Loveland Art Show Returns
A sunny Sunday along the Scenic Little Miami River in Loveland set the scene for the return of the Loveland Art Show. The popular art exhibition, as much a part of Loveland’s fall landscape as the turning of leaves more than 20 years, was missing from the autumn scenery for two years.
“It’s great to be back,” said Loveland area artist Deirdre Dyson.
Dyson is one of the original organizers of the art show which reached its pinnacle with over 80 artists showing their creative talents two years ago in September 2016. She was one of 27 juried artists exhibiting in the 2019 return of the Loveland Art Show. An enthusiastic response by patrons was encouraging to her.

LASM ARTISTS IN THE NEWS!
Tom Post’s love for art goes back to his earliest childhood memories. At the age of 5 he took inspiration from the Sunday comics like Charlie Brown and Beetle Bailey. Later, it came from Disney and the Hanna Barbera Characters. In his high school years, inspiration came from the movies. By the age of 17 he was creating 12’ window graphics for the theatre to promote their current movies, like Star Wars, ET and Creep Show.
He has a BFA in fine arts from the Columbus College of Art and Design and has been a freelance illustrator since 1987. His clients include P&G, Chiquita, and Kroger, along with numerous agencies throughout the Cincinnati and Chicago area. His portfolio includes package illustrations for Old Spice, branding art for Warped Wing and MadTree, and TV storyboarding for Airheads Candy, to name a few. Post also designed murals for ArtWorks and Sam Adams Brewery including “Cheers to Cincy, Past and Present!” and the upcoming summer 2022 extension.
When he’s not telling a story for his clients, he’s pushing himself in his fine arts telling his own story. He resides in Cincinnati, OH, with his high school sweet heart, Ann, and their two beautiful children. His art can be seen at the Raymond Art Gallery in Hyde Park and Green Acres in Indian Hill.
