ALEC CLAYTON: POETIC RELATIONSHIP TO NATURE >>>

In his small way printmaker Bill Colby is almost as well established as more famous artists of the Northwest mystic school such as Morris Graves, whom he pays homage to in his latest show at Kittredge Gallery on the campus of University of Puget Sound.

Local gallery goers have seen many of his mostly black-and-white prints in shows at Grand Impromptu Gallery.  In his latest show, Skyward: Works on Paper, Colby shows more colorful works on paper using woodcut printing and acrylic paint.

Colby will be on hand for a gallery talk Jan. 27 at 10 a.m.
