Ross Rider's wood sculptures master complex and intricate detail, something that has made Rider one of the most respected sculptors of our time. A Kodak Retiree, he is a self-taught artist who discovered his passion for creating with wood in his grandfather's wood shop. Rider's personal work has been shown in over 50 exhibitions nationwide and is included in many private collections. Ross Rider's exhibit is open in March and will run through the end of September 2001. For more information call 288-7170.
Many artists use the medium of the web for creative means because of it's freedom.
I wanted the site to be 'living' and so there are regular postings from me as well as a series of interviews with interesting people. As it also offers credit card purchases of various items, it is also a store with items not available in retail outlets elsewhere. It's early yet and we really don't know what will evolve. For the time being, I find that it offers a way for me to go directly to the enthusiasts and supporters of my work and bypass all the middlemen normally involved. I mean one where you can go, for a breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack.
