great studios in our own area. Who
says you have to go to a large city or
a huge museum to see great artwork.
Sure many collections are undeniably
revered and are a “must see,” but our
area is truly growing as a great place
to view and create artwork. Imagine
traveling trough the Enchanted
Mountains and stopping to see artists
creating fantastic pieces of artwork.
The open studio philosophy is a great
way to meet some of our local artists
and question them about their craft.
Bringing the family along or any young
aspiring artists also introduces them
to the art community and provides an
opportunity to see what it’s like being a
professional or hobby artist. From my
perspective it is a great way to spend
a warm sunny day in Western New
York. So my question to you is why The open studio philosophy is a great way to meet some of our local artists and question them about their

Merritt Estate Winery
CHAUTAUQUA 401k
Receives Praise from Shanghai, China
FORESTVILLE - Recently,
Merritt Estate wines were well
received at the Food Hotel
Retirement Plan Consultants China Convention (FHC) in
Shanghai, China. This was
the first international food and
beverage show in which the
winery has participated.
The FHC Convention
showcased some of the
Hadley A. Weinberg, CFP biggest companies in the food
and beverage industry. Avid
James D. Henderson Exports owner, David McClay,
took various wines from the
east coast to exhibit. Merritt
Estate Winery was the only
New York wine at the show.
McClay poured wine for hotel
35 Harrison Street, Jamestown, NY 14701 and restaurant owners, as well
as other importers in the food

and repairing their homes and
cottages after a long winter’s
rest.
Residents and visitors alike
eagerly await everything that
is Chautauqua County, the
state’s gateway to the West.
McClay found a huge market
in Asia for American wines,
especially New York wines.
Avid Exports hopes to open
the eyes of the world and
introduce them to fine wines
from the East Coast like
Merritt Estate Winery.
“The dessert-style wines such
as the Vidal Ice wine and Bella
Ice seemed to be a huge hit at
the tasting booth. Other wines
including Strawberry Festival
and Bella Rosa really left an
impact on the tasters’ palate
at the FHC Convention,”
said McClay. “Most of the
feedback I received was that
the Merritt wines were overall
a cut above the rest at the
show as far as dessert wines
go. My favorite is the Bella
Rosa,” said McClay.
“Conventions like this
The picturesque countryside

lakes, rolling hills and quaint

abound and the wineries are
second to none. Artists of
both visual and performance
excellence call this corner of
the state “home” in the spring
and summer months, and
everyone benefits from the
wide array of special events
and features offered each and
every weekend.
In short, this is living at its
finest! Take advantage of all
Chautauqua has to offer. Or,
if you prefer – grab the nearest
chaise lounge and sit by the
lake for the day. Either way,
you can’t go wrong. Peace of
mind is yours for the taking!
Until next time …

buyer.” said Rodriguez.

Gailey states, “I strive to create
the most unusual piece of art
I can imagine in their home.”
I think Cyn Gailey’s artwork
is innovative, unique and
beautiful. Definitely a must see
on the trail.
Another artist that grabbed
my attention was the artwork of
Nancy Nixon. Looking at her
profile I was intrigued that she
worked in so many different
mediums. From jewelry to egg
tempra she, “exhibits herself
in countless states.” I love her
icon imagery because you can
see the definite influences from
history. I have traveled to Italy,
and I can imagine one of her
pieces hung in a cathedral or
on display. It is difficult to find
contemporary artists who are
still influenced by early Roman-
Greek paintings. Her new series,
“Faces of history and Scapes-
land and Sea,” is definitely worth
viewing. Nixon sells many of
her pieces through galleries but
also on commission.
Finally, an artist who enhances
the art community of Western
New York is Alberto Ray.
His artwork is a blend of life
experiences, culture, society
and the nature that surrounds
us. I believe any nature lover
from New York would really
appreciate his artwork. His use
of value and contrast between
dark and light give several of his
pieces depth and a contemporary
feel. The highlights and natural
colors give his biological pieces
a sense of warmth and realism.
His landscapes also encapsulate
the same complex style giving
them their own impressionistic
mood. The colors and detail in
his paintings and drawings make
him one of many great artists to
see along the trail.
I wish I could write about every
artist along the trail because
they each have their own
unique styles. Their galleries
are definitely worth viewing
this Spring and Summer. To get

Music has been a part of
Matt Young’s life for as long
as he can remember. Formerly
a disc jockey, Young moved
to commercial production two
decades ago and for nearly as
long has been on both sides of
the stage as a band member
and producer.

producer for radio stations

Young uses his talent as both a
producer and keyboard player
in the Scott Celani Band.
“He knew I played
keyboards and he recruited
me to do a show in 2004 and

was missing, I happened to
fit into that bill,” Young said.
The band typically plays

LUCILLE BALL LITTLE THEATRE: Cinderella

JAMESTOWN – The Lucille Ball Little Theatre presents “Cinderella” on May 15-
17 and May 21-24. Music and Lyrics by Rodgers & Hammerstein. This timeless
enchantment of a magical fairy tale is reborn with the Rodgers & Hammerstein
hallmarks of originality, charm and elegance. Originally presented on television in
1957 staring Julie Andrews, Cinderella was the most widely viewed program in the
history of the medium. Its recreations in 1965 starring Lesley Ann Warren and again
in 1997 starring Brandy and Whitney Houston (and seen by over 60 million viewers)
were no less successful in transporting new generations to the miraculous kingdom
of dreams-come-true. As adapted for the stage, with great warmth and more than a
touch of hilarity, the hearts of children and adults alike soar when the slipper fits. For
tickets and times call 716-483-1095.
