First Friday with Chris Manaseri

Chris Manaseri paints in watercolor, oil, and acrylic, and on occasion sculpts. His turn as Featured Artist for September contains watercolors he did from photographs he took on a pilgrimage to his paternal grandfather’s home village, San Fratello, on the island of Sicily. These are unusual pieces for him, since the bulk of his subject matter is much closer to home. Chris paints mostly from his studio on the south shore of Lake Ontario in Orleans County. He has been influenced by a lifelong fascination with the Wyeth family, and complements his homegrown subject matter with images familiar to Wyeth fans from Chadds Ford, PA and Cushing, Maine. His “Sicily Scenes: have special meaning to him as he lived upstairs in his immigrant grandfather’s home as a child, and he shares fond memories of Carmelo, especially as a new grandfather himself.
An Opening Reception for “Sicily Scenes" will be held on First Friday, September 5th from 5-8 PM at Pittsford Fine Art, 4 North Main Street, in the heART of Pittsford Village.
