NewsDrawing the Cover of New York Magazine : Reasons We’ve Loved New York
I illustrated New York Magazine’s 16th annual “Reasons to Love New York” issue, a tribute to all the places that have closed this year since the pandemic began. “The cover features illustrations from French visual artist Jeanne Verdoux, who has lived in New York City for 20 years. “It is shocking to see places I went to are disappearing. To me they ARE New York,” says Verdoux. Many of the businesses captured in her drawings are places Verdoux herself is mourning. Places like B Bar, Century 21, Carroll Gardens Diner, and Jeffrey New York, among others. Using an ink brush, Verdoux captured 38 businesses in one week for the purposes of this cover. “I went inside a drawing tunnel with my ink brush and became a drawing machine,” she says of her process. “The drawings are a gestural expression of what I see. Very spontaneous. Little to no edits to the first impression.” December 2020 …………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….. ‘Going Green’ with SaveArtSpace

Prospect Park, The Connective Project I am a contributing artist in the Connective project, a collaborative public art project to celebrate Prospect Park’s 150 Anniversary. The Connective Project “will transform Prospect Park’s Rose Garden into an immersive, engaging and ever-growing field of pinwheels.” The Park worked with AREA4 and Suchi Reddy, who “was very much influenced by the beauty and vision of Prospect Park’s designers Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, who in 1867 transformed 585 acres of rural terrain into the urban retreat that is Brooklyn’s Backyard.” On view July 7-17, 2017 ……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
