For four years running, I've been creating a new years image for the prestigious Riverdale Country School, in the Bronx, NY. For 2020, this progressive institution wanted to portray a strong environmental theme. The idea of this community planting a wide array of trees out in the world won the day. In the spirit of Greta Thunberg's campaign to address climate change, this is a wonderful theme for 2020! A special thanks to Lila Locksley for this fun assignment. Below are sketches I submitted for this project.
Samuel Beckett
Here’s a portrait of renowned playwright, poet and writer, Samuel Beckett, born in Dublin, Ireland. This piece was drawn directly on a 1966 road map which my parents used to navigate this beautiful country. This is piece is inspired by a series called World Tour - in which I used pages from an old atlas as canvases - painting images relating to the place on each map.
Signed prints of this piece are available here!
