Artist Greg Carter considers himself a thing maker. His fanciful sculptures spill from the artist’s intense imagination and ability to perceive a character locked inside such common items as a flowerpot, twisted branch, or discarded pipe. Carter received bachelor of arts degrees in psychology and studio art from the University of Minnesota and a master of fine arts in studio art from Florida State University. His work has been shown in galleries across the South. The artist resides in Raleigh and teaches studio art part-time at the College of Design at North Carolina State University.
