Westlake artist's work on display at Clague Playhouse

Roberty Parry's paintings are on display in the Clague Playhouse lobby gallery.

Robert Parry is displaying 28 recent paintings in the lobby gallery at Clague Playhouse located at 1371 Clague Road in Westlake. Robert’s interest in painting started as a young child and continued into college where he received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from Ohio State University. He also took two years of architecture classes before receiving a Master’s Degree in City and Regional Planning, also from Ohio State University. His professional city planning career spanned 44 years with the last 26 years as the director of Planning and Economic Development for the city of Westlake.

After retiring in 2013, Robert has had time to return to his interest in art, photography and fine art painting. He paints mostly in watercolors on imported paper or yupo and has also painted in oils on canvas. His favorite subjects are scenes with buildings such as European street scenes and old buildings.

His talents are also evident in paintings of nature, still life, landscapes and portraits as displayed in Clague Playhouse gallery. All of the paintings on display are available for sale.

The Clague Playhouse lobby gallery is open every Wednesday through Saturday from 1 p.m.-6 p.m. when the Box Office is open. The show runs through Oct. 12. Currently the Playhouse has a production of “A Comedy of Tenors” and the exhibition can be viewed when attending the play.
