May shows during an artist’s re-
ception on Last Thursday, April
26 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Works by Brad McLemore,
Reed Clark and Ralph Davis are
the main and featured attractions
for the month.
McLemore’s ceramic sculp-
tures are made of stoneware and
porcelain clays imbued with ash
and atmospheric deposit from fir-
ing in wood fueled kilns.
Clarke is an oil painter who
concentrates on faces. He por-
trays people in order to show their
unique presence, but also to allude
to the underlying mystery of what
it means to be human.
Davis is a painter who is in-
terested in the combination of the
hard-edged otherworldly formali-
ty of the geometric figure.
Ralph Davis’ geometric constructions convey a sense of discovery.
All proceeds leftover from the Joyce
Washington Classic basketball game will be
