The Harrison Public Library Presents Art by S.L. Rossi
The Harrison Public Library presents Art by S.L. Rossi, on exhibit from August 3-29. An open reception will be held on Saturday, August 10 from 10 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. at the library. Steven L. Rossi is a self-taught artist working with pen and ink using the stippling method. On occasion, he incorporates colored pens and colored pencils. The majority of his drawings are done in black and white. His artwork consists of a variety of subjects that include sports figures, musicians, celebrities, flowers, nature, landscapes, animals, and miscellaneous subjects. Some subjects are taken from photos he took or from other people’s photos with their permission. He gives credit for the use of their photos.
Rossi was commissioned over the years by a good friend of his to draw several illustrations for the three books he wrote. It was quite an honor. In 2018, he gifted the Village of Port Chester with three framed pieces of artwork to commemorate the 150th birthday of the Village. They are currently on display at Village Hall.
Rossi has participated in several Arts Festivals which included Art10573 sponsored by The Port Chester Council for the Arts, Hops on the Hudson Modern Makers Market in Cold Spring, Fall Foliage Art Festival in Highland Falls, and ArtsFest Artisan Market sponsored by The New Rochelle Council for the Arts. This year he is planning on participating in the Newtown, CT Arts Festival in mid-September.
