Artist Bios
Herringshaw, Delores  Born with artistic ability, I was encouraged by both family and later mentors such as Paul and Caroline Berry of Skylard Studius, Gary Trento and John DeTour. I love to experiment in a wide variety of mediums including acrylics, pastels, watercolor, oils and hand-inked scratchboard. My subject matter is equally diversified encompassing portraits, landscapes, architecture and unique physical forms. As a founding member of the Walton Street Irregulars, a group of artists who meet at the Delevan Studios to draw live models every Saturday encouraging each other as well as new-comers. I continue to pursue my passion for art not only for myself but for my students. To see more of my work please visit my website at www.dsartworks.com.  (Back To)

Leighton, Bert  I have studied with nationally known watercolor teachers from Maine to Florida. In addition to watercolor painting I am know for theorem painting, an Early American decorative art and for painting fine art miniatures. I also enjoy creating collographs, woodcuts, linocuts and watercolor monotypes while developing my interest in printmaking. My work has been exhibited with art organizations in Oswego and Onondaga Counties, the Adirondacks, the Thousand Island in NY State as well as in New Jersey, Florida and Canada. In 2003 I had solo exhibitions at the Art Association of Oswego and Arts and Culture for Oswego County. In 2004 I and my husband Bill were pleased to have their miniature paintings included in a World Federation of Miniaturists Exhibition at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington DC.

Lifanova, Liliya  I grew up in Ukraine surrounded by rich artistic heritage of Europe. It was fascinated to go to museums that had permanent collections and also art galleries that represented local contemporary artists. After immigrating to US in1992 I began to pursue my dream and journey into becoming an artist. I took art lessons with several members of Art Guild – Anita Fodera, Delores Herringshaw and Anna Perun and other accredited artists in the Central New York area, successfully completed North Light Art School the Fundamentals of Fine Art course, and explored many styles and mediums.  Find my art for sale at www.etsy.com/shop/TheArtForYourHeart.

Lynn, Jennifer  I feel I am a versatile artist who likes to depict emotion in a painting. I joined the CNYAG a few years ago and I enjoy the exposure to the other artists and their works My paintings have been accepted into exhibitons organized by the CNYAG and the NY State Fair where I have received numerous awards. Much of my work is held in private commissions but I also enjoy showing my work in various galleries. I give thanks to my art teacher Delores Herringshaw.  (Back To)

Lynne, Michael  I am a graduate of Rochester Institute of Technology where I majored in illustration and minored in painting. After 3 years of working in advertising I got a Masters in Teaching degree in art. During my teaching tenure I worked on my own but also began an MFA, took workshops and continued to try to find my own way artistically. Recently retired I am now free to really move forward, or a least move as art has a habit of going both up and down in terms of progress. I continue to develop yearly goals; in 2009 I would like to enter more thematic juried shows; I like the challenges imposed from outside sources. I am also trying to use paint in a more fluid manner, sort of semi-abstract. Please visit my website at www.michaelvlynnfineart.com (Back To)
