Davis, who will celebrate 50 years of marriage to Phyllis
Wenger ’66 Davis later this year, taught history for 34 years
in the South Bend Community Schools, then served as pastor
of Church of the Brethren congregations in Warsaw and
Nappanee for another 13 years.
His artist’s reception and talk from 3 - 4:30 p.m., May 25 will
coincide with Alumni Days. His show will be on exhibit from
May 13 to Sept. 2 in the Link Gallery on the North Manchester
campus, then move to Gallery 101 on the Fort Wayne campus
from Sept. 16 to Dec. 12.
The photography of Jim Davis ’67 will be featured as part of
Manchester’s Alumni Series beginning in May. Davis, a retired
educator and pastor, traces his passion for photography back
many years. But it wasn’t until he discovered that once-rare bird
species such as bald eagles were making a comeback in Indiana
that he also discovered a passion for photographing birds of prey.
“A person cannot be successful at bird photography without
becoming something of an environmentalist,” says Davis.
“I record what I see in the wild with the hope that my
grandchildren and great-grandchildren will be able to see and
experience what I have seen and experienced.”
Now Davis pursues photos of bald eagles, as well as great blue
herons, sandhill cranes, egrets (pictured here), pelicans, unusual
ducks and more.
The works of Judy Wenig-Horswell will remain on exhibit in Gallery
G on the upper level of the Jo Young Switzer Center until Sept. 18.
She is a retired Goshen College art professor whose media include
paintings, jewelry, metal work and clay sculptures.
The works of fiber artist Cynthia Lockhart can be seen now in Gallery
101 on the Fort Wayne campus. Lockhart teaches in the University
of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art and Planning.
