The gallery at West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood is featuring an exhibit by Johnny J. Keane, a painter and illustrator.

The show is primarily about Keane’s illustrations for the book “Zoe Bowie Sings, Despite All Sad Things” written by Jamie Tripp Utitus.

There are 21 large illustrations from the book as well as the rough draft showing the sketching process. Also on display are small portraits in both ink and pencil.

Johnny Keane met Jamie Tripp 10 years ago, and the fellow teachers became friends.
