American Visionary Art Museum

A couple of years ago I finally took a trip to the American Visionary Art Museumin Baltimore, Maryland. (There is still SO much more of Baltimore that I have yet to explore.)

The museum is fabulous and I highly recommend visiting it!

One of the exhibits I saw was "The Marriage of Art, Science, & Philosophy" featuring, among other artists, Dalton M. Ghetti. Ghetti creates miniature masterpieces on the tips of pencils.



Images of his work are amazing, but seeing his creations first hand is surreal--you can't imagine how they could be created, and yet at the same time, these wooden pencils are so familiar (well, at least to those of us who are old enough!)

To order postcards of Ghetti's work, go to Ghetti's website.

To find out information about current exhibits, find Ghetti on Facebook.
