Multi-media artist, Cindy Sheeler will exhibit the series entitled “My Turn” at the Northville Public Library located on 341 S. Third St. from March 2-April 30 with a Meet the Artist Reception Tuesday, March 10, 6-8pm. The exhibit will be open during library hours: 9-noon Mon/Fri/Sat, 9-8 Tues, 9-4 Wed/Thurs. Cindy Sheeler is a lifelong resident of Gloversville and a graduate of Gloversville High school. She graduated from Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pa with a degree in Art Education. Throughout her own education she remembers her favorite times were spent in art class. An art teacher of 30 years, Sheeler reflects, “I truly enjoyed helping and encouraging my students to enjoy creating and using their imaginations.” During her teaching career Sheeler was honored to have an article published in “Arts and Activities”, a professional magazine for art educators. Over the years she displayed her artwork at the Fulton County Art Show and other local exhibits. And in 2008 she designed, built and painted a “garden gate” for an exhibit at the Norman Rockwell Museum, which was chosen to be featured on the cover of the media guide and announcements for the show. Now that Sheeler is retired she has had more time to devote to her own artwork, making the title of her show “My Turn” an appropriate one. Enjoying working in many mediums including water color, acrylic, collage, ceramics and printmaking, Sheeler composed “My Show” of multi-media artworks. Sheeler describes her artwork as colorful, fanciful and fun to create.
