Art in Focus
David Lee Csicsko
GUEST ARTIST TALK
Monday, January 27th * 10:00 am
David Lee Csicsko’s artwork, stained glass, and mosaics can be seen in train stations, hospitals, churches, and universities across the United States. In 2012, he designed the Obamas’ Christmas White House.
Growing up in Hammond, Indiana, David discovered his talent early. “When you’re the kid who can draw, everyone wants a poster for the school play, for a poster contest for the Red Cross, or for an uncle who’s running for a union office in the steel mills. I was that guy. I could draw before I could walk. At the age of 67, I’m still at it, constantly looking for new inspiration and projects. I’ll be drawing till I drop.”
David Lee Csicsko’s most recent book, Iconic Artists, is a collection of his stylized portraits of 50 artists. Iconic Artist will be available for purchase in the South Shore Arts Gift Shop.
