Hope by Ron Warford, 40' x 30 " Graphite on Black Board, Framed
Mr. Warford's work was selected by the Smithsonian Institution for a national traveling exhibition in 1973. He was one of the initial founding and teaching members at the Folk Art Gallery in Syracuse. His work spings from his imagination and is masterfully executed. Tel (315) 391-5115 for more info or to purchase. One of the presidents of a local art guild referred to Ron's work as "master works" for their power and quality.
Strength , by Ron Warford. 20 " X 30"
Home is Where the Hearth Is by Jaws. This piece took 600 hours. Amazingly, to produce this the artist had to put the snowflakes in first on a white fine piece of paper and then build everything around it. Think about it - this amazing work, and other pieces of the artists work can be seen at CNY Artists Gallery, which purchased this piece in 2013.

Hamilton NY's Metamorphosis Into 21st Century
Central New York artist, I have a personal connection with the
Colgate University Bookstore. When I was a little girl, back in the 1960s, the second and third floors of the bookstore were apartments and I lived in two of them at one time or another. I remember sleeping through the fire siren blaring from across the street from the first apartment. From the second apartment I could watch the sign man putting up the letters on the marquee above the movie theater, making me the second person in town who knew what would be playing that week.
Both Hamilton, NY, and Colgate University have gone through many stages of change—always reinventing themselves to adjust with changing times. In the 1800s, hops were king in the area and in the 1900s, the dairy industry explo
In 1895, a huge fire destroyed most of the Hamilton’s business district; however, the village rebounded back better than ever and saw great economic growth which was a good draw for Colgate University. However, times change and by the beginning of the new millennium, Hamilton’s business district resembled a western ghost town. Something had to be done, and done quickly to save our town.
Colgate University stepped in to meet with local community members, and out of that meeting the Hamilton Initiative was born. The first thing they did was to turn the old 25,000 sq. ft. Vantine Studio into the Colgate University Bookstore. This was a brilliant move both for Colgate and the town; it made the bookstore more accessible to everyone and gave the village a much needed face lift.
The old Palace Theater was another huge project which was no small feat, as for many years it existed as a garage (my mother paid $10 a month to park her car there in the 1960s). This led to more renovations and before long, Hamilton went from a boarded-up downtown to a bustling shopping district with an ice cream store, new restaurants, art galleries and more.
It was with a lot of pride that I painted the Colgate University bookstore and while painting it a lot of wonderful childhood memories were relived. Out of the ashes the Phoenix rose!
