Nelson Haas Named Artist of the Month and More

Cameron County artist Nelson Haas named Artist of the Month for May.  The retired state police trooper has also been named by the PA Wilds Planning Team as artist for 2013.  Haas is self taught and enjoys using pen and ink to capture all things in the PA Wilds.  From flowers to animals and even the tools used in hunting, fishing and trapping, Haas has sketched the items! 

 Each week the Cameron County Echo runs a drawing by the artist, who also was the impetus for the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce to add consignment artwork to its location.  Inside Haas sells walking sticks, original and reproduction artwork. 

 Haas has a busy month, as he will lead Cameron County High School art students on a native flower walk and drawing class.  At the end of May Haas will take part in the bioblitz at Sinnemahoning State Park, as he will lead a group on a wildflower count.

 Stop in the Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center to see Haas’  work.  The Cameron County Chamber of Commerce & Artisan Center is open 10-4  Monday-Friday Tuesday night 6:30-9:30 and Saturday 9-1.
