<\/a><\/p>\n(Cazenovia, NY – Aug. 2014) Through Sept. 30, visitors to the Cazenovia Public Library Art Gallery will enjoy a remarkable exhibition of paintings and drawings by Cazenovia artist Rick Marchant. The reflections on an old truck\u2019s windshield, the geometric arrangement of Maine row boats, the randomness of fallen leaves on water and close-up studies of cows are all subjects captured convincingly by Marchant.<\/p>\n
Although he and his wife, Anna, are relatively new to the Cazenovia area, Marchant is not new to the world of fine art. He earned a BFA from Wilkes University and taught art at Norwich High School for 32 years, where he was also department chairperson and varsity swim coach.<\/p>\n
During his career, Marchant taught all facets of art \u2013 drawing and painting, ceramics, sculpture and photography \u2013 and personally won awards for his own paintings and pencil drawings.<\/p>\n
\u201cEverything I\u2019m interested in is available here,\u201d Marchant said when asked about Cazenovia. \u201cThe community has many artists, there are numerous opportunities to exhibit, and the architecture is terrific. Moving here was the perfect thing to do.\u201d<\/p>\n
On behalf of the Cazenovia Arts group, the Marchants manage the art display at Dave\u2019s Diner and have met many new friends in the community because of their involvement.<\/p>\n
