A little background and a few pictures:
Salt River, "folk singers in the purest sense" (Face Magazine), consists of Lee Hosack, and Mike and Beverly Rogers and Cathy King.  They are based in the seacoast area of Maine and perform traditional and original music reflecting the lifestyle and people of New England. 
 Their folk/blues style is accented by their vocal harmonies and Mike's signature harmonica.  The group's close friendship and love of music are reflected in their performances and on their CDs "...Evenin' Tide",  "Lookin' Back", "Reflection", and the latest release "Comin' Home".
The newest member of the band, Cathy King has played upright bass with Salt River for the past three years, first as a guest with the Trio, then becoming an official member in 2005.

Salt River represented the State of Maine at the 2000 New England Artists Congress in Woodstock, VT.  More recent venues include: Prescott Park Arts Festival (last five summers), Market Square Day, (last seven years) First Night (last six years) and Summer Street Concert Series (all Portsmouth, NH).  Other concerts includes Hot Summer Nights (So Berwick), Kittery and Eliot Summer Concert Series, Hamilton House Series (So Berwick), Chautauqua (Keene and Portsmouth, NH), Kennebunk, Sunapee, Saco and Auburn Coffeehouses and 2001 NH Governor's Arts Awards Night, VSA Arts NH Concerts in several locations.

I'm still cleaning out my portfolios and I recently found a booklet I illustrated once about Religion in the USA. I was living in Connecticut at the time. It was entitled Religion USA and was produced by a company called Happy History, Inc. It's goal was to celebrate the diversity of religions that were present in the area at that time. These are some of the religious symbols I was asked to draw for the book. I thought it would be fun to share these during the Holiday season. I was asked to draw this as a symbol of the Baha'i concepts on the Oneness of Religion. Torah- Judiasm Christian Cross Menorah-Judiasm This symbol- the Crown of Thorns was included in the book as a Christian Science symbol Another pretty Menorah Happy Holidays!
