Sue Murphy : “Figures & Faces”
October 10 – November 30, 2018
Award-winning artist and art teacher Susan Murphy presents her oils and watercolors. A signature member of the Central New York Watercolor Society since 1986, Susan’s paintings have been in galleries, museums and national and regional shows. Opening reception on Sunday, October 21 from 2:00 – 4:00 pm.
Ms. Murphy says, “I have always been interested in expressing myself in different media, but I worked earnestly in watercolor when my children were younger, not only because I loved the flowing quality of the pigment, but because it was so easily packed away. I do work in other media, but always come back to watercolor.” After studying 10 years with Mary Ellen Silkotch, a New Jersey Portrait painter, Ms Murphy went on to receive a dual Bachelor’s Degree in Fine Arts and in Education at Syracuse University in 1974. She then completed a Masters of Education Degree from SU in 1979, teaching art in the Phoenix, NY Central Schools until retiring in 2014.
The exhibit is free and open to the public during regular library hours. For more information, call (315) 445-4323.

Library Exhibit: Irish Mission at Watson House
This exhibition, from October 9 – November 7 on the library first floor, endeavors to remember the efforts of those who created the Irish Mission for Immigrant Girls in New York City. The story begins in Ireland with Charlotte Grace O’Brien’s inspiration and courage to actually do something about the appalling emigration conditions she observed first-hand on the docks in Queenstown. And, it continues with the commitment of the Catholic clergy and countless others to help over 100,000 women immigrants.
The exhibit, the work of the mission at Watson House committee is based on the historical research and archival collections of Maureen Murphy of Hofstra University and John T. Ridge.
Professor Murphy will speak at 5pm on October 10th in the Library for the opening of the exhibit. Light refreshments will be served.
The exhibit was supported with a grant from the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs, with additional support from the Le Moyne College Irish Studies program, headed by the Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences, and professor, Kate Costello-Sullivan.
