An opening for the exhibit will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. Tuesday at the Lockside Art Center, 21-41 Main St., suite 208.

"I have included Sue Neidlinger from Newfane, Elsie Soboleski from Hamburg, Shaun Silverwood from Getzville, and myself. This exercise allowed me to think about my own evolution as I reached my 60th year. I included my own important events and people in my study."

"A Brushing Impression," a solo exhibition of works by Manning McCandlish, opened Saturday at the Lockside Art Center and will continue through June 6.
McCandlish, a local award-winning artist, has taught watercolor classes and workshops for many years. She is president of the Buffalo Niagara Art Association, chairman of the Kenan Art Committee and serves on the board of the Lockside Art Center. She is also a member of several art societies, holding various offices in each, and she has participated in many society and gallery art exhibits, winning numerous awards.
McCandlish works primarily in transparent watercolor, but also does pen and ink work, and likes to go out with the Plein Air Painters to paint on location. She paints a variety of subjects, but is known for her paintings of the Erie Canal and the Lockport Locks.
A second exhibit, "Wildlife Sculpture Exhibition and More," is also ongoing. It features Mark "Gig" Goldstein's works.
Goldstein, who has a deep appreciation for nature, began carving around 15 years ago, where he began combining his love for nature and his new hobby into beautiful works of wildlife art. He has had no formal training but has been self-taught in his craft.
He began his journey in carving with creating decorative fish but has since expanded into numerous other areas of carving such as relief, antler, chainsaw, and more recently guitar carving. Each of creations are one-of-a-kind, hand-carved, hand-painted works of art.
Goldstein has won various national and regional carving contests and awards for his wood sculpting. His work has been featured in national and international magazine publications and many of his pieces are in private collections.
Still residing in Western New York, Gig continues to explore new and unique challenges in wood sculpting, meticulously painting, continuously improving, perfecting, and expanding his art.
For more information and to view his work, visit www.youtube.com/user/GigsCarvedGuitars and www.facebook.com/GigsCarvedGuitars.

Lockport native and author of children's books Cynthia Cotten will conduct a book signing from 1-4 p.m. Saturday at Lockside Art Center. She is the first author featured in the center's Meet the Artist/Author series, and will talk with visitors about her writing experiences.
An author of fiction and poetry for young readers, Cynthia has published nine books of her own, many with classroom teaching guides, and has poetry included in numerous collections. She visits schools to read aloud and talk about her books with students.
In addition to serving as presenter/critiquer at conferences, she has taught writing classes for children and coached several beginning writers. She has twice served as a judge for the Society of Children’s Bookwriters and Illustrators Golden Kite award, and is a member of the Society of Children's Bookwriters and Illustrators, the Author's Guild, and the Children's Book Guild of Washington, DC.
Her most recent book is Window Across Time. Spanning almost two centuries, it consists of eight stories linked together by a cobblestone house in a fictional small town on the Erie Canal. Through the eyes of the young people who live there over the years, readers get a look inside (or a window to) both large and small moments in the history of the house, Western New York, and the United States.
Signed copies of the book - and others authored by Cotten - will be available for purchase.
Lockside Art Center is located at 21-41 Main Street at Pine, Suite 208, in downtown Lockport. The center is open Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. and by appointment. For more information, email locksideart@cs.com or call 478-0239.
