In 2005 I was asked the Tooth Fairy question: "Is she real?" Knowing we'd sooner or later get around to Santa Claus, not to mention GOD, I responded with this little dress.
I want more magic than they tell me exists, more sparkling enchanted moments, more mysterious circumstances of good fortune and wishes coming true. And I want this right now and happily ever after. Don't you?
Raised in my mother's studio and my grandfather's workshop in rural Chatham County, Georgia, I had freedom to explore and create with a wonderful variety of materials. We looked at art in museums and beauty in nature. We listened. My mother knew many other artists who also kept a reverent sense of wonder. I am thankful for my teachers in life and in schools: Drew University (BA English), the University of Georgia. (MFA, Printmaking), the Penland School of Craft, and the University of South Carolina Beaufort where I am an Assistant Professor of Art teaching Ceramics, Printmaking, Drawing and Design.
