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.
