This beautifully printed book is a well laid out collection of Washington DC's contemporary visual artists. F. Lennox Campello has done an excellent job of selecting a diverse compilation of talented artists, including painters, photographers, sculptors, and installation artists. Each artist has a two page spread with a brief bio, photo of the artist, their website and several full color images of their work. It is a must have for any one wanting to know what is current in the Washington DC art scene. High marks for this one!

Artist & Author F Lennox (Lenny) Campello's book about the Washington, DC art scene proves to be much more than a catalog of favorite artists. The book has extremely thoughtful and well written descriptions that accompany each artist's work - which, by the way, are beautifully presented. One of the most insightful of the publisher Schiffer Books regional artist reference series, it does a great job of showcasing the visual artists in the Washington, DC area - including works of artists that might not (yet) be in the impressive museums along the Mall.
The book shows Lenny's interest and knowledge of the artists and their respective body of works - which makes the publication SO much stronger.
