Built in 1905, by Union civil war veteran, Colonel Wm. Rice Milward Sr., the historic building has served in Lexington families as a funeral home for 106 years. Darrell Ishmael
 Darrell utilizes natural materials such as Kentucky coal, Kentucky River sand, and limestone. Rich colors and depth are achieved by multi-layered acrylic glazes filtered through the fissures of a textured surface. Darrell grew up in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky surrounded by the rural landscape and a family of creative artisans- painters, quilt makers and textile artists. This background was the basis for the artist’s current passion for earth colors- black coal, the sienna of clay, golden tobacco, limestone grays, sandstone creams and textures associated with nature.
Darrell graduated from the University of Kentucky and studied at The University of Hawaii. Largely self-taught as an artist, he has exhibited in numerous shows, both solo and group, and has work in private and commercial collections nationwide. www.iamishmael.com
