Michael Garland featured in new show at Front Street Gallery
The Front Street Gallery is excited to present the recent paintings of
Michael Garland, with an opening reception Saturday, May 22 from 5 to
8pm. The show will run through June 20. On Wednesday, May
26, Garland will conduct a special gallery talk regarding his work at
6pm. The Front Street Gallery started in April in Patterson, NY,
and for its second show will feature the work of a local resident with
a worldwide following.
Michael Garland is an internationally-known artist, illustrator and
author working in a wide array of styles. A writer of
best-selling children’s books, he has illustrated for authors James
Patterson and Gloria Estefan. His recent paintings in oil include
landscapes of the Hudson and Harlem Valleys, and still-lifes.
Garland has received commissions for Forbes, Fortune and Newsweek
covers; he has illustrated everything from postage stamps to
billboards. Michael Garland is currently working on his
twenty-sixth book as author and illustrator. His newest book, Miss
Smith and the Haunted Library made the New York Times Bestseller list.
The Front Street Gallery is directly across from the Patterson Metro
North train station, and next door to Magnolia’s Restaurant, making it
an easy train-tour stop, along with the Gallery on the Green, one stop
north in Pawling.
The Front Street Gallery was founded as an artists cooperative and
community resource. The gallery is near the county line, and
Front Street and its artists represent both Putnam and Dutchess,
Pawling and Patterson—communities united by the pristine nature of the
Great Swamp and the history of the Harlem Valley. Group shows and
juried competitions of local and regional artists are being planned for
the fall, and art classes for children and adults will begin in May and
June. Interested students should contact the gallery.
The gallery continues to feature the work of Front Street’s
owner/artists, painters Mary Souter, Gene Cadore and Linda Puiatti, and
photographer Jeremy Wolff. Gallery hours are Thursday 11-3, Friday
12-3, Saturday and Sunday 10-2—and by appointment or chance. For
