Come and enjoy a visit to the Main View Gallery in Oneonta, NY beginning with the opening reception of the "Viewpoints" exhibit on March 9th 5 pm-7 pm. James Mould will be a featured guest artist and have several of his drawings on display. James discovered his artistic talent 3 years ago when he retired from farm work, moved to Stamford, NY and had more time to try other things. People at Resources For Industry (RFI) began noticing his artistic talent in the pen doodles he would make on his note papers. “When I first came here (RFI), I was so shy” said James. But people continued to encourage him to keep drawing and James further developed his newly discovered talent. James has explored several art mediums at the Catskill Mountain Artisan Guild in Margaretville as well his Art Expressions class at RFI. However, his theme of choice is trees and his favorite medium is colored pencils.
Fellow artists have recognized his work and invited him to display at the Longyear Gallery, Margaretville, NY this past January. As a result of connections made at that show, the curator of the Main View Galley collaborated with James to present his works at her gallery.
James finds he is inspired by nature and finds his artwork not only continues to provide him with endless satisfaction, but has connected him with others in a way he had not experienced before. He no longer feels shy, but enjoys sharing his love of art and nature with others.
The Main View Gallery is located at 73 Main St., Oneonta, NY, tel. no. 607.432.189. To view some of James' artwork click on the following Flicker link: http://www.flickr.com/photos/delarc/sets/72157628046722546/
