Artist: Renwick Price | Location: Newberry, SC
Newberry, SC
Renwick Meagan Price was born in 1983 to Sam and Ann Price of Newberry, SC. Named for her mother’s maiden name, Renwick pays homage to the Renwicks’ long-standing presence in Newberry County as a result of a land grant in the 1690’s. The Renwicks hailed from Scotland via Ireland. The name Renwick comes from the Old English ‘Hraefn’ meaning raven and ‘wick’ meaning outlying settlement.
Interested in art of all kinds from an early age, Price’s parents enrolled her in art lessons from several local artists: Mrs. Funderburk for pastels and drawing; Mrs. Riddle for painting and drawing; and Mrs. Palmer for pottery. There were also opportunities for stained glass and jewelry making. Added to this instruction was her experience at the SC Governor’s School of the Arts Summer Programs during high school. All of these experiences fueled a great love and appreciation of the process of creation.
