Peter Allen holds one of this newly created masks, titled Lenny Blushes Easily, which is on display with several of his other ceramic masks in his exhibit called Faces only a Mother Could Love, at the Hub on Ross Art Gallery. Allen started creating masks in 1986 as a way to help his students understand facial expression, caricature and portraiture. Faces only a Mother Could Love runs throughout May at The Hub on Ross Art Gallery, with the artist reception today from 4 to 6 p.m. Call the gallery at 403-340-4869 for more information.
