Dodi Walter, Jeff Watkins & Mark Weld
"A Little Bit of Country and Some Jazz Too"

(Upstairs Gallery)
July 29 - September 3

The Upstairs Gallery will be featuring "A Little Bit of Country and Some Jazz Too," paintings by Dody Walter, Jeff Watkins and Mark Weld.

Dody Walters is a signature member of the Niagara Frontier Watercolor Society. Self taught, she believes her gift of artistry comes from her late grandfather and an early love of nature. She is frequently selected to participate in invitational shows and events.

If you've been in the old M&T bank or in the Lockport Municipal Building, then you've already seen examples of Jeff Watkins' work. He cites the influence of Joseph Whalen, Mirian Hazen and the late Bill Storrs, in developing his interests in watercolor which he started late in his artistic career.

Mark Weld is a member of the Buffalo Society of Artists and the Central New York Watercolor Society, his favorite scenes to paint come from his other great interest, Jazz.

Reception was July 29. During the reception, live music was provided by David Stockton and there was a wine tasting hosted by Chippone Cellars of Newfane.
