The Drew Friedman Art Place at the Westport Book Shop

Westport Book Shop is partnering with the Drew Friedman Community Arts Center to feature different local artists' work at the Book Shop every month.

Our featured artist for the month of September 2023 is Maj Kalfus 

Local artist Maj Kalfus is exhibiting several of her digital compositions, created with the use of technology.  Maj explains, “Using my iPad and the Procreate program, I have been exploring the limitless creative opportunities available with digital mediums. I tend to stay with subjects I am comfortable with, taking advantage of the color, brush and line options. David Hockney is my digital guiding light.”

​

For more about Maj, visit our "News" page.

​

Mai Kalfus' artwork will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through September 30, 2023.  All artwork on display is available for purchase.
