James M. Carpenter Lecture: Steven Weinberg

Steven Weinberg writes, illustrates and makes art all about color! He’s written and/or illustrated fifteen books for kids about everything from backpacking to Timbuktu, to all your favorite home appliances, to the horrors (and joys) of being a middle kid. These books have been translated into other languages; won awards and distinctions; and been called “brilliant” by Dave Pilkey, “thrillingly shameless” by the New York Times, and “guaranteed to fuel read aloud energy” by Publishers Weekly. From his home in the Catskills, NY, he paints mountains and fish that have been featured in museums, galleries, book covers, magazines, hotels, and some beer cans too. And just to make sure he never has a dull moment, along with his wife Casey Scieszka, he owns and operates the Spruceton Inn: a Catskills Bed and Bar. Their annual Artist Residency has hosted more than one hundred artists and counting.

Sponsored by the Colby Art Department.
