“Beginning with an inclination toward traditional art and choosing art instructors within that idiom, I have developed a personal aesthetic framework that continues my traditional interests and includes contemporary ideas. With equal interest in Andrew Wyeth and Richard Deibenkorn, I hope my work reflects and unifies some of this combination.

With focus on the opportunity for style change in current and future work, I relish the joy of the close relationship between living and painting.”

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.
