Originally from Macon, GA, Greg completed a BFA at East Carolina University in Greenville, NC.
Greg loves to be involved in community education. He was formally an assistant designer in the digital studio at Paramount Show Services. He is currently developing new ideas that have emerged from his experience at Paramount and is in the process of exploring the boundaries between drawing, painting, and ceramic media.
“The transitions from one medium to the next allow a wealth of experiences to choose the solutions for the form and content of a chosen subject. After the transitions are made and an idea is realized, I am left with the bridges that I’ve crossed and the experience gained. The connections that are made when we move across the boundaries of media are a great source of inspiration and momentum for personal growth for artists.”
The vessels that I have presented are forms that represent the rituals that are the journey of searching for the mysteries of dedication, devotion and inspiration through art experiences and process. The works embody the notions of ritual, change and transformation that are present in all forms of matter and life. The atmosphere of the kiln and the intensity of the fire is conveyed by rich lustrous surfaces combined with the rawness of the native clays that are brushed under and over the glaze, giving these vessels the ability to convey to the viewer the constant change that is the ceramic process and an analogy for the changes that are life.
