Artist Info:

Charles Smith is a well-known Mobile, AL, potter who began his career in the early 1970s. He has exhibited all over the country, including the National Museum of American Art in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, and the American Craft Museum in New York City. His most recent work uses bold colors such as black and tan. [Click Here for More Info]

Carmen Lugo is a visual artist who works in mixed media, acrylic, and encaustic. A “mark maker” by nature, Carmen’s work often contains bold lines, scratched and obscured words, and a stream-of-consciousness style of painting. An appreciation of all things fleeting and discarded and gravitation towards evocative color and imagery results in work that often contains themes on impermanence, nature, human nature, and emotion. [Click Here for More Info]
