Painter Jarvis Wilcox Announced as Book Shop’s December Exhibitor of the Month

The Westport Book Shop is pleased to welcome  artist Jarvis Wilcox as guest exhibitor for the month of December at the Book Shop’s Drew  Friedman Art Place. 

Jarvis is exhibiting seven of his small oil paintings featuring nature, landscapes and still  life. 

Jarvis studied art history at Yale University and Columbia University; and studied  painting with his mentor Arthur Stern. Jarvis painted in upstate New York for a decade, and  then in the Hamptons for 25 years. He now resides in Westport, and is a member of the  Silvermine Guild of Artists, and the Artists Collective of Westport. 

Jarvis Wilcox’s artwork will be on exhibit at the Book Shop through December 31,  2022. All artwork on display is available for purchase — and would make a perfect holiday  gift for someone special in your life!
