Rice Culture of the Waccamaw Neck
In this evocative watercolor, Maura Kenny pays tribute to the labor, legacy, and landscape of the Waccamaw Neck's rice-growing past. Layering figures of women at work over a topographic map of coastal South Carolina, Rice Culture of the Waccamaw Neck vividly brings history to life. The scene features women poling bateaux through the waterways, their graceful movement echoing the rhythm of the tides and toil of generations.
Painted in Kenny’s signature fluid style, the piece shimmers with coastal greens, indigos, and deep earth tones—blending geography and memory into a singular visual story. Fine stitched details add texture and depth, anchoring the figures to the land and water that shaped their world. Unframed and full of presence, this original work is a powerful and poignant reminder of the region’s cultural roots and resilience.
