release from the Milton Public Library

During the month of November, the Wotiz Gallery of the Milton Public Library will be graced with the paintings of Irish native Vincent Crotty. Mr. Crotty, a visual artist, paints figures and landscapes from life and in the studio. His work spans a wide range, from the back streets of his hometown in Ireland to the back porches of his Dorchester three-decker neighborhood.

Mr. Crotty is currently working on a series of paintings of rural people in Ireland, as well as a series of portraits of the parishioners at Dorchester’s St. Mark’s parish. He also teaches art classes, including some at the Fort Point Studio School and served on the faculty at the 2007 Catskills Irish Arts Week in upstate New York. He got his start as a sign painter in his native Ireland, and further developed his skills through studies and his intense work ethic, to become the accomplished painter we will see in this exhibit. Please join us for this lovely display.

The Milton Public Library is located at 476 Canton Avenue, Milton, and for more information, contact Jean Hlady, Adult Services Librarian, at (617) 698-5757.
