Annual Juried Spring Show
Fine Arts Center’s Annual Spring Juried Show and reception was held Thursday, April 25, in the Sheffield Wood Gallery.
The reception was generously funded by Publix. Artists Tom Dimond and Terry Jarrard-Dimond juried this year’s
exhibition. Married for 43 years, Tom Dimond and Terry Jarrard-Dimond have long been sharing ideas, studio space and
a passion for experimentation with new materials.
Tom Dimond received his BFA from Massachusetts College of Art and his MFA from the University of Tennessee at
Knoxville. He is now emeritus professor of art at Clemson University. He has exhibited his works at Clemson, Furman
and Lander Universities, as well as at numerous galleries, including McDunn Gallery (Greenville), Mobile Museum of Art
(Mobile, Ala.), and the Addison Ripley Gallery (Washington, D.C.).
A native South Carolinian, Terry Jarrard-Dimond completed her BA at Winthrop University and her MFA at Clemson
University. She has taught at several colleges and universities as well as in the summer program of the South Carolina
Governor’s School of the Arts. Her work is represented in collections including Coca-Cola International (Atlanta, Ga.),
The Federal Reserve Bank (Charlotte, N.C.), and The State Museum of South Carolina (Columbia, S.C.).
In the Drawing and Painting category, the jurors noted, “All work demonstrated a very effective mixture of concept
and technical skill in handling of materials.” The jurors also commented that, in the Clay category, the work has “very
strong, imaginative storytelling and beautiful surfaces.” The Best of Show work “demonstrated an extremely imaginative
concept within the medium as well as displaying strong skills and craftsmanship. The image is strikingly beautiful and
mysterious with a strong narrative.”
