A huge thank you to the HPL Friends & Foundation Book Shoppe Team for their time volunteered during the sale itself and for the countless hours of preparation.

This month, our atrium gallery wall features art by Peter Michael Casartelli, a local artist working out of his studio in a variety of mediums, from the delicate pastel to vibrant oils. His primary focus is landscape painting - including urban, rural, and seascape subjects - along with select still-life works. Self-taught from an early age, Casartelli has demonstrated a lifelong commitment and passion for his craft. He uses different mediums to explore mood, light, color, and texture. Artists who inspire his work include Henri Matisse, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, John Singer Sargent, and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
