and vibrant images he creates. The exhibit at the Muchnic Gallery opens with a reception
for the artist Friday, May 16 from 5 – 7 p.m.
Mr. Vanderpool characterizes his style as impressionistic, while others have likened the finished pieces to batik - a wax-resist dyeing method used to create textiles in Indonesia, as well as parts of the Asian subcontinent and parts of West Africa. Mr. Vanderpool counts Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edgar Degas, and Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida among his favorite artists. For subject matter, Mr. Vanderpool draws from his collections of old photo postcards, vintage clothing, antique dolls and old family albums, as well as a more recent interest,
his iris garden. Mr. Vanderpool lives and works in Erie, Co.
