Surf Collective NYC Interview

Here is an interview by the Surf Collective NYC. I think it just may be one of the most beautiful and cool blogs I have seen. Their whole site is worth checking out. -Letty http://surfcollectivenyc.com/art/letty-nowak-faces-of-surf/

Outeast Gallery Montauk ReCap

Here is just a taste of Letty's exhibition at the Outeast Gallery in Montauk, New York. The opening reception was last Saturday night and proved to be a large success drawing a crowd to see the new work. Included in this show were not only four brand new Faces of Surfing paintings (Bob Hurley, Aamion Goodwin, Rob Machado, and Bob McKnight), but also some of Nowak's new encaustic pieces which were also viewed for the first time. The exhibition is up until September 6th and a closing reception is in the works for September 3rd from 6 - 9 pm. The gallery is located at 65 Tuthill Road.

Getting Ready for Montauk

The past few weeks have been spent getting the paintings finished, photographed, and shipped for the Outeast Gallery solo exhibiton in Montauk New York. Tweleve new paintings from California will be in New York for the opening reception along with many more of Nowak's paintings. The opening reception is Saturday, August 20th from 6-9 pm and will be up through September 6th. The gallery is located at 65 Tuthill Road

Waterman's Ball 2011

Nowak was invited to the Waterman's Ball last Friday, August 12th, 2011 at the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel. "I was able to meet and photograph George Downing and Gerry Lopez for the Faces of Surfing at the event. It will be an honor painting both of them," says Letty. "It was an incredible experience to be around so many people from all walks in the industry at one beautiful event that raised over $400,000 for charity. Thank you to Paul Naude of Billabong for making this happen," she adds.
