May Gallery Night

We're getting ready for the May 7th Gallery Night. Mary Reynolds has outdone herself this time. Her inspiration of Talavera Tile from Mexico shows up in her prints and painted furniture.

Be sure and join us May 7th, 5 - 8 pm

New work by Mary Reynolds will take you

off the map and on a travel adventure

without boundaries.

The most outstanding of Mexico's pottery

traditions, authentic Talevera is only created

in six colors, but Mary's interpretations will

expand the limits of color and design. The show

will feature drawings and prints, polymer clay

tiles and a representative vignette of fanciful

furniture and accessories.
