SUMMARY:Joseph Grice - Reverence
DESCRIPTION:“My bird paintings are a tether between the natural world\, and human emotion. Each piece represents a moment in time along the plot of a story both untold\, and well known. Determinism\, bravery\, wisdom\, strength\, beauty\, and joy are among the traits portrayed in these anthropomorphic characters. They are reflections of ourselves\, displaying traits and lessons that we can admire and live up to. They represent a reminder that clarity can come from the smallest of moments\, and that we are all connected to nature in an ancient way. These bird portraits explore what it means to be truly human\, through the lens of ornithological illustrations.”

SUMMARY:Sandra Maggio - My Untouched Images
DESCRIPTION:The photographic works of Sandra Maggio will be installed in the stacks of the Patterson Library- 13 WALLS from July 10 to September 11\, 2026 these 13 works will be on view to the public and for sale during regular library hours. \n“No matter how much one may love the world as a whole\, one can live fully in it only by living responsibly in some small part of it. Where we live and who we live there with define the terms of our relationship to the world and to humanity.” \n-Wendell Berry\, writer and environmental activist \n\nOver the years I have become a naturalist through my photography. I have found I have developed a laser focus on our world and how human interference wreaks havoc on our environment. What all of this boils down to is the journey of becoming a naturalist. I now pay attention to the life cycles of both flora and fauna. Studying the ecosystems creates better respect for nature and a willingness to teach and interact more cohesively with the environment. There is more than an artful passion for my photography. It now is embedded with thought and purpose beyond the image. My current work in progress is the future publication of an art book that features poetry and nature photography\, entitled Finding Peace in Times like These. The inspirational images included have inspired the poetry that I have authored. The purpose of the book is also to de-stress its readers by viewing peaceful serene beauty and being lulled into a sense of calmness and reflection from the verses.

SUMMARY:The Art of Steven Swank
DESCRIPTION:Patterson Show 2026 Artist Statement \nThe Art of Steven Swank \nMy Life\, My Art – –The joy of aspiration\, the humility of limit.The creative imperatives that necessitate new insight and growth\, a novel path through or around the challenge of evolution in a particulate art piece or form delights and invigorates my whole being. \nThe Twigsticks are 3 dimensional line drawings which cast a second image on the wall in 2 dimensions. They are recent adventures in space. Photo collage has a long history in my studio as I focus on eye movement and composition. More whimsical are the small environments composed of found objects. Some paintings are new for this show. I also present poetry as metaphor\, which is a constant companion in my life.

SUMMARY:Chautauqua County Historical Society - Fireside Lectures
DESCRIPTION:WESTFIELD\, NY — A new historical lecture series\, free and open to the public\, will begin this March at Patterson Library. Known as the “Fireside Lecture Series\,” this new programming is a collaboration between the Chautauqua County Historical Society (CCHS) and the library.The Fireside Lecture Series was developed after the library approached CCHS in late 2025\, seeking collaboration to develop programming that focuses on history and\, more specifically\, local and regional history covering Chautauqua County and Western New York. After meeting and discussing further\, the two organizations settled on a lecture series that focuses primarily on local history\, but would also cover other topics related to general history\, as the opportunity allowed.In all\, eight lectures are planned for the inaugural year. The Fireside Lecture Series for 2026 will take place on the first Thursday of each month at 6 p.m. in March\, April\, May\, June\, September\, October\, November\, and December.The schedule of lectures for the first half of the year includes: Chautauqua County Celebrates America’s 250th with Norman Carlson\, Chautauqua County historian (March 5); The History of the Grange with Pamela Brown\, Harmony town historian (April 2); Westfield Native and Kentucky Derby Champion Vince Powers\, with Randy Anderson\, Chautauqua Sports Hall of Fame director (May 7); and the Geological History of Western New York with Dr. Thomas Hegna from SUNY Fredonia (June 4).Additional lectures for the second half of the year will be announced this summer.All lectures will take place at Patterson Library (40 S. Portage St.\, Westfield) and are free and open to the public.To learn more about the Fireside Lecture Series\, visit CCHSMcClurg.org or PattersonLib.org.

SUMMARY:The Case of: The Chautauqua Red Ball Murders
DESCRIPTION:The Case of: The Chautauqua Red Ball Murders (Mac Morrison Murder Mystery Book 5)Two boys are playing tether-ball under a blood moon at a school playground. A third practices mumblety-peg with his uncle’s silver stiletto. In two minutes\, two of them are dead\, a red ball is found under a body\, a scrape of red paint is ignored on the tetherball pole\, and the stiletto is missing. The police incompetently misinterpret the evidence and rush to judgment by blaming an innocent child\, who is one of those murdered. \n** \nTwenty years later\, an Artificial Intelligence scan of unsolved murders reveals six instances where a red ball was found at the crime scene. Sheriff Lowell Buckman dubs them the Red Ball Murders\, and calls in his crack consultant\, Mac Morrison\, with his Malamute-Shepherd police dog\, Buddy. The six cases are all different\, with no apparent motives or connecting clues. \n** \nMac does what he always does: start at the scene\, reconstruct the murder\, and relentlessly question everything and everyone. He works from what he knows to what he doesn’t know. But this time\, he is not only matching wits with a sophisticated serial killer\, he is bucking the establishment who hired him. \n** \nOne thing is for sure: no killer ever avoids “Morrison Justice!”

SUMMARY:Katherine Kepner - Remembrance
DESCRIPTION:13 WALLS- Katherine Kepner’s “Remembrance” is a curated selection of atmospheric watercolor studies. \nI’ve been painting with watercolors since 2021 after giving up etch-a sketch and crocheting hats\, (there is a story for another time.) I hardly did anything else with my time due to covid restrictions except practice my new found pastime of painting. By the time we were able to gather again\, I joined a local art group and to my absolute surprise I won BEST in SHOW for a large painting of a marsh at the group’s spring show. It was such an encouraging experience that I continue my learning and painting and showing my work to this day.This exhibit of my landscape paintings is a portrayal of places; places that are know and nearby\, places that are memories and places that are only imagined. This work is less about documenting a particular moment in a place but the feeling that being in that place evokes for me and hopefully the viewer.
