Patricia Elaine Sabree, {formally Patricia Elaine McFadden} is the product of Lake City, a small country town carved from the dark earth, located in the Lowcountry of South Carolina. Sabree and her fourteen siblings spent most of their youth working on the farm. Their parents were loyal sharecroppers who taught their children the value of hard work. This is certain to be what contributed to their strong craving for education coupled with the desire for another way of life. Most of their days were spent stringing tobacco or suckering tobacco (suckering is a process of removing impurities between the full tobacco plant; it could take over the plant if not eradicated). The rows of the tobacco plant, cotton, and cucumber fields gave the impression of no end in sight, which you will witness in many of Sabree's paintings.
Sabree explains that she felt the need to expose these images to the world. Some days she expressed that she can barely put down a paint brush due to the images she sees in her dreams and awakened state. Most importantly, there is a force resonating through her emphatically stating that this is the time... time to tell the visual Lowcountry story that needs to be told. Her style can be best

classified as Expressionism because of the bold brushstrokes, vibrant lash of colors, crossed-sectional patterns, sometimes featureless individuals, bright-eyed little girls, and boys. She is painting a legacy of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, daughters, friends, and the Gullah people's way of life.
"Heaven & Earth" by Sabree is the 2021 Gullah Celebration Featured Art Work.

A play-within-a-play about an ambitious director and his troupe of mediocre actors.
This Tony Award-winner takes a hilarious look at the follies of theatre folk, whose susceptibility to out-of-control egos, memory loss, and passionate affairs turn every performance into a high-risk adventure of pure hilarity. Noises Off captures a touring theatre troupe’s production of Nothing On in three stages: dress rehearsal, the opening performance, and a performance towards the end of a debilitating run.

STEVEN OLIKARA: HOW THE RISE OF MILLENNIALS AND GEN Z WILL SHAPE AMERICAN FOREIGN POLICY
The direction of American foreign policy will prove highly consequential to Millennials -- on issues ranging from climate change and war, to COVID-19 and humanitarian aid. More connected internationally than ever, Millennial leaders entering public leadership are poised to fundamentally reshape foreign policy on these issues, transforming old debates framed by traditional “hawk-dove” and Left-Right divisions. The generations that came of age during U.S. wars in the Middle East, a global economic recession, the largest climate protests in history, and major pandemics will push for bold action to protect the most vulnerable and a new era of global cooperation.
