The Artist Speaks: Shay Herring Clanton
Shay Herring Clanton, a former resident of Hatteras Island, will be here from the mountains of Virginia to speak at the opening of her art show at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation on Kitty Hawk Road. Her work is in watercolor and mixed media and includes some pieces from a recent trip to Buxton Woods. Shay was an art professor at Mary Baldwin College and she paints in the field attempting to capture the changes of light that evoke the spirit of a place.
As an added attraction, Shay’s sister, Lucinda Herring, will give the talk during the service that day on her work as a green funeral director and a home funeral consultant and guide. She will share the gifts of families and communities reclaiming the sacred task of caring for their own dead, and making choices at the end of life that care for each other and the earth, in more conscious, ecological and healing ways.
The service starts at 10:30 a.m. and the art talk starts at 11:45 a.m. There will be a reception with refreshments in between and all are welcome to attend.
Call (252) 202-9894 for more information.
