Also Greyson Smith, a Columbia artist, who creates other worldly narratives with his mixed media; private little environments that become very personal to the viewer. There is much to see and experience in his complex and colorful pieces. His materials are mainly acrylic, gesso, and ink on canvas.

Valerie Hawkins primary body of work is done in white stoneware with black glaze and an impressed botanical motif.
