History Captured in Color

Bring home an art piece that envelopes the centuries of history from Charleston, SC. Whether national landmark or local secret, every painting holds a unique story meant to showcase the rapidly fading preservation of Charleston.

With a limited number of prints, each art piece is exclusive and comes signed, with a small display card discussing the backstory of the building or scene featured.

These prints are perfect for the hardcore history nerd or the causal persuer of beauty, all hand-painted by a 10th-generation local.

Emily Karis loves Charleston

As someone raised in the city, the centuries of history shaped the way I tell stories. Charleston dually shares the beauty in the architecture and preservation, as well as being a place where 40% of slaves brought into the United States touched down in the country. There is a push and pull in the city, stories begging to be told. Stories that we see even in the last decade, fading out of public consciousness..

I capture those stories before they are gone forever. From vacant streetcorners to towering churches, Charleston deserves to be painted. I’m overjoyed to share each of her stories with you.
