    Sara Bright

    Laura Mesaros Gallery

    Lecture and Reception: October 11, 5pm, Davis Theatre


    A native to rural West Virginia, Sara’s practice is rooted in the elemental, and she works primarily with mediums that utilize materials drawn directly from the earth—fresco and ceramic, both reactive and time sensitive. Her work centers around investigating the sculptural painting through the brushstroke and it’s ability to communicate energy moving through space.

    Paul Mesaros Gallery

    With 25 years of experience working in glass, Rick Schneider's most recent work is a collaboration with his wife Nikki Vahle on pieces drawing influence from their working-class backgrounds, Greek narrative pottery and comic book illustration. Their glass sculptures celebrate working class heroes, as well as the everyday and sometimes mundane activities of life in a sentimental, satirical and irreverent manner.
