 The Gallery of CNY at 58 Albany St. announces its biggest show of the year "Introducing Brett Scheifflee".

Scheifflee will present 23 new oil paintings on exhibit and for sale at The Gallery of CNY in Cazenovia starting Friday, November 4, 2011 through Wednesday, November 30, 2011.

At RIT, he also studied under one of his professors and began his career as a fine artist.

Brett currently resides and has an art studio in Aurora NY. Scheifflee expresses a quiet yet powerful voice in his art. He paints using techniques dating back to the Flemish painters. But the images he chooses from his daily life keep the paintings current and reflective of our modern time. "Quiet by my own nature, I intend to let my images speak for themselves and paint so that what is already beautiful may remain so," explains Brett Scheifflee. In the exhibit will be paintings including landscapes, interiors and a self-portrait. The full exhibit will be available to view on-line at www.gallerycny.com at 11:00am in Saturday, November 5, 2011.
 With more than twenty years of experience up her sleeve, master illusionist, Lyn Dillies, has mesmerized audiences throughout the world. She has been hailed as the finest female magician in the land as well as one of America's top illusionists - male or female!

Lyn brings a family friendly experience and at the same time is one of the most outstanding magical performers in the country. Ticket are $25 at the door; Discounted season packages are still available for the winter performance series. (www.OneidaAreaArts.com)
Her show THE MAGIC OF LYN, is filled with eye-defying illusions, hypnotic lighting, exciting music and, most magical of all, the enchanting personality of Ms. Dillies. Ms Dillies performs each illusion “as if it were performed for each audience member alone” (Steve martin, Wells Theater, Virginia) Lyn is able to deliver a “top notch incredibly impressive show and at the same time give the children a warm, friendly and sharing experience” (Marianne Cooney, American Cancer Society) Lyn created magic history by being the only illusionist before or since to make two live Asian elephants appear in succession. This incredible feat was accomplished outdoors, in front of an audience of her peers for the grand opening of the Buttonwood Park Zoo in New Bedford, MA. As a result, her illusion has been included in the national archives of the Society of American Magicians library. From the grandeur of New York's Lincoln Center to the glitterama of Atlantic City and throughout the United States and Canada, rave reviews follow every performance of her powerful brand of mystery and illusion.
