Cindy Snow  Cindy prefers Nature Photography above all other forms.  Her first exhibit was shared with two other local photographers at the historic Tabor Wing House in Dover Plains, N.Y.  “Earths Crammed with Heaven”, became the catapult that encouraged Snow to co-create Eastern Provinces Photographic Society Inc.  An organization that finds local talent and creates venues to showcase there works.   “Student art naturally became a part of our organization, as we searched out local artists, and began to share our work with the community.”  Several successful exhibits later, the organization has begun the process of becoming a not for profit organization.  Snow’s work has also appeared on Green Peas tv.tv, JPG Magazine, and Art East Studio Tour.

Ellie Haggerty  My art was inspired by my love for the Carousel and it’s music. I started in 1991 by making a few band organ facades and rounding boards. Then in between manufacturing children’s lamps for 5 years, I continued my carousel art and also restored 4 antique carousel  horses.      After retiring I went gung-ho and now create all the time.  I have sold a few and did 2 commissioned pieces, but my (claim to fame) :o) 6 pieces were sold to Warner Brothers for the set of “The Gilmore Girls”. I have a website www.Carouselfolkart.com  I must apologize if you visit that I have not kept it up as I should have.


Charlie Rovner
has been an avid photographer since getting his first Kodak Brownie – complete with flash – at age seven. Since then, he's progressed to 35mm and, currently, digital SLRs.   Charlie is a retired computer programmer and currently teaches continuing education classes part time at local colleges. With extra time on his hands, he has become more serious about taking pictures for public display. He specializes in outdoor scenes and floral close-ups. The perfect flower is out there somewhere.

 

 

 

Nicole Galayda, Wingdale resident, mother to three little ones with a passion and love of photography. I began playing with photography whenever I would photograph friends smiles or to capture that special memory or moment. In college, I enjoyed black and white photography and developing my own works of art. After receiving a BFA from Syracuse, I pursued other avenues, married and began a family where portrait photography took over. Capturing a little ones eyes and expressions is so enjoyable. Recently I have explored landscape photography and the beauty of other subject matter other than children. I have also been exploring and combining photography with pattern design. I find that when I photograph anything from a simple flower, to a sunset to a child or family, it is calming, refreshing and reminds my of the beauty that surrounds me daily.

Emery Roth II, Washington, CT  Mr. Roth studied both design and literature at Carnegie-Mellon University earning a Bachelor of Architecture and a Masters in English. After working briefly designing theatrical environments he taught English in Waltham, MA, and at Shepaug Valley Regional High School in Connecticut. Since retiring after thirty years of teaching he has devoted his full energy to photography. Mr. Roth has been shooting photos since he was a child, but the digital darkroom inside his computer has re-energized his passion for pictures.  He likes nothing more than hiking the local fields, pastures and farms in search of images that tell the many moods of the land.  He hopes the best of them speak with the immediacy of music.  He is a partner with his daughter, Melissa Cherniske, in Lenscapes, LLC (http://www.lenscapes-photo.com/).  She has a thriving portrait photography business specializing in family, children, and teens. Together they lead photography field trips and run photo and computer workshops.
