Hayden Wilson - Live Event Painter
Hayden Wilson is a Charleston-based painter who is the current resident artist at the Gallery at Sweetgrass at Wild Dunes on the Isle of Palms. She received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Clemson University, focusing her degree in oil painting while advancing in multiple disciplines of study, such as drawing, photography, graphic design, printmaking, and ceramics. Wilson’s current photorealistic oil paintings focus on organic subjects and explore the various scenes and textures of the lowcountry landscape. Her hyperrealistic style joyfully explores the boundary between realism and expressionism, and one was recently juried by the American Woman Artists organization. Together with her husband and two daughters, Hayden is grateful to live in Charleston and be surrounded with the endless beauty and inspiration (and food!) of our community.
