I’ll be at the Lupine Gallery on Monhegan Island, ME on Saturday, May 28th. They’ll be showing original artwork from “Every Day Birds”, and I’ll be on hand to sign books.

Here are some papercuttings and stencil art I made of Prince over the last few years. I’ve been a lifelong fan and wrote about it for The Sound newspaper, and you can read it here.

The original artwork for “Every Day Birds” is on display at Ocean House Gallery in Cape Elizabeth, Maine through April 2nd, 2016.

The artwork can also be purchased online HERE.

Amy Ludwig VanDerwater‘s book “Every Day Birds” is out now. I illustrated the book with my papercuttings.

I’m doing a few events to celebrate the book’s release. The first two are:

Friday, March 11– Jabberwocky Bookshop, Newburyport, MA, 6pm. I will talk about my papercutting influences, show my technique, answer questions, and sign books. Fun fact: I once worked at this bookstore!

Saturday, March 12– Ocean House Gallery, Cape Elizabeth, ME, 1-3pm. Ocean House will be showing the original artwork from “Every Day Birds” from March 12 to April 9. On March 12, we will have an opening reception, and I will be on hand to sign books as well.

“Every Day Birds“is available through independent bookstores nationwide, as well as Amazon.

Monhegan… the Muse: Selected Works from the Lupine Gallery collection

I have four pieces in this remarkable group show, featuring some of my all-time favorite artists. Additionally, my band Tiger Saw will be performing at the opening reception.

Monhegan has inspired generations of artists like the Wyeths, Rockwell Kent, Lynne Drexler, Edward Hopper, George Bellows, and many more. Its illuminating light and beautiful landscape with a working waterfront inspire endless opportunities for artists to paint or create.

CSA is honored to host this exhibition featuring selected works from the Lupine Gallery from Monhegan Island, Maine.

Reception,Thursday, January 28, 5-7pm, featuring Tiger Saw performing songs from their new CD: Horn Hill, recorded on Monhegan Island. (listen below)
