Mr. Carr's Background
Tony Carr is a self-taught artist from North Augusta, South Carolina. He works with multimedia and creates both two-dimensional and three-dimensional pieces of art. As an example, Mr. Carr uses copper, creating unique lights and woven metal baskets.
He also uses stained glass, creating one-of-a-kind glass wall pieces and mirrors.
In addition, Mr. Carr has a passion for re-purposing found objects into unique and interesting pieces of art. Found objects may include fossils, semi-precious stones, and antique bottles, which he reclaims and converts into functional light-catchers.
Tony likes to carve the sandstone, native to South Carolina, into interesting and whimsical garden accents which begin to grow moss on their surfaces within a few weeks. Tony also takes broken pottery pieces, made by slaves in Edgefield, South Carolina in the 1800’s, and fashions these pottery pieces into unique one-of-a-kind works of art.
Another area of Mr. Carr's interest is photography. He likes to use his camera to capture the beauty that surrounds us all. His photographic subjects include sunrises, sunsets and anything old, especially old barns, cars, homes and churches.
Mr. Carr has been creating Commission Pieces and selling his work in galleries across the South for over 20 years. He is the former Vice President of “The Arts and Cultural Council," in North Augusta, South Carolina and is also a board member of the “North Augusta Artists Guild.”
Mr. Carr has been featured in newspapers and magazines across the region.
Tony finds joy in creating art and helping to bring art into people's lives. As Tony says...
“I am forever learning and passing on knowledge with the hopes that the differences in people will help them find the commonality between us all. That will truly bring everyone together.”
