Tom Hussey collection on display
The Cayuga County Chamber of Commerce is currently exhibiting paintings by Auburn artist Tom Hussey.

Hussey's collection of work, with a focus on the Northeastern landscape, may be seen from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, in the Chamber lobby, 36 South St., Auburn. The exhibit continues through Oct. 31.

Inspired by his maternal grandfather, George T. Miller, Hussey began painting in oils at 12 and has remained hooked on painting.

He is currently teaching adult painting at the Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center and has recently launched a new line of hand painted furniture available exclusively at Floors and Walls, 152 State St., Auburn.

He will join regional artists in November and December at the annual Art Mart at Syracuse City Hall Commons.

Hussey is know locally for his illustrations of downtown Auburn commissioned by the Auburn Business Improvement District. The original paintings can be seen at the Cayuga Museum's “Streets Where We Live” exhibit through Oct. 21.

Individuals and groups wishing to exhibit artwork at the Chamber of Commerce are encouraged to call 253-5288.
