Two Homewood Artists' Work On Display At Park Forest Art Fair

PARK FOREST, IL — Two Homewood artists will be exhibiting their work in the 64th Annual Park Forest Art Fair this weekend.

Terence Travis, who paints with watercolors, said he gets his inspiration from his faith, family, and passion to create.

“Through the visual imagery I create, I desire to inspire, provide hope, and even give a few laughs to bring more light to life,” he said in a statement.

Rose Lyons draws. Lyons said she began drawing people’s houses and eventually began to draw in downtown Chicago. Because of the highly precise and detailed nature of her drawings, many people believe that she photographs the buildings and returns home to draw from the photographs. Rose does not own a camera.

This year, 23 new artists will be exhibiting their works. The artists use a variety of media, including oil, acrylic and watercolor painting; photography and printmaking; and wood, glass and fiber arts.

The Tall Grass Arts Association Gallery will be open on both days of the fair. The gallery, gift shop and art fair are open to the public, free of charge.

The art fair will be held on Saturday, Sept. 21 and Sunday, Sept. 22 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the Village Green in downtown Park Forest. It is located between Western Avenue and Orchard Drive, and Lakewood and Indianwood Blvd.

On Saturday, the Village of Park Forest will host a music fest. On Sunday, the folksingers known as Patchouli will perform. There are food vendors and a Kids Art Alley. For more information, call the gallery at 708-748-3377 or check the Tall Grass Arts Association Facebook page.
