In March the Historic Foundation held The Charleston Festival 2024 which included Designer Vignettes at the Aiken-Rhett House Museum.

Jill Hooper was the featured artist with her exhibition  Windows into Another World,  “a glimpse into a Utopian setting of humans and animals/nature —birds, fawns, giraffes, butterflies, coyotes…and beyond.”

I was fascinated by her main work and the high ceilinged setting of the preserved Aiken-Rhett House made it more fanciful.

Our planning to get there shortly after they opened paid off with some opportunities to photograph without other visitors.

On the other end of the double parlor were other Jill Hooper works, notably her self portrait.

And some smaller sketches.
