“Mod Girl with Glasses, a bronze was made directly from life, first in clay, and then cast by the artist in polyester resin. This cast had silver-leafed boots and glasses. The model was a student at Wellesley College. The work was done initially as a study for a life size figure that was begun but never completed. The year it was made, I was on sabbatical on a National Endowment for the Arts grant. I view Mod Girl with Glasses as a successful sculpture and a strong echo of the youth of the 1960’s, Vietnam protests, etc.”

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.
