February 11, 2008 Meeting.

Guest Presenter: Ric Standridge

A native of Greenville, Standridge has left his mark in the Greenville, S.C. community as the founder of South Carolina Children's Theatre and as a Recruiting Director for the SC Governor's School for the Arts. His paintings have been exhibited in countless galleries throughout the Southeast and his works are highly sought after by both private and corporate collectors.

Standridge continues to explore new avenues of expression. Ric believes, "that each painting is a synthesis of the varied cultural influences that have shaped my own consciousness. These influences are entered into my paintings; the order and the complexity that results is intended to convey a simple message: reverence for life and the human form and spirit".

Ric's presentation was entertaining and invigorating! Enjoy the pictures.
