CALLICOON, NY — During the month of October and in celebration of Callicoon’s Artwalk, local artist Sharon Spiak will exhibit her romance novel cover art at the Delaware Free Branch of the Western Sullivan Public Library.

Spiak began her career as an illustrator in the early 1980s. Her art has been published on the covers of best-selling romance novels by authors Heather Graham, Virginia Henley and Kat Martin. Each work of art in the exhibit represents a comprehensive creative process beginning with a passage from the novel. Spiak begins with creating  a costume, then hires models to be directed in a photo shoot and finally uses the photos to render the story in oil on canvas.
