A Year in Projects: CHARLES W. MORGAN LAUNCH

On Labor Day weekend my joint show, with the Dalvero Academy, at the Mystic Seaport came to an end.  The theme was about the history of Mystic and the restoration of the Charles W. Morgan (the last surviving whaling ship). The show had been up for over a year. It was honor to share a show with so many incredible artists and to be part of the seaport’s exhibits.

Watching the ship transform and be rebuilt was an amazing process to see witness. In July, the restoration reached the point where the Morgan could be launched back into the water. Dalvero was invited to witness and draw the event in the VIP section. Here are some drawings from that day.

Dalvero Mystic Show

I have the tremendous honor of being part of an art show put on by the Dalvero Academy at the Mystic Seaport in Mystic, Connecticut along with 23 other amazing artists. The show features drawings, paintings, sculptures, animations and more all inspired by the history, and environment of the Mystic Seaport and the Charles W. Morgan; the last surviving whaling ship from the 19th century. The show opens on April 28th and will be up for several months. I encourage you all to check out it out.
