Every Westport artist knows Jay Cimbak.
He’s the go-to framer at Rockwell Art & Framing (and, for decades before that, at Max’s Art Supplies).
He’s also an avid collector of Coleman lanterns, railroad and other lanterns, and oil lamps.
Who knew?
Today, he shares his passion with our online gallery-goers. Scroll down, for a fuller explanation from Jay of his submission.
That’s the beauty of this feature. No matter what you choose — and whether you’re a first-timer or old-timer — we welcome your submissions. Watercolors, oils, charcoal, pen-and-ink, acrylics, digital, lithographs, collages, macramé, jewelry, sculpture, decoupage, needlepoint — we want whatever you’ve got.
Age, level of experience, subject matter — there are no restrictions. Everyone is invited to contribute.
Email it to 06880blog@gmail.com. Please include the medium you’re working in — art lovers want to know.

Untitled — Photographer Jay Cimbak writes about one of the old lanterns he collects: “As we go into warmer weather, I thought this would be a good submission to remember colder days. If anyone would like to add to my collection of gas lanterns and oil lamps, I never pass up a donation.”
