gladly find something more to your taste or hunt down prints by a particular artist, should you have one in mind.
When it comes to contemporary artists, the gallery represents 13 painters from throughout the country, including William McCullough (SC), the late Ray Ellis (MA), Paula Holtzclaw (NC), Martha dePoo (FL), the late Quita Brodhead (PA) and Mike Williams (SC). Three nationally known sculptors—Sandy Scott (WY), Gwen Marcus (NY) and Catherine K. Ferrell (FL) also have work in the gallery, as does fine ceramic artist Glenda Taylor (FL) and portrait painter James Crowley (SC).
