Renowned artist and author Betty Reynolds will read and sign her new book, An Artist’s Journey to Bali: the Island of Art, Music, and Mystery at Darvill’s Bookstore on Friday, July 9 at 7 p.m. The book is a cultural exploration into the mysterious and colorful Indonesian island of Bali.

In her beautifully illustrated artist’s watercolor sketchbook, the author shares her good fortune of meeting many Balinese who allowed her to witness important aspects of their lives and culture, and to participate in the religious rituals that mark their passage through the major stages of life.

Reynolds divides her time between Philadelphia, PA and Orcas Island. Other books by Betty Reynolds include Tokyo Friends and Japanese Celebrations, all published by Tuttle.
