Corrie McCallum
Corrie Parker McCallum was born in Sumter, South Carolina, in 1914. She attended the University of South Carolina in Columbia, SC from 1932-36, where she first met her future husband and fellow artist, William Melton Halsey. They both moved on to the Boston Museum School of Fine Art. In 1936, McCallum was offered an opportunity to direct a gallery space for the WPA/Federal Art Project. The couple decided to get married and travel and study together. Mexico provided the two artists with a totally different cultural experience, a more primitive experience where they traveled the countryside drawing and painting. In 1941 they returned to the U.S. to live in Charleston which would become their life-long "base of operations" even though their travels were just begining. She was a founding member of the Charleston School of Art as well as the the Guild of South Carolina Artists in 1950 and also taught art at the College of Charleston in the 1970’s. Sold works:
