The Poet series features Etris’s charcoal and pencil drawings of 12 American poets accompanied by a booklet that describes each poet and showcases an excerpt from the work they produced. This very formal and yet educational exhibit is sure to please those who have a love of the written word and poetry.
With the FACES & SONGS series, Etris gives visual life to the characters he created in verses of songs. Reuben James (recorded by Kenny Rogers) and Lum Crow (a North Fulton resident and great friend of Celestine Sibley’s) are featured. This exhibit is accompanied by a brochure highlighting some of the lyrics Etris has penned.
