Jim Cook – Nature Photography

April brings to the Gallery a new artist: Jim Cook, a resident of McKean County in neighboring Pennsylvania, will be exhibiting his nature photography. With an eye for finding the beauty in nature, Cook has been seeking stunning nature shots for the past 20 years throughout Cattaraugus County here in New York as well as McKean, Potter, and Warren counties in Pennsylvania.

A reception will be held Monday, April 1st in the Art Gallery from 6:30-7:30 pm. Light refreshments will be served, and all are welcome to attend.

Please remember: artwork must be appropriate for a general library audience (i.e.: suitable if children see), and you must be able to fill the entire gallery with your pieces. Any 2D medium is welcome!
