Our Spring rotation will be coming to a close next week. Thank you to our local artists Walter Carrick, Pat Durham, and Linda Hall. If you are at the Iron Kettle soon check out our ongoing art exhibits in the front and back rooms. And thanks to the IRON KETTLE for giving us a place to show off some terrific prints and originals!  Buffalo artist, Carol Siracuse, will be the guest presenter at East Aurora Art Society’s June 9th meeting. Carol attended Harvard Graduate School of Design and Princeton. Her architectural career spans practice in Boston, Ithaca and her own Chautauqua firm. In 2001, she moved to Buffalo, NY. Carol retired as vice president at Cannon Design in 2010. Retirement opened the opportunity for her to work as a watermedia fine artist, in her own private studio, plein-aire or on her many travels. Siracuse is a signature member and past president of Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society and also exhibits with Buffalo Society of Artists and Western New York Artists Group. Meibohm Fine Arts, in East Aurora, featured Carol Siracuse’ s work, with three other watercolor artists, in a recent show, Luminance, April 29-May 28, 2022.

Laura Cott, owner of La Cott Fine Art, in Orchard Park, gave an enlightening presentation at East Aurora Art Society’s May 12th meeting. Laura discussed her love of patterns in nature and displayed samples of her framed digital prints and original watercolors. Her intuitive soft focus landscapes paired perfectly with her thin, light maple shadowbox frames. Laura gave a wonderfully detailed, step-by-step demo on assembling a floating mat and then shadowbox framing her digital print of her own original art. While effortlessly fielding members’ spontaneous questions throughout the evening, Cott gave an additional short demonstration, utilizing wet into wet painting techniques in watercolor. Even the veteran watercolorists in EAAS learned some useful new tips through Laura Cott’s sharing of her knowledge via excellent communication skills! It was a well presented and informative program. We felt inspired in your painting and how you present our beautiful artwork. Laura, thank you for spending the evening with us! Photos: by Sharon Bartell, EAAS 
Our May 12 @ meeting starts at 7 pm, but you may wish to arrive early (6:30) to socialize and shop at the treasure table. Our program is by the talented Laura Cott, artist and owner of LaCott Fine Art, a painting and education-based small business living and working in Western New York. Cott grew up in Western NY and graduated from Buffalo State College with a Bachelor's in Fine Arts degree in painting. She specializes in watercolor and mixed media painting, focusing on original paintings, prints, cards, and home decor pieces. Work is inspired by natural elements, celebrating minimalistic design, color combinations, linework, and patterns found in nature. She works closely with other creative minds and businesses in her community to pursue the teaching of the arts while fostering her passion for creating, painting, and making every day. Laura plans on doing one of her signature landscapes or florals, and then a framing tutorial. Don’t miss this exciting program!  For the month of May, one of our members Susan Somerville is the featured artist at the Orchard Park library window display. Stop by and enjoy her colorful paintings soon!  We have over 20 members exhibiting at the historic Roycroft Chapel on the corner of Main and Grove Streets. Take a stroll in the village and stop by and visit us from 4-9 pm!   On Saturday the 23rd, 26 members of the East Aurora Art Society loaned their art from abstract to portraits to landscapes for the spring art show, which is themed “Flights of Fancy“. And fancy they are! The art is colorful, lighthearted and creative! The show continues until June 17, 2022. It is open during the East Aurora library regular hours.
