Please join us at Off Track Art on November 2, 2012 at 5:30
in the evening for a reception for our next guest artist, Stanley F. Gilmore,
Jr.
Mr. Gilmore specializes in pen and ink drawings of various
buildings and structures found in and around Carroll County. He enjoys this
medium as it suits the character and structure of many historic buildings.
The drawings are all limited and numbered edition prints
with each subject not just rendered in ink, but many are hand colored with
watercolors as well. A few different subjects other than Carroll County scenes
will be on exhibit and for sale as well.
In addition, Mr. Gilmore has also illustrated two children’s
books for Old Line Publishing, found at Old Line Publishing.com, Amazon.com,
and Barnes & Noble.com.
One book is “The Little Match Girl,” by Hans Christian
Anderson, and the other is “The Birth of Christ,” as found in the gospel of
Luke. These two books will be available for purchase and signing at the opening
of his art show on November 2, 2012.
Mr. Gilmore is now a retired art teacher who taught
elementary, middle school, and high school art for 38 years in various schools
in the county.
He is presently teaching art at the Carroll Lutheran School
K - 8, one day a week, and varied drawing classes in the evenings at the
Carroll Community College in their Continuing Education Program.
He is a graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art
with a BFA in Art Education, 1970, and Towson University with a MS degree in
Instructional Technology, 2000.
“Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective and gallery
