An exhibition of the "Postal Art & Dream
Drawings" of Philip Carey will be in the Morey Family Gallery in Art Reach
through March 31. Carey's postal art
depicts the adventures of "mini-Philip", phobias, scenes from
dialysis, landscapes, travel and colorful designs. These are created with #10
envelopes, ink, and Prismacolor pencil during his three times a week 3 1/2 hour
kidney dialysis treatments that keep him alive. This California artist has had
many fascinating careers, including as a professional singer, serving in the
Navy, and for 35 years as an exhibits designer/installer at the California
Museum of Science and Industry, and other venues. Carey's work has won many
awards and has been exhibited in California, Chicago, Michigan, and other areas.
