Art & Light - Gretta McCall

Art & Light | Anchorage Exhibition Series

Greta McCall

Art & Light Gallery and The Anchorage Restaurant are pleased to announce the inaugural exhibition in their 2026 partnership series. A solo exhibition featuring work by local Greenville, S.C. artist Gretta McCall will be on view at The Anchorage in the Village of West Greenville from January 6 to April 7, 2026. The Anchorage Exhibition Series brings art beyond the walls of Art & Light Gallery to offer an immersive experience that fuses culinary and visual arts at The Anchorage Restaurant.

Gretta McCall's paintings explore the complex interplay between ourselves and the natural world, moving fluidly between abstraction and recognizable subject matter. Her process begins with an immersive "drawing expedition" into nature. These explorations result in quick, expressive studies of compelling landscapes and forms, which then serve as the source material for her paintings. Her work is driven by the desire to express emotion with the medium, utilizing a love of color to explore endless possibilities and relationships. McCall states, “The landscape has become the subject for exploration because nature has been my refuge, solace and companion since I was a child.  Each painting must have a distinct voice. Through the painting process I become aware of the deep places within me that are becoming a part of the painting.  Life demands that we embody joy and sorrow simultaneously.  Therefore, I seek to reflect this in my work”.  

Join Gretta McCall for an intimate artist talk on Thursday, February 12 from 5:00-6:30 PM. Enjoy a signature cocktail by mixologist Mills Higgins along with Chef Zurkey curated small bites inspired by Gretta’s paintings. Ticket sales are limited with 25 spaces available. Visit The Anchorage to purchase tickets for the event.  While Gretta McCall’s exhibition is on view at The Anchorage restaurant, work included in the show is available for purchase through Art & Light Gallery.
