Newport Visual Arts Center

Chasse Davidson, Kara Shapiro, Liz Fox, Phishybee studios, Moe Snyder

The six artists participating in Art on the Edge at the Newport Visual Art Center have diverse styles, but are similarly inspired by nature and find creating is therapy. Kara Shapiro and Chasse Davidson make beautiful, wheel-thrown functional pottery that echoes their surroundings on the coast. Liz Fox hand-builds her ceramic sculptural and functional pieces. Phishybee Studios creates carvings inspired by nature and prints them on hand torn paper. Artist Moe Snyder creates extraordinary boxes, books and other items.  

They will be demonstrating different aspects of their creative techniques in the second floor classroom at the Newport Visual Arts Center, where a community clay education center has been recently reestablished.
