Pluff Mudd Art welcomes Karen Serafini and Lynda Hawley
Karen Serafini - Resin Sculpture
Karen spent most of her career in healthcare and pharmaceutical research. Her scientific background has contributed to her current passion: resin. This artistic medium actually requires a lot of science: of heat, viscosity, mixing and cure times, which are continually affected by changing temperatures, humidity and atmospheric pressure.
But the true love of her craft is expressed in the selection of colors and design, and the hand-shaping and sculpting of each one-of-a-kind creation. Many of her works draw their inspiration from her surroundings: beaches, sunsets, sky and ocean.
Visit us soon to see these stunning glass-like sculptures.

The Story of the Piano
In 2016, Vickie Jourdan contributed her painting skills to the HHSO League’s fundraiser for the Hilton Head International Piano Competition.
“PianoPalooza” consisted of six pianos donated to the HHIPC and painted by local artists. The pianos were displayed around town, then were moved March 1 to the Art League of Hilton Head gallery where they were available for bidding at silent auction.
A number of our Pluff Mudd partners pooled some funds, bid on, and won Vickie’s piano. It now graces our front porch, delighting many of our customers who sit and play and (sometimes) sing!
Another award for Pluff Mudd: In 2016, local newspaper, the Sun Today, named us "Most Eclectic Gallery". The prior year, the Sun Today, named us "Best Gallery" in their poll. For two years in a row (2014 and 2013), the Hilton Head Monthly Reader's Choice Awards, named Pluff Mudd as "Favorite Art Gallery in Bluffton". We've also received the Best of Bluffton awards (Bluffton Today, 2012 and 2014) as the "most eclectic gallery"! Can there be a more fun place to shop for art? Visit us next time you're in Bluffton and see why Pluff Mudd is a perennial favorite!
