The Gallery of CNY at 58 Albany St. announces its biggest show of the year "Introducing Brett Scheifflee". Scheifflee, 25 years old, is the youngest artist and newest addition to the group of artists represented by the gallery. 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.

Scheifflee grew up in East Aurora, NY and graduated from Rochester Institute of Technology in 2009 with a BFA in Illustration & Design. At RIT, he also studied under one of his professors and began his career as a fine artist. During the last few years, Brett has become an important part of The Gallery of CNY as he has continued to hone his skills as an oil painter and show dedication to his full-time 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.

The Gallery of CNY is holding a special open house for the public Friday, November 4th from 5:30pm-7:30pm. The artist's good friend who is a pastry chef at The Aurora Inn in Aurora NY is kindly providing fresh pastries for the reception. Children are always welcome and encouraged to attend to experience the fine art in our area. Gallery owner, Jennifer Schutzendorf, commented that "We are excited to introduce Brett to the public as he is a great example of a young person who has already been successful in pursuing a career that he likes." His paintings have not been exhibited before, and this will be the only time they can be seen as a group.

The Gallery of CNY is located in the heart of New York State and specializes in landscapes by the most original full-time working artists in Central New York. The Gallery of CNY's artists study together; they influence each other and they are inspired by the surroundings of our Central New York region. We also feature small collectible paintings by artists such as Nicora Gangi and Mary Padgett and have 19th and early 20th century work such as Fernando Carter and Frank Barney. For more about each of the artists and their work, check out our constantly updated and active website at www.gallerycny.com.
