The first weekend this November was my first time participating in the local Metropolitan Arts Council's Open Studios Event. I had 460 visitors to my studio and many wonderful conversations about my work! Sleeping Beauty and Hatsheput (still in progress) were on display and I got many interesting reactions, I love what I do!
Since my studio is located at the Mill in Taylors, there were many other artists grouped in the same place. Visitors were able to see a variety of artist, very convenient!
I also had the honor of having two wonderful local musicians play during the event as guest artists! Lynne "Clide" Holcombe, a wonderful songwriter and banjoist and Rex Akins of Morgan of the Pines! Please check out their wondrous music.

Open Studios is a wonderful opportunity for people to come see the way artists work. If you haven't participated as an artist or a visitor already, I highly suggest it! MAC is also hosting a wonderful exhibition, All Squared Away, in their headquarters downtown that includes most of the participating artists. that show should be up till December 6th. It's a great retrospective of local Greenville upstate artists and I highly recommend it!
If you miss out on open studios this year, do not fear! Myself and many other local artists, also participate in First Fridays! From 6-9 every first Friday of the month.
