"SUSAN McCASLIN - Recent Works Inspired by the Old Leather Man"
An Installation and Painting Exhibition by Susan McCaslin
August 6 - September 12, 2010

Opening Reception: Sunday, August 8,  2-5pm
This exhibit is inspired by an eccentric wanderer who around 1883 walked a circuitous route from Ossining NY to Old Saybrook CT. "I learned of the Old Leather Man from a woman who remembers her grandmother cooking food for him as he passed by each month." says McCaslin.
Multiple styles and techniques that vary from nature paintings to photographic installations will be exhibited by McCaslin as she illustrates what she thinks the eccentric wanderer might have seen as he walked the countryside.
