Abstract Metal Sculptor, Stephen Kishel
At 7 years old, Stephen made his very first metal sculpture, and from then on, his path was set - he
wanted to express himself through metal. And that's exactly what he did.
Stephen has created thousands of sculptures, mobiles and wall art from metal throughout his career.
His works are featured in various galleries, as well as ornamenting public libraries, university
campuses, hospitals and governmental buildings.
When Stephen moved from Indiana to Bluffton, SC, he founded Palmetto Oaks Sculpture Garden,
just a few minutes from Hilton Head Island, which has turned into a beautiful and unique outdoor
gallery that welcomes visitors from all over the world. This is truly a must see if you're looking for
things to do in Bluffton and Hilton Head. You can now see Stephen’s artwork at Thibault Gallery as well.
Lindsay Spinks is a watercolor artist and Creative Director based in Bluffton, South Carolina. With a background in Visual Communication and a career in art and design, her work is shaped by a lifelong interest in color, composition, and visual storytelling.
In 2016, Lindsay created Petite Printz®, a creative project centered around miniature watercolor paintings. Her work combines delicate realism, soft watercolor textures, and carefully composed scenes inspired by nostalgia, everyday life, and the challenge of capturing detail and personality within only a few inches of paper.
After stepping away from Petite Printz for several years, a move from New York to South Carolina brought Lindsay back to painting and sparked a new chapter in her work. Today, she creates original watercolors, custom commissions, fine art prints, and leads watercolor workshops throughout the Lowcountry.
Whether painting a familiar place, beloved pet, or everyday object, Lindsay hopes her work encourages people to pause, lean in a little closer, and find something meaningful in the details.
When she isn't painting, Lindsay can usually be found wandering through a bookstore or farmers market, sitting in a local coffee shop, reading a fantasy novel, or spending time with her husband and their dog, Maverick. In her studio, there's almost always a cup of coffee nearby and Jerry Vale playing in the background.
