Laurie McIntosh’s Tidal Transformations: My World in Linocut at Stormwater Studios

South Carolina artist Laurie McIntosh debuts her latest exhibition, Tidal Transformations: My World in Linocut, at Stormwater Studios until Saturday, 20, 2025. 

Featuring more than 40 works, the exhibition highlights McIntosh’s use of the linocut reduction technique—often called “suicide printing”—and introduces mixed media pieces made from the leftover materials and fragments generated during the printmaking process.

“Linocut requires intricate planning,” says McIntosh. “Using its byproducts lets me work from a more spontaneous, intuitive place.”

McIntosh holds a B.A. in Fine Art from the University of South Carolina and has trained at institutions including Penland School of Crafts. She is known for large, thematic bodies of work inspired by personal narrative and visual exploration. Her previous exhibitions include All the In-Between: My Story of Agnes and Gatherings: My World in Linocut at Stormwater Studios in 2023. She operates a working studio in Camden, SC.

Stormwater Studios is located at 413 Pendleton Street in Columbia, SC 29201. The gallery will be open daily during this exhibition from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Something Old, Something New: Works by Patrick Parise

Embark on a journey through abstraction, impressionism, and realism at Stormwater Studios. From September 24 to 28, 2025, the gallery will present Something Old, Something New, a dynamic exhibition by Patrick Parise, open daily from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The opening reception will take place on Thursday, September 25, from 5:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m., followed by an Artist Talk on Saturday, September 27, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Showcasing etchings, monoprints, sculptures, and paintings spanning nearly 50 years, this exhibition highlights Parise’s evolving creative journey—from early works like Innervisions (1974) to recent pieces such as Mystical Garden. The collection bridges traditional and contemporary styles, inviting viewers to explore vibrant intersections of texture, color, and form.

About the Artist
Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1952, Patrick Parise has lived and worked in Columbia, SC, for more than five decades. Influenced early by his mother, a painter and art historian, Parise studied painting at Bethany College and printmaking under Boyd Saunders at the University of South Carolina. He went on to establish his own etching studio and later expanded into painting, sculpture, mixed media, and custom design work.

Parise’s accomplishments include solo exhibitions at Columbia galleries such as Vista Studios, City Art Gallery, and Stormwater Studios, as well as international recognition through the Saatchi Gallery’s Your Studio Competition. His work has been commissioned for both private and public projects across South Carolina, including gifts for foreign dignitaries and large-scale installations.
