A lover of sea turtles and a steward of the people, Dolly Paul uses her art to support both animals and people in their path. Using mediums like her favorite – copper for jewelry and home decor, she finds that the energy in copper can be supportive to one’s path. Her goal in working with materials as a visual artist, is to have a low carbon footprint while making works that promote a sense of joy and balance for the owner. When she’s not in her studio creating art for the people from copper sculptures and wind chimes to silver jewelry and paintings, she can be found helping others. She was the organizer of Folly Arts for Autism, a Folly Beach Arts Guild event that raised monies for Surfers Healing, and Hooping for the Sea Turtles, a hula hooping event by Faces Are Fun, that raised money for the Sea Turtle Hospital.

Just last week, Dolly became a certified Shoreline Steward through training with Audubon, and will be passing on her knowledge to locals and visitors this summer. She considers her volunteer work an extension of her mission at Low Country Studios which was established in 2004 and strives to use her background in music, complementary wellness practices, and visual art to benefit others.
