The Sketch Book of Jeri Wagner, Artist

Why the term Sketch Book in the title of this book and not the term Notebook? Because Sketch Book is part of a book title by Washington Irving who was my late wife Jeri's favorite author and Notebook is associated with a title of a book by one of our greatest authors F. Scott Fitzgerald but not a favorite of Jeri's and this is a book about Jeri so her favorite author takes immovable precedent over all others. Though I should mention that it is a series of random notes more akin to F Scott’s Notebook. Regardless, Jeri was a noted New York artist who worked in wood construction, collage, ceramics, fiber and sepia photography whose works appeared in shows in Chelsea, SoHo, the Village, the Hudson Valley and Europe. She also worked at the Met for 34 years. Enough said.Booklife reports Amazon listing as Number 30 in Museum Studies.Booklife: “Quick reads…passionate,”— Gary A Kulhanjian, Social HistorianRead more
