| Introduction | Graduating from West Stanley High school in 1992, Hank went on to North Carolina School of the Arts in Winston-Salem to study Lighting Design and Scenic Design. During this time his interest became more focused on fine art and away from design. His life became focused in the health care industry and earning money from 1998 to 2007. In 2007, he had the opportunity to return to his pursuit in art. 2008 he graduated from Central Piedmont Community College with an Associate in Fine Arts. There he studied more in watercolor and concentrated on ceramics. At UNC Charlotte he is continuing his studies in Ceramics and graduating Fall 2010. His sculptures are focused on emotional and moral ideals and how they affect individuals in society. They are to invoke retrospection in individuals and how they affect the people around them. His current projects are on emotions and how society, politics, family and environment influence our reactions. This theme is enforced by the posturing of marionette forms. |
