Hope and Feathers Framing and Gallery hosts Drawing Inspiration a unique installation and residency by Amherst artist Rhys Davies for the month of June, 2015. Davies transforms the gallery into his studio, turning white walls into working space.

In-progress works will be on view alongside a collection of Davies’s completed paintings, drawings and items from his studio.
Opening reception will coincide with the Amherst Art Walk on Thursday, June 4th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm.
An artist reception will be held on Saturday, June 20th from 4:30 pm to 7:00 pm.
The show runs June 2nd through June 29th.
Davies will be working in the gallery on weekdays from 10:30am to 2:00pm and Saturdays from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.
