www.artofcharleston.com In 2017, I moved the studio to Mt.

I am a third-generation Charlestonian, and my artwork reflects my love for Charleston and the Lowcountry. After graduating from the Ringling School of Art & Design in 1989, I returned to Charleston and launched Renaissart Graphic Design in 2000. Pleasant and was honored as the Piccolo Spoleto poster artist. Inspired by Bev Doolittle and Highlights Magazine’s “Hidden Pictures,” I often include subt

When people move house, they make a hierarchy without realizing it.

Some things get donated, some get stored, some make the journey regardless of whether they make logical sense in the new space.

Art almost always travels. It is rarely the practical choice that moves with you. It is the things that meant something. Has that been true for you?

What have you moved more than once, and would "Golden Rocks & The Three Chairs Vertical" make that list?

People sometimes feel they need to be able to articulate why they want a particular work before they are allowed to buy it. That is not how it works.

The attraction does not need a defense. You do not have to be able to explain Flowers See Food to someone who asks; you just have to know it belongs in your space.

The explanation, if you want one, tends to arrive later on its own.

Every work that reaches a collector is the result of many decisions, including the decision not to show what came before it.

The finished work is not the whole story. It is the end of a longer, quieter process that most collectors never see.

When you live with Sunflower Plantation, you are living with the result of the artistic process and all that comes with it.

Interior designers often talk about sightlines. They're the natural path your eye travels when you enter or move through a room.

Most people never think about this consciously, but they feel it. Art placed directly in a sightline changes a room immediately.

Placement is as intentional as the work itself.

Where would you put Peninsula Parking?

I think "Golden Rocks & The Three Chairs Horizontal" could fit into a few different places. Where will you display it?

Rarely does the inspiration for my work come from the title. Typically it’s just the opposite. But when I thought of this pun, I simply had to illustrate it! The image depicts a young family enjoying the final moments of their day at Edisto Beach in the late afternoon, when the fading light bathes everything in golden yellow and amber hues that bring promise of cooler temperatures, calmer waters... and cocktails. It’s truly “Happy Hour” for numerous reasons.

A lot of people hold off on collecting art because they rent and feel uncertain about committing to walls they do not own. But art does not belong to a wall. It belongs to you.

Renting is not a reason to live with bare walls. It is a reason to collect work that matters enough to keep moving (and growing) with you.

"Richard And Mary's" and my other work are connected to the people who love them, not just the places they're displayed.
