Signs of Compassion

  • Westport Library 20 Jesup Road Westport, CT, 06880 United States (map)

 

A lifelong resident of Westport, and full time graphic artist since 1972, Miggs has designed hundreds of logos, ads, brochures, and now websites, for commercial and non-profit clients throughout Fairfield County. He has created award-winning posters for Save The Children, The American Red Cross and Baskin-Robbins, among others. These, along with the Westport Town Flag and an Easter Egg for Reagan’s White House, which now resides in the Smithsonian Institution, are among his more celebrated work. His early Pop Art style paintings and prints were shown in galleries in Boston and New York in the 1970’s, and early assignments in this style included a U.S. Postage Stamp and four covers for TIME Magazine, including the one calling for Richard Nixon’s resignation.

Miggs Burroughs Statement I am intrigued by all the journeys, large and small, that are part of our daily lives; through time, space and emotions. –From here to there and back again, lenticular imagery allows me to explore each experience in a fresh and somewhat intriguing way. During the time spent with these images you will be enlisted as a collaborator, controlling the speed, sequence, and ultimately, the significance of what you see. They will only be as meaningful as the stories you are willing to bring to them.
