Westport Book Shop Welcomes September Artist Photographer Jerri Graham

The following announcement is from Westport Book Sale Ventures, Inc.:

WESTPORT, CT — The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome local photographer Jerri Graham as guest art exhibitor for the month of September at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place.

Jerri is exhibiting a series of photographs showcasing the beauty and the bounty of Westport’s Wakeman Town Farm.

Jerri’s exploration of photography began as a young girl, when she learned how to use darkroom equipment with her father, and they experimented with developing negatives and light. “I learned control: Control of skill, equipment, timing and ingredients, so perfectly woven to create images,” said Jerri.

Jerri’s photographic works will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through September 30.

Westport Book Shop, a nonprofit used book store, is downtown Westport’s only source for gently used and antiquarian books, vintage vinyl records, CDs, DVDs and audio books. It is located at 23 Jesup Road, right across Jesup Green from the Westport Library.

The Book Shop’s “Drew Friedman Art Place” is an area of the store dedicated to exhibiting the work of community artists year-round, on a rotating basis. Miggs Burroughs, a Trustee of the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center, and a founding member of The Artists Collective of Westport, is curating these exhibits, which change monthly.

The art exhibit is open to the public during the Book Shop’s business hours: Tuesdays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sundays from Noon to 5 p.m. (closed Mondays). All artwork on display is available for purchase.
