"Few people have impacted the arts in Southwest Ohio quite like Willis 'Bing' Davis.

He works in a variety of media, including painting, sculpture, ceramics, clay and found object art...Today, in his mid-80s, Davis continues to create art, educate others and promote social justice causes in a variety of ways."
