Longtime Tampa artist Charles Greacen leads a conversation about his meticulous, photo-like drawings of iconic structures in the Tampa Bay area and beyond in his book Florida Landmarks, Lodgings and Legends published by St. Petersburg Press. He works with pen and ink in a painstaking style that uses thousands of dots for texture and shading. The works are accompanied by short histories, personal and funny memories, and observations. An article on Greacen and his work appeared in the Summer 2022 issue of FORUM, the magazine of Florida Humanities.

Florida Historian Gary Mormino joins Greacen for a conversation about Florida landmarks and lore. They will share personal narratives and a historical sense of place to this pictorial trip around our state.

Books and Tile Artwork will be available for sale.
Book signing follows the lecture.
