Summer Art Show

Artist: Roger McAlister

Exhibit runs from
June 20 – Sept. 27
Open to the public.

 Roger's works on paper are still life drawings of common objects on tabletops.  The objects are very recognizable as pieces of fruit, bottles, knives and plates.  It is the rendering in pastel of the light, space and color in the drawings that creates a sense of memory of the objects rather than a real version of them in the drawings.


Roger McAlister graduated from the University of Iowa where he studied sculpture, printmaking and drawing.  He has shown his work in Galena and Chicago and is represented in private collection across the country.  He and his wife Angela live in Galena IL.

STONE HOUSE POTTERY & GALLERY
Built in 1876, the building that houses the gallery was once a booming brewery in Galena in the late 1800s. Purchased in 1971 by Charles and Sandy Fach, the buildings and property have been restored to near perfect condition. Housing a contemporary art gallery, pottery studio and Bed & Breakfast, Stone House Pottery & Gallery has much to offer visitors. Gallery openings, demonstrations and 2-day Glaze & Graze adventures are bound to keep participants entertained.
