SALT OF THE EARTH, Mary Whyte’s newest exhibition of figurative watercolors, gives us a moving glimpse into the heart and soul of everyday Americans. Presented in conjunction with the 250th anniversary of the Constitution, Salt of the Earth is a poignant tribute to the people of America, and to their remarkable spirt, tenacity, and grit.
From the San Francisco fortune cookie maker to the South Carolina oysterman, Whyte serves up a sumptuous feast for the eyes, depicting not only the diversity of our country’s people, but giving us a sense of their most innermost being as well. Depicted in 26 framed works, as well as drawing done directly on the museum wall, Whyte’s newest vision is a tour de force.
SALT OF THE EARTH exhibition is on view at the Gibbes Museum of Art, May 22 - September 27, 2026.
