Atwater Gallery Exhibit

 

I'm thrilled to be included in a group show at the Atwater gallery in Rhinebeck, N.Y.  The six pieces I submitted are part of a series called World Tour. The drawings were inspired by a dilapidated old atlas. You can read the story behind them here, or see the full collection here. This exhibit will be on display today through May 18th, 56 E. Market Street, Rhinebeck, NY.

Word Works Exhibition

I'm thrilled to have drawings included in Word Works; an art exhibit running in conjunction with the Red Hook Literary Festival. All of the pieces in this group show are inspired by literature, books, and the written word. The five pieces I submitted are part of a larger series called World Tour. The drawings were inspired by a dilapidated old atlas. You can read the story behind them here, or see the full collection here. The exhibit runs until May 12. Have fun at the festival!

This Stephen King portrait was not framed in time for exhibit,
but I'm including it here because of the literary theme of this festival.

A special thanks to Rebekah Aronson for putting together this exhibit.

A Wedding Songbook...

With wedding season approaching, I thought it would be fun to dust off this songbook I illustrated years ago. It was created for the nuptials of a wonderful couple, Sven and Barbara - who are fans of American popular standards. As part of their reception, guests sang and danced to songs by Cole Porter, Ira Gershwin and other greats. This little book helped people follow the lyrics to these classic love songs. A special thanks to Carol Neiley for designing such a beautiful piece - and for supervising the glorious embossed printing.
