“My pieces are usually formed through an expansion of design and hue; both evolve until the elements relate together to form a unifying and coherent statement. A statement, I feel, should be artistically clear even though the message or underlying theme is usually subtle. I enjoy the combination of compatible media, attempting to interweave and interrelate them until they work as one.

Incalescent Edifice was the first in a series of experimental works combining India ink, acrylics and collage. The subject matter was originally sketched in ink, and the acrylic and collage were added to solidify, intensify, or subdue the forms present. The piece was created from an evolutionary painting process, which grew both in design and color relationships until its completion.”

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.
