About the Item
Signed at lower left: SSYoung
Inscribed at lower right: Daufuskie Island
The artistʼs inscription on the verso side of this work reads:
Miss Rubyʼs farm on the Gullah Island of Daufuskie. An ancient sense of being in a place that is separate from the real world. Time is still.
Situated off the coast of South Carolina, the five-mile long Daufuskie Island has for many years been home to a population of slave descendants known as the Gullah. Because the island is relatively isolated and accessible only by ferry, the Gullah culture (reflecting strong Central and West African influences) and language (an English-based creole language with African roots) and culture have flourished there.

Stephen Scott Young
Stephen Scott Young [1957 - ] American Young was influenced by artists such as Winslow Homer and the Old Masters such as Caravaggio and Vermeer. A graduate of the Ringling School of Art in Sarasota, Florida, Young began working in watercolor in 1976 taking first prize at the American Artists national art competition in watercolors in 1985. Like Homer, Young made trips to the Bahamas where he discovered the crisp, bright light that has become the hallmark of his paintings today. Both painted beautifully detailed figurative works which included black girls. Currently, the artist divides his time between studios in Florida and the Bahamas. He is part of the contemporary American Realist movement.

Scholar William Gerdts writes: In these works, Scott not only depicts young individuals engaging in a popular activity but shows their intensity and competitiveness while conveying their camaraderie. The pictures are not so much about "winners" and "losers" as about the boys' concentration on the game and the interest shown by onlookers....The sense of community evoked in the series suggests that playing marbles...Category

- Wave Series/Tattooed Woman at Sunset BeachBy Masami TeraokaLocated in Palm Desert, CA"Wave Series/Tattooed Woman at Sunset Beach" is a unique watercolor by Masami Teraoka. The framed artwork measures 22 1/2 x 17 1/2 x 1 in. “Mere depiction of social and cultural issues is not enough. My work has to create something that goes beyond simple perception. To make a strong statement, art needs timeless aesthetic qualities. These can take any subject matter to a higher level of experience. That is the essence of what I am pursuing.” – Masami Teraoka Born in Onomichi in Hiroshima Prefecture, Teraoka studied at what is now Otis College of Art and Design in Los Angeles. His works are inspired by Japanese Ukiyo-e woodcut prints. However, Teraoaka infuses the style and techniques of the traditional art with American Pop Art.
