Working with material intersections through ceramics, painting and mixed media, Susan C. Gregory is Charleston, SC-based multidisciplinary artist. Born in Augusta, GA(1974), and with a B.F.A. from Western Carolina University, Gregory combines modern design, Japanese influences, and urban textures in her work. Her ceramics range from functional pottery to sculptural pieces, while her encaustic paintings—layered with wax, oil, and collaged imagery—explore themes of place, memory, and transformation, often referencing her Charleston neighborhood.
Currently, Gregory is developing two new series inspired by a summer residency in Greece, where she reconnects with her ancestral roots and merges memories of her grandparents with her experiences in the life and landscape there. Gregory’s work is in the permanent collection of Western Carolina University and has been exhibited nationally, including at the Lamar Dodd Art Center and Florida State University’s Museum of Fine Arts. A founding member of cone 10 studios and later Studio Union, Gregory is deeply committed to building artist communities and expanding access to creative space.
