Friday, September 13, 2019 5 Brooklin Town Crier Throughout September, library patrons in Whitby and Brooklin can view 30 pieces of art from Brooklin's Berkeley family that will be displayed at the Whitby Central Library. Last summer, only a few pieces were on display at Station Gallery as part of a larger exhibit. At the time, a curator from another gallery who saw photos of the Berkeley boys' artwork commented, " Thank you for sharing your children's art. They clearly have a lot of talent!" Caleb and his younger brother Elisha are the artists whose work will be on display, with Caleb having the majority of pieces being shown. One art collector who indicated that he'd been collecting art for four decades wanted to purchase a piece right away but their mother, Jenny, wouldn't sell it because the family wanted members of the community to enjoy the art for a while. The buyer would not take no and set an appointment to make an offer to buy one in October as soon as they were off the public exhibition. In addition to the art, the Berkeleys are also writers. Jenny Berkeley published her first book in 2012 (as announced by the Brooklin Town Crier at the time). She's published five other books since. Caleb meanwhile has authored 14 books and is the creator of the Adventures of Moshe Monkey and Elias Froggy book series. His goal is to have 20 more published by the end of 2019! Seeing their art on display would be a wonderful way to inspire young children to look beyond their limitations and follow their dreams. You can learn more about the Berkeleys and their art at berkeleyfamilyart.com.
