Kevin O' Hara - Mudslinger Pottery: Pottery, Sculpture and Paintings

Free and Open to the Public
Show Dates: May 22 through July 3

I love to make beautiful things and to help others do the same, be it with clay, paint, pastel or whatever material the creative process calls for. The subject matter I often choose is creating an echo or image of the creation of the Great Creator: landscapes, waterscapes and the human form. I enjoy blending colors and experimenting with color theory, balancing complementary colors and using various brush stroke styles.
