Come see two artists who have captured timeless scenes of our most historic and well-knowned places in Cazenovia. Included in the show are paintings of the Brewster Inn, the Lincklaen House and Lorenzo that could be from anytime during the 1900s.
Chris Baker and Linda Wesner, who have been showing their artwork in Cazenovia since Diana Goodsight started “Goodsight Galleries” over ten years ago are debut this new body of work that includes a focus on historic Cazenovia starting Friday, Sept. 25 through Oct. 11.
