Sep 27 - Oct 25 Opening Reception for Greg Lewis Photography & Poetry, representational, from 5-8 p.m. for details call the gallery @ 281-528-9474

Mason’s Gallery, 207 Midway Street in Old Town Spring will be hosting a reception for Greg Lewis on Saturday night, October 25th from 5 until 8. Refreshments are provided and there will be door prize drawings around 7. This is Mr. Lewis’ first solo show and well worth seeing. He is working on a book of poetry and photography and some of the pictures being shown will be in that book. 10% discount on purchases for those dressed in costume.
Gregory Lewis was born and raised in College Station, Texas. He is a 1990 graduate of Texas A&M University with a major in psychology. He began his professional career as Director of an adult day care facility that provided care for senior citizens and disabled adults. For the last 14 years he has worked as a Supervisor with the Brazos County Community Supervision and Corrections Dept. (adult probation).
In recent years Gregory had neglected his creativity to focus on his career and domestic projects. 2006 marked the re-emergence of Gregory’s interest in writing poetry and in photography. Years of working in the atmosphere of criminal justice depleted Gregory’s creative juices. He began writing again and taking photographs to rediscover his true self and to reconnect to his inner voice.
The angel project reflects respect for those who have gone before us, but not before imparting knowledge to carry us through. Gregory’s poetry is about his own personal angels. His photographs are representations of the spirits of these angels or reflecting the emotion of the poem.

Oct 26 Kathy Gava will present 23 of her works in a one woman show at Atascocita Presbyterian Church on Sunday, October 26.  There will be an opening reception and the show will go through the 3rd week of November.  For information and directions, email Kathy @ masonsart@sbcglobal.net
