Hummingbirds, butterflies and exotic flowers inspire the latest work by Pacific Grove illustrator Erin E. Hunter, whose art is on display at Monterey’s Café Lumiere through early November.

The current exhibit includes 20 archival prints made from original acrylic, ink and pencil portraits. The prints were influenced by Hunter’s coast-to-coast travels, including time spent in California, New York, Mexico and Hawaii. Framed and unframed prints will be on sale throughout the exhibit and are available by contacting Erin directly, or at eehunter.etsy.com.

Café Lumiere is at 365 Calle Principal in Monterey, adjacent to the Osio Cinemas. For venue information, call 831-920-2451 or visit www.osiocinemas.com/cafe.htm.
