Jobs come to me in the form of written descrip- tions called art specifi cations, or “art specs”. Each one describes the scene and gives dimensions. I do a sketch on tissue paper (It’s easy to correct and transfer onto paper for the fi nal art). Next, I send a copy or download of the sketch to the art director. I do any necessary corrections and do the fi nal art. I always use watercolors or liquid acrylics for this work. They dry right away and allow me to work as small as I like, and in great detail. The vast majority of my work has been for text books. At one time or another I have done work for every major publishing company in the U.S. I have also done some magazine work.

Nicole Lemelin and Kay Stamer, GCCA, Catskill, NY 2017

2018 has seen much to be thankful for in the studios of the Catskill Mountains; much is feeding the spirit of creativity that is released into the atmosphere, enjoyed by the forever-wild-woodlands surrounding the Kaaterskill. But all the wonderment that we are thankful is somewhat reduced this year by the retirement of Kay Stamer who shaped her life in service to the county’s art council; and was a friend and advocate to all artists – even when she had to hold the hard line imposed by the system. Unbridled of any other agenda than to bring the most opportunity to those of Greene County, Kay enriched us generationally and never diminished her vitality to pedestrian commentary. If she is not sorely missed, it is only that it is not yet realized. But it will be. Because no privation of genuine integrity can ever be unfelt, unmissed; and us artists, and children who follow us, will weep as the door closes behind the era that was, Kay Stamer at the helm! Fair tidings sweet Kay! – Terry DePietro ‘18
