Merlene
Byars is no stranger to preserving history. As an artist, publisher and
writer, all that she creates reflects in some way her love for the
state of South Carolina. Merlene belongs to several literary societies
associated with the University of South Carolina. Her fascination with
history and genealogy goes back to the time she was twelve years old.
She has since traced her family back to Adam and Eve through Royal
families in Europe and the Middle East. Merlene has lived in South
Carolina most of her life and received her education in Accounting and
Journalism. She has published five history books and produced a drama
during the Columbia Bicentennial. She has shown her artwork, books and
genealogy at Oxford University and Cambridge University, England, New
Orleans, LA and Lisbon, Portugal. |
