I went to Martha's Vineyard today to visit Nancy at the Shaw Cramer Gallery and Zoe at Riley's Reads book store.

In August my original artwork from Ocean Counting Odd Numbers will be on exhibit at the Shaw Cramer Gallery and I will have a book signing at Riley's Reads. Additionally, I will be the featured artist for Vineyard Style Magazine's August issue. More info and dates to be announced.
Kirkus Reviews
Bersani's illustrations are breathtakingly lifelike. Readers will almost be able to feel the bumpy starfish, the sharp edges of the razor clam and the curious rough-softness of the sand. The colors and textures give each scene an amazing depth. Considering the 50 items readers will need to count at the end of the book, she does an excellent job of keeping them as separate as possible.
Publishers Weekly
After exploring the water's depths to the tune of ABC in Ocean Alphabet, Jerry Pallotta and artist Shennen Bersani now tackle 1, 2, 3 (or rather, 1, 3, 5) in Ocean Counting: Odd Numbers. From one Striped Bass all the way to 49 Smelts (and then 50 Blue Sharks, with a caveat), the salty scenes are alternately serene and menacing.
Booklist:
Bersani's mostly realistic colored-pencil illustrations are pleasing in both palette and composition.
While on the Island, my friend John cooked me a delicious fresh piece of haddock for dinner. My hat's off to you, John, I'll admit it - you are a better chef than I am. Thank you!
