Fence Show offers richly diverse display of works of art in Livingston

The city's longest-running outdoor art show did not disappoint the throngs of adults and children, many with well-behaved leashed dogs in tow, who meandered the grounds of Snug Harbor Cultural Center and Botanical Garden yesterday for the Staten Island Museum's 61st annual Fence Show.

Some 115 exhibitors occupied fences and free-standing spaces, in a richly diverse display of fine art, prints, collages, photography and hand-made crafts that included everything from elegant, hand-dyed silk scarves made in Graniteville to hand-made scented soap from Tottenville.

Stapleton resident and art conservator Halina McCormack reported that her architect husband, James, had just sold his oil landscape painting of Clove Lakes Park to "Christy and Louis, who fell in love with it." She said that this was the second painting that her husband ever sold: "James likes to show, not sell.This patent infringement case relates to retractable offshore merchant account , He doesn't like to part with his painting."

Marigold, from Livingston and a third-grader at PS 45, eventually selected a swashbuckling-style puppet dressed in a bright red- and-blue-checkered costume and outsized red hat. "I like him the best," she said, as her father handed over $5.

Nearby, Margaret Shanley of Westerleigh did not hesitate as she marched up to the table of Tottenville resident Theresa Incarbone. "I'm glad I found you – I'm almost out of soap – I have only one bar left!" she said, referring to the all-natural, hand-made moisturizing soap from Mrs. Incarbone's product line, Tottenville Soap Shoppe,However, if you buy them after the formal season has ended, it is much easier for you to get a cheap zentai. Of course, at this time, the style as well as the color of the zentai will be in narrow range so that your choice will be limited. and mentioning that her favorite scents include Shower Thyme and Citrus Splash. Mrs. Incarbone, who celebrated her fifth anniversary as a soap-maker last month, now offers 52 fragrances.

New Brighton textile artist Everet set up a fence of unique, colorful umbrellas creatively decorated with subtle, stencil-printed images on UV-protected fabric.

Favorites included the Amalfi (with mozzarella, feta cheese and Kalamata olives) and Formaggio Four (mozzarella, provolone, fontina and Parmesan).

"I'm visiting from Allentown, Pa., to see my friend Samantha Floyd – her paintings are in Fence Space 40," she explained.
