August Artists at Kent County Public Library

Opening Reception: The Wonderful World of Children: Watercolors of G. Warren Sears

Saturday, August 6  |  11am-1pm

North County Branch

Deborah D. Reilly presents an exhibit of the watercolors of the late G. Warren Sears.  This collection of watercolors, painted in the mid-1990s, was inspired by the artist’s observations of the ways young children experience the world.  His young grandson, Frankie Warren Sears, was a particular inspiration for these paintings.

Warren was a gifted artist, musician, and author.  He served in World War II with the Navy School of Music aboard the USS Honolulu. He enjoyed playing saxophone, singing, writing, recording music, and painting. Until he was 91, Warren continued to participate in book tours and shoot pool with his friends.

Join Ms. Reilly on Saturday, August 6th from 11am-1pm at the North County Branch to view the artwork and learn more about the artist who was like a father to her during the nearly six decades she knew him.  This exhibit will remain on display at the North County branch through the month of August.
