West Davenport Sisters Debut Artworks At Metropolitan Community Church Gallery
West Davenport native sisters mix it up with art and photography this month!
The West Davenport Arts Council, in conjunction with Metropolitan Community Church of the Quad Cities (MCC QC), is hosting a wine and cheese art exhibition for local artists Camryn Clark and Blaire Doxsee on the evening of Wednesday, August 25th, from 6-8pm . Light refreshments will be served. These artists’ exhibition opens that night and will be on display at MCC QC, located at 2930 Locust St. in 
Davenport, through the end of September.
Camryn says, “I’ve been making art for what feels like my whole life. From elementary school, all the way to high school, I was doing art shows, and even was granted a small scholarship from QC Arts my senior year. This year, at 22, I was a part of an Art Auction for Clock Inc. I can’t tell you where it all began, but I just hope my art inspires others to create. Art doesn’t have to be something with a start date. If you wake up tomorrow and want to pick up painting, PICK UP PAINTING. Inspire to do something new, and do it for so long that you forget the start dates. Do it so long that you love it. Do it so long that you inspire someone.”
Blaire states of her work, “I’ve been taking photos since 2009 in my last year of high school and fell in love with taking portraits. I have an online portfolio and my work can be found on my Facebook page. Stylized portraits are my favorite because I can use my creativity and make my vision come to life. I’ve done countless weddings and many family portraits. I’ll be displaying some of my favorites!”
This exhibit is the third in a series of “4th Wednesdays Art Receptions” hosted at MCC QC. The West Davenport Arts Council Gallery Wall and MCCQC’s permanent art displays are open to the public on Wednesday evenings from 5:30 – 8pm, Sundays from 10 AM – 1 PM and by appointment either through the Artist in Residence or the Pastor.
