Tour Frank Lloyd Wright's, Auldbrass Plantation, located in Beaufort County, South Carolina, near the town of Yemassee. A true architectural treasure, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is nestled in the backwoods of the South Carolina Lowcountry and is the only Southern Plantation designed by legendary architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

Wright designed Auldbrass to exist in harmony with the Lowcountry landscape of which it is a part. Situated among tall oaks dripping with Spanish moss on the edge of a lush cypress swamp, this low-lying complex of eccentric pavilions, animal enclosures and out buildings demonstrates how Wright could design architecture to suit any environment. He incorporated decorative motifs inspired by local flora into the design of the buildings.The abstract forms of ornamental rain spouts suggest hanging clusters of Spanish moss. Shades of rust and brown create a rustic effect at Auldbrass. Even the curbs of the paved paths that wind through the property are painted a rich rust color.Informal, rustic and rambling, the main house feels like a Frank Lloyd Wright hunting lodge. 107 Fleet Landing, Historic Downtown Dinner and This item includes a gift certificate valued at $450 at Fleet Landing and six tickets to tour the Aiken Rhett House and Nathanial Russell House.

The Aiken-Rhett House Museum, c.1820, is located at 48 Elizabeth Street, Charleston, SC. If the walls of this vast house and outbuildings could talk, they would tell you a compelling tale of urban life in antebellum Charleston through the eyes of several generations of the prominent Aiken family and the enslaved people who maintained their property and way of life. A “preserved as found” approach to the property’s conservation allows visitors to discover interiors unaltered since the mid-19th century.

A National Historic Landmark, the Nathaniel Russell House Museum was built over a five-year period and completed in 1808 by Charleston merchant Nathaniel Russell. The house cost $80,000 to build, at a time when the average value of a home was $262. The home’s graceful, free-flying, three-story staircase is an architectural marvel with each cantilevered step supporting the one above and below it. The graceful interiors with elaborate plasterwork ornamentation, geometrically shaped rooms, formal gardens and collection of 18th-century decorative and fine art speak to the wealth of Charleston’s elite in the early days of the American Republic.

His professional career started after Giclees moving to the coast of Maine. Childhood memories on the Chesapeake, twelve years on the Maine coast, and now living in Virginia along the James River, William has always been drawn to the sea. He has continuously been honing his skills; painting the subjects he loves ranging from schooners and ships to seascapes and landscapes. Constantly evolving and exploring variations of style and subjects, his representational work ranges from highly detailed and crisp to painterly and Impressionistic. His oil paintings have been described as “museum quality” as there is a depth and richness to them that demonstrates a high level of expertise and mastery.

After many years painting maritime scenes, William has found new inspiration in his move to Charleston. Along with his maritime and bird scenes, he will be adding a series of Charleston street scenes to his body of work.

William’s paintings are in major private and corporate collections in the United States and abroad. His painting On Monhegan Island has been featured in several publications including American Art Review and a book entitled The Art of Monhegan Island.

William’s paintings have been exhibited in numerous gallery and museum shows throughout the years. His work has been shown at the Farnsworth Art Museum in Rockland, Maine and at the Coos Art Museum in Coos Bay, Oregon, where he won a Merit award in the 12th Annual Maritime Art Exhibition. Additionally he has been a part of several Marine Masters Exhibitions in Mystic, CT and Thomaston, ME and the 26th Annual International Marine Art Exhibition at the Maritime Gallery at Mystic Seaport.

William was the resident artist for MBNA America for 9 years, where he painted many of their properties around the world. His works were reproduced and featured on the company’s quarterly stockholders report covers. Although well-known for his maritime paintings during the MBNA years, he was very fortunate to have a wide variety of commissioned projects, ranging from portraits to paintings of antique cars, yachts, homes, horse races, just to name a few. All of these projects contributed to him becoming the versatile artist he is today.
