Artist Susan Forrester Mackay, and artist James Hoggard are two of 20 artists participating in this year’s Art Trail, which takes place May 26-27, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Forrest Mackay’s studio is located at 73 Eagle St., Fredonia.

“So basically, I am a figurative painter in oil. I work mainly with water mixable oils, having discovered them about five or six years ago. The fascinating thing about them is that they are made with non-petroleum oils! No toxicity, clean up with water and still feel creamy as butter. The best part of painting for me is actually the ‘process.’ I am in love with people, color, and watching the canvas grow.”

Meanwhile, Hoggard’s studio is located at 36 Castile Drive, Fredonia.

“I have been working on a few photographs of local scenes taken during this past winter and I am pleased with how they look so far! So this year at the Art Trail there will be some exciting new material to view,” he said.
