TOMRROW! Thursday, March 19th:

In honor of Women’s History Month — Thursday, March 19th: Please join us for an historic photography show, "Through the Eyes of Lucy Burrows Morley: A Photography Exhibition” — featuring a segment from the collection of 20th-century photography, taken by Morley during her travels across Michigan, the United States, and beyond.

This exhibition at Sift Gallery, located inside McMillan Pazdan Smith Architecture, is provided by Lucy’s great-grandson, Chris Thomson, together with his daughter, Caitlin Sexton (née Thomson) — the Director of Marketing at McMillan Pazdan Smith and the great-great-granddaughter of Lucy Burrows Morley.
Lucy’s interest in photography began in 1903, when she purchased a Kodak Brownie camera on the recommendation of George Eastman, whom her father had befriended during his travels and later invested in Eastman Kodak. Although she was an amateur photographer, her eye for composition and her ability to capture the moment rivaled that of professional photographers of that era.

Although she was an amateur photographer, her eye for composition and her ability to capture the moment rivaled that of professional photographers of that era. Over Lucy’s lifetime, she took thousands of images of her family and her travels. At the time of her death in 1948, the negatives of these many photographs were packed away and forgotten. It wasn’t until 1973 that her great-grandson, Chris Thomson along with his brother, discovered the photos hidden in a cabinet at the family cottage at Higgins Lake, Michigan. Chris, who was a photography student at the time, took the negatives and made copies to better preserve them. Now, 50 years later, after a 1976 grant to restore, duplicate, and preserve the cellulose nitrate negatives, these photographs can still be enjoyed.

NEXT WEEK!

We hope the snow doesn't cancel our opening, so please plan on "chilling" :0) with us at Sift Gallery...

Thursday, FEBRUARY 5th : Please join us for our first Sift Gallery show of 2026 — one month ONLY — "Celebrating Greenville's Vibrant Growth Through Architectural Drawings” — featuring drawings, sketches, and historic to current scenes of our city.

This new exhibition at Sift Gallery showcases the individual drawings used to make each of the lanterns that decorated our tree for the Bon Secours Festival of Trees, this past Christmas. The McMillan Pazdan Smith (MPS) Greenville Studio team comprised of architects, interior designers, interns, and administrative staff created illustrations of historic and new buildings, tracing the city’s history and development through architecture. Most images were hand-drawn by MPS team members, but a few were also provided by local artists from Urban Sketchers Greenville (recently featured in our last Sift Gallery show for 2025).
