The Local History Room in the Seymour Library, 161 East Avenue, Brockport, is continuing its display case series with objects related to school events, artists and crafters, civic clubs, Scouts, museums, and others. For April and May, the exhibit is entitled “West Wynd.” It is an eclectic art show with the work of local artist, Andrew Daily.
Andrew’s interest in art began at Brockport High School. “I was always into drawing. When it came time to specializing, I chose art,” he said. “By my senior year I was in three art classes.” He started studies at Daemon College in Amherst. Then, in 2014 he started MCC with a photography and video major and art minor. He received his associate degree and transferred to The College at Brockport. There he received a bachelor’s degree in communication in a program called “media creation,” emphasizing video production.
“This is my first large scale show,” Andrew said. Asked how he feels about it, he added: “It’s kind of a mixed bag. I am still continuing to explore different ideas and processes in art. Some of it I think I wasted my time on, but it may have been for the learning curve. By making something I wasn’t happy with, I could make my future work better.” His final thought was, “I am happy about it. I’ll be happy if someone sees my work and likes it.”
(Running concurrently, a section of the Local History Room called “Spotlight On” features local therapy dogs.)
