Saul Alexander Gallery Exhibit
Carolyn TerPoorten's exhibit is
inspired by the homeless community in Charleston. She explains, "I painted the
guests on location, in oil, while they talked to me. Yes, they loved being
painted and to have someone hear their stories. Something deep in the human
psyche depends on the presence of kindness; something instinctive in us expects
it. Once we taste kindness, we are able to trust and open ourselves."
