Dr. Zerric Clinton - Resident Artist

As an educator and artist, I have taught art in the secondary level for more than 20 years. Over my career, I have worked in the classroom to inspire students to become artists. In 2010, I received my PhD in Art Education from Florida State University. Prior to this, I received my BFA in Art Education and my Master’s Degree in Educational Leadership from Valdosta State University. Currently, I teach art education at Dutchtown High School and have been an adjunct professor in the FSU Department of Art Education. I was humbled to be named the Georgia Art Educator of the Year in 2015 and I continue to serve the art association as the President-Elect.

My research is often reflected in my artwork, as it focuses on the way that visual culture influences adolescents. Primarily, I work in a mixed media format using a combination of paint, pen and ink to create abstract representations that feature textured areas of color.

Rose reminisces about her paintings. She has painted from many places in the US. She loved to travel, and often painted her scenes from memory. She is a self-taught artist. We know that Andy would have loved this day, and loved on her and talked with her about each painting. She has her favorites, the seascape in the evening light-- when you look at her paintings, you feel as though you are in the scene.

Rose sees her artwork all together in her first exhibit ever in 88 years. Such talent.

Ms. Rose Houston, painter and and poet, arrives to the Hood Street Art Center to applause and joy! She is vibrant.

Our Story

In early 2015, American Artist and Master Sculptor Andy Davis moved his art studio and gallery from an old cotton mill on Macon Street into an unoccupied hosiery factory on the corner of Sims and Hood Streets in McDonough, Georgia.

Andy assembled an inaugural group of local artists and together they transformed the 20,000 square foot facility into 5 artist studios, a proscenium style theater, a dance school, an art gallery, and potential green space for outdoor events.

By the spring of 2015, they had almost completely renovated the facility. Andy had set up his studio and atrium for birds within the back of the building, and the six artists he selected began working in theirs as well.

And then, on the cusp of the public opening of the center, Andy was killed in an accident while sitting at a stop light on his motorcycle in McDonough. His family drew to his side and he passed away surrounded by his loved ones on July 12th, 2015. A beautiful memorial celebration was held in the center, in which over 350 people attended. So many people came, that we had to transmit the service to the performing art center. We named the Gallery in his honor–The Andy Davis Gallery.
