Thursday, Aug. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m

Local artist Susan Soper of Clayton and Triangle artist Tricia McKellar of Fuquay-Varina will be featured exhibitors during August at The Clayton Center.

The exhibits are arranged by Clayton Visual Arts.

A meet-the-artists reception will be held Thursday, Aug. 6, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the lobby of The Clayton Center. Hosted by Clayton Visual Arts, it is free and open to the public. Dress is casual and light refreshments will be served-fruit, cheese, cookies, nuts, and punch.

Soper will exhibit lithographs-original prints created by using the technique of waterless lithography or the process of stone lithography. Each print is drawn and hand-pulled by the artist.

She has lived in Clayton since 2003 and was juried into Artspace Artist Association in Raleigh in 2006. She was born in Brooklyn, NY, and raised on Long Island.

McKellar, a mixed media artist, will exhibit textiles and digital art. She was born in Beirut, Lebanon, to American parents, but moved to North Carolina as a child. She has lived in Arizona, Texas, and Virginia.
She is largely a self-taught artist, and her work is part of the permanent collection of Duke Hospital and can also be found in offices around the Triangle.
