Paper & Paint, an exhibit by Cottekill artist Lily Bednarz

“This show grew from a pile of paper two years in the making,” said Cottekill artist Lily Bednarz of her “Paper & Paint” exhibition, on display through Friday, June 28, at the Stone Ridge Library, 3700 Main St., Stone Ridge. Drawn to color schemes and thick brush strokes, Bednarz has created works dense with textures and filled to the very corners. The subject of each piece was decided before the collage was made and pieced together with the end result in mind.

Always creating art for as long as she can remember, Bednarz is currently pursuing a Fine Arts degree in the early college program, at SUNY Ulster. For more information, call 845-687-7023 or visit stoneridgelibrary.org.
