First Blooming, 1969
oil painting
11.75 x 9 in

“I try to keep the surface of the painting alive and moving until its seems to be complete. Most of the visual relationships come from my love of nature. First Blooming was a relatively minor work when done. It is less minor now that my work has changed so much.”

The mission of the South Carolina Arts Commission is to promote access to the arts and support the cultivation of creativity in South Carolina. We envision a South Carolina where the arts are valued and all people benefit from a variety of creative experiences.

A state agency created by the South Carolina General Assembly in 1967, the SCAC works to increase public participation in the arts through grants, direct programs, staff assistance and partnerships in artist development, arts industry, arts learning, creative placemaking, and folklife and traditional arts. Headquartered in Columbia, S.C., the SCAC is funded by the state of South Carolina, by the federal government through the National Endowment for the Arts, and other sources.
