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.

Oneida Silver Factory Transforms to Chic Art Gallery
I never pictured myself in a silverware factory surrounded by my art, but that is exactly where I found myself last weekend.
The old factory building is located in the small village of Sherrill, New York, and is steeped in history having been founded in 1880 by the
Oneida Community. Oneida is a utopian society who existed longer than
most due to the success of their lucrative business, Oneida Silver, grew
and eventually could be easily found around the world. Unfortunately,
through several greedy blunders at the beginning of the new millennium,
the company was sent into the throws of bankruptcy and in 2005 closed
its doors turning their backs on the hundreds of faithful employees who
had devoted their lives to making quality silverware.
Thanks to a dynamic 25-year-old Jennifer Krawiec,
what seemed a dismal ending has recently turned into an upbeat, trendy
hot spot for the beleaguered village. Jennifer, an aspiring artist and
native of Sherrill, saw a need for a place where artists could
congregate and display their Central New York art. The old factory called out to her and she responded by opening Building 41 Gallery in the old factory building.
I spent a very pleasant evening, surrounded by some really creative artists and a most appreciative public. The crowd was made up mostly of a
younger set, probably due to the genre of bands playing across the hall
throughout the night. I was pleased by their interest and appreciation
for the gallery and local art.
If the other night is an indication of the future, then Building 41
Gallery and Jennifer Krawiec have a very bright future ahead of them.
