MAGallery is excited to announce author and retired college professor Jim Halloran will be at the gallery this Saturday, October 26 from 1 – 3 PM for a book signing on his most recent book Baseball: It's More Than Statistics: A Nostalgic Journey Through 120 Years of Major League Baseball Stories, Seasons, Standings, and Forgotten Moments. Please join us for a delightful afternoon with Jim and the opportunity to purchase a signed copy of his book.
Writing about the sport he loves, Halloran captures baseball’s excitement and rich history in his latest book, which is intended for baseball enthusiasts as well as the more casual fan. Jim is a retired college professor and Rollins graduate. During his teaching career, he authored and co-authored nine books about Entrepreneurship for McGraw Hill and Cengage Publishing, including a National Business Book of the Month. Since retiring, he has turned to writing about baseball, the iconic American sport. Baseball: It’s More than Statistics follows his highly acclaimed first book, Baseball and America. When Jim isn’t writing a book or sharing a blog on Substack.com, you can find him leading seminars on baseball. Travel, enjoying nature, spending time with family and, of course, attending baseball games are high on Jim’s list for ‘the good life.’

Molly Lesnikowski’s Artist Statement:
“Born on the Island of Martha’s Vineyard to Bohemian Greenwich Village transplants, I was fortunate enough to grow up in a household that valued art. There was always the interest to talk about, admire, and create art. There was always room to create art. Educated at home and then at Connecticut College and the Art Students League, I was able to pursue art throughout my formative years. I consider myself a decorative artist. I bring more training than most to the medium of painted canvas rugs or floorcloths. Floorcloths and/or canvas rugs allow me to work on outsized projects and out-of-scale subjects. This adds an element of whimsy that I find refreshing. My work is also practical and affordable, therefore accessible to the public. Gravitating to the warmth of the South, I have spent eight years in Key West, Florida, and now forty years in the Piedmont area of Georgia. My husband and I own The Caboose in Rutledge, where I spend a lot of time and energy. Hopefully, from here on out, that will not be the case, and I can paint on into the light.”
