Andrea Boff presents her illustrations for the children’s book Do You See What I See? at an opening celebration and book signing on Friday, July 3, from 3 - 7 p.m., at Salt Pond Studio, in Friendship.

Do You See What I See? is written by Tracy Weldon. The gallery will display both original illustrations as well as large framed giclee prints of the book illustrations.

"These works are fabulous for inspirational décor in your child’s room," said Salt Pond Studio, in a news release. "Both boys and girls will be delighted with these playful images inspired by the engaging text of this marvelous book."

The gallery will also display paintings by artist/owner Pam Cabañas. 

Boff has recently settled in the fishing town of Friendship, Maine. She is a critically acclaimed painter, illustrator, and designer known for her vibrant, energetic, and rhythm-filled compositions, according to the news release. Classically trained at Carnegie Mellon University, Boff initially built a career designing computer graphics for major market television, now she has fully transitioned to fine art. Boff's artwork uses convoluted landscapes that draw viewers into intimate and secret storylines. Her signature style weaves together macro and micro details, developing a colorful and playful narrative.

"Boff’s works have been featured in notable galleries stretching from California, to Philadelphia, Boston, and North Carolina and now we get to enjoy her fabulous children’s book illustrations here in Maine," said Salt Pond.
