Anything Goes Again, Annual Peach Festival exhibit is on display from July-August
Taking Orders for Custom Commissions
After receiving many inquiries, I’m using the last few weeks of summer taking orders for custom commissions. If you are interested in watercolors, mixed media, paintings, charcoal drawings or underglaze painted tiles before the Christmas rush, please email for pricing. Although my exhibition work is black and white, I have a love of over abundant candy-like color. (Some photos are by my patrons with their models.)
Asheville Art Museum full color catalogues are ready for preorder!

With the date pending for the grand reopening of the museum, I’m anxiously awaiting the official reception date for Appalachia Now! To give you a taste so you can “hold your horses,” preorder the full color catalogue now to support the arts.

New Works are in Production
I’ve returned from taking students to the British Isles and am in mad production mode for the Appalachia Now exhibit. Works currently being produced are actually for the gift shop since works for the exhibition we’re Juried in. This is my first attempt at plates in a long time so I hope that all fires correctly. In the meantime, here’s a sneak peak of new plates of southernisms:
Stay Tuned: Site Under Construction.

Below are my newest carvings related to the deep south (USA) including my interests in travel, southernisms, musical influences from my home state of Tennessee, stereotypes/misconceptions, etc. The works have not been fired yet due to the fact they have to go through long maturity, compression, flipping, carving, and drying phases.

I'm flattered and humbled to have been able to share a night of art talks at Waterworks with a retrospective of Ben Martin photos and Susan Lenz fiber works. I'd like to give a HUGE thank you to Anne Scott Clement, all of the Waterworks staff and Board members for all of their help and support. I'd also like to thank all those that came to the reception and enjoyed the show. |
