Watercolors and ceramics featured

From Oct. 29 through Nov. 23, the Aegis Gallery of Fine Art presents "Watercolors and Ceramic Art Pottery of Starr Davis," an exhibit whose theme explores the sculptural qualities between art and nature, dream and reality.

A Saratoga resident, Davis uses the influences of water, sand and tidal erosion in the textures and designs of her clay pieces. She sometimes incorporates shells in these works. Her paintings are on-site sketches done outdoors, often at the coast.

A reception for the artist takes place Nov. 9 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the gallery, located at 14531 Big Basin Way, #2. Regular hours are 11 a.m.- 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday; and 11 a.m.- 9 p.m. on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. For more information, call 867-0171.
