Red Reptealian Pot, 1986
sculptural ceramics
5.5 x 12 x 5 in
Signature: signed lower right

I use juxtapositions of reptilian and botanical shapes, textures and colors to create decorative pottery and ceramic sculpture. Misinterpretations of those shapes and textures, and colors in the natural environment due to camouflage, and in identification guide books illustrated without the use of shading and perspective create illusions which reinterpret three dimensionally.

Visual and verbal puns are frequently formed in the visual art and in the tiles.

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.
