Welcome, This book is a collection of drawings from my many sketchbooks, which I wanted to publish and dedicate to the borough I love - Beautiful Staten Island. Each sketch in this book was created on location, from life. Location sketches are designed to capture the immediate feeling of the places. The lines are spontaneous and quick. Some drawings were done in color, some in black and white. Materials used were pens, markers, watercolors, and colored pencils. This book is made possible by a DCA Premier Grant from Staten Island Arts, with public funding from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

The places illustrated include:

Wolfe’s Pond Park Stone House at Clove Lakes Midland Beach FDR Boardwalk Cedar Grove Beach Turtle Fountain Verrazano Bridge Eggar’s Ice Cream Main Street Coffee Piece-A-Cake Sips + Maker Snug Harbor Chines Scholar’s Garden Harbor Eats Firefighter Statue Neptune Fountain Silver Lake Park Urby Royal Crown Staten Island Mall Jacques Marchais Museum of Tibetan Art Staten Island Zoo Conference House Park

Thank you for getting this book, I hope you enjoy it!
