Potter, illustrator of By Surf and By Stream, worked
as a draftsman at Carthage Marble Corp., Carthage, Missouri, while in high school. He studied architecture at the University of Illinois, Champaign\Urbana for two and a half years before changing his major to Industrial |
|
 |
Administration, in which he received his B.S. degree, using Architecture as his minor. He designed and made renderings of buildings during his study of architecture and took a watercolor course, which was the beginning of his lifelong interest in art. Watercolor has been his favorite medium ever since and he has studied under nationally known Edgar Whitney and Dr. Scorse of Joplin, Mo. Many outstanding
painters and artists live in the region of Carthage and the
Ozarks.
One year Elliott Potter
won the first place purchase award in the annual |
competition
of the Carthage Art Association. His watercolors have been hung in
shows at the Spiva Art Center
in Joplin and recently at artCentral in Carthage, where he has
been invited to give a one-man show. His work before
retirement made good use of his training in architecture, business and
art. When an ideal country lot was finally
located and purchased, he designed the country
home he shares with the author on a high bluff overlooking
a creek and a nearby lake.
