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.

Jay is loud and bold.
Nuthatch perches upside-down.
Finch is clothed in gold.”

Young readers are fascinated with birds in their world. Every Day Birds helps children identify and learn about common birds. After reading Every Day Birds, families can look out their windows with curiosity–recognizing birds and nests and celebrating the beauty of these creatures!

Every Day Birds focuses on twenty North American birds, with a poem and descriptions written by Amy Ludwig VanDerwater and beautiful paper-cuttings by first-time picture book illustrator Dylan Metrano. Interesting facts about each bird are featured in the back of the book.

This book comes out February 23, 2016! It’s available for pre-order at Amazon.
