I was raised on my Grandfather’s dairy northeast of Mauldin, SC in Greenville County where the head springs of Gilder Creek were. There is where I started the exploration of the creeks, rivers, woods, fields and soon found the mountains of upstate South Carolina. I wished that I could convey some of the sights that always seems to lie just around the next hill, brook, or corner. They seemed wasted on me alone. I have wanted to have such visions displayed as I saw them, that others might have that feeling you get when you come across that certain scene or vista that reminds us that the degraded and downtrodden works of God are still beautiful. I think that if art is to be anything, it will come out of an effort to imitate a glimpse of something lost that was once perfection.
