A 108 page catalog accompanies the exhibition.  The Introduction to the catalog was written by Mr. Gary LaGrange, President of the Port of New Orleans.  Additionally, Mr. Sean Visintainer, Curator of the Herman T. Pott National Inland Waterway Library,  contributed an article as well as Ms. Julie Dunn-Morton, Curator of Fine Art at the St. Louis Mercantile Library.   The beautiful catalog shows all of the works in the series with my narrative of my time on the water woven throughout.   The catalog is $65 and can be purchased by check or credit card. 

The exhibition at the Crisp runs through June 26th.  The series will be exhibited in St. Louis at the Mercantile Library from February 4th through March 27th, 2017, at the Channel Islands Maritime Museum, Oxnard, CA from July 1st through September 30th, 2017 and at the Evansville Museum of Art, History and Science from May 6th through July 15th, 2018.  There will be additional exhibitions in the Midwest and East Coast to be announced at a later date.
