The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome local artist Erin Nazzaro as guest exhibitor for the month of June at the Book Shop’s Drew Friedman Art Place.  Erin will be exhibiting several of her vivid acrylic paintings on canvas.

Erin says she is inspired by her travels throughout South and Central America, Mexico, Portugal, the American Southwest, as well as her origins in Connecticut.  “I am especially drawn to the Spanish culture because of its vibrancy and color. I paint the people, the landscapes they live on, the animals on these landscapes and the birds that surround them all,” said Erin.
