I have been taking pictures and studying photography since I was eight years old with an old Brownie. I graduated to a Kodak Duaflex and then in high school to  a 4 x 5 Speed graphic which was used for the school newspaper and yearbook. I used the Speed Graphic in college and finally, in my senior year was able to graduate to a Kodak Retina IIc – a 35 mm gem. During this time, I loaded my own film cassettes and developed and printed my own prints.

One reason I like to paint these dark rides is because of the paintings on the outside of the rides. They are done with a lot of color and movement to attract customers. I also like that they are self contained trucks that unfold into a ride. I enjoy the home made creatures that light up and pop out of the dark rather then the more professional animatronics. I like the cars on the rides and how they move on the tracks. One of the best times on the ride is just as the car pushes open the doors and total darkness hides what awaits inside.

I believe that natural beauty is all around us, no matter where we live. We just need to learn to see, appreciate, and enjoy what I call "beauty in the ordinary". It doesn't need to be an exotic animal or a rare plant, beauty is present in our everyday lives, but we need to change our way of looking for and seeing that beauty.

The Earlville Opera House will be hosting its coveted annual Quilt Show from September 11 through November 13, 2021 to celebrate Central New York’s rich regional and contemporary quilting culture combined with the talents of interested national and international quilters. We invite you to participate!

D. Michael Price is a fantasy artist whose works have graced the walls of hundreds of galleries both nationally and internationally. Well-respected as a successful fine artist as well as published children's book author/illustrator, Michael's works of fantasy art in the acrylic and oil mediums on canvas are sought after by private collectors worldwide. Their extensive detail and magical atmosphere transport the viewer to another realm, and children and adults alike are spellbound by their humor and originality.

For the past 19 years, Kathy Glavin, from Norwich, has been creating all types of seat replacements including cane, rush, splint, binder cane, rawhide, Shaker tape and willow.

This highly anticipated show features new exhibitions celebrating the rich heritage of New York State’s quilting culture. Contemporary and regional quilts will be on display in the East and West Galleries, with featured quilt artist Ron Stefanak exhibiting his amazing quilt talents in the Arts Café, including a Trunk Show (patterns available for sale)! Ron will also teach an “Americana Adventures Quilting Workshop” on Saturday, September 21 from 1-3pm based on his upcoming book “Beyond the Block, Magical Transformation”.

"I take pride in the quality of my craftsmanship. It provides a framework for my creativity and is like my signature.

While my work reflects my training and expertise in industrial techniques, I draw my inspiration from the shapes, balance, and forces of nature."
