Interdisciplinary Artist & Owner, 4P Studios
Regina is an interdisciplinary artist and owner of 4P Studios in Martinez. She’s received awards and recognition for works in photography and ceramics. Her passion for art began at an early age while attending art camps right here in Augusta, GA.
While attending Augusta State University; three revelations were made: she wanted to share her love of art, educate the community about the importance of purchasing artwork from and by their local community of artists - not sold in a 'big box' stores, and help other artists find a place to hone their skills with access to equipment and tools necessary to explore creative mediums and find creative solutions for artists to exhibit their work.
Artists work unusual hours - the creative “nudge” can strike at any hour, and thus the idea for 4P Studios was born! The idea for an open art studio is continuously evolving in an “organic” manner to meet the needs of local artists and art enthusiasts. Starting small, with plans for expansion, Regina hopes to serve the art community and curious patrons of the CSRA with a unique studio experience. Beginners and professionals alike are certain to find something for them.
Another way Regina has served the art community is through her involvement with various art activities in the area. Before she opened the business, Regina realized one of her commitments to her art: sharing the love of art with others. She presented workshops and talks at area schools and Augusta University. She has served on a variety of boards for non-profit organizations; art and non-art related. Having served a 5 year term as President of the Board of Directors for Columbia County Arts, Inc., 4 year term as Board Member for Empty Bowl, 3 year term as Regional Representative for Arts Georgia Advisory Council, the Secretary of Alternative Artworks, and serves her alma mater, Augusta University, as the alumni liaison for the Department of Art.
Regina earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Augusta State University in 2012.
She believes, "You don't stop having fun because you grow old; you grow old because you stop having fun."
