Artist:
BENJAMIN k. Matteson

March - April 2025

Keith is a self -taught artist who paints for the joy and pleasure of it. He first started when he was in the military and was looking for something to do in his spare time. After a dry spell of 35 years he started painting again in retirement.

He paints subjects that inspire him using water color, pencil, and charcoal. He loves using different techniques and tools to draw, blend and remove.

Keith lives in Saugerties, New York.

Local artists created temporary artwork made of books/paper from a discarded encyclopedia set. Wander the Lobby and Information Room to peruse this year's masterpieces!

Books as Art: Year Three

Artist: Brian Lynch

Images from Everyday Life

In this photo, Saugerties artist Brian Lynch is seen installing a mural [5 x 21 feet] made specifically for our ground floor hallway between the Children’s Section and the Saugerties Public Library Art Gallery. It was created in connection with his show: Images from Everyday Life. The mural is collaged from various Lynch works. You can see many scenes and people depicted in Lynch’s unique style—a style that generates empathy for the human condition.

This unique work is the first

site-specific work done for the Library.
