Artist Talk with Suzanne Kraus Mancuso
Suzanne Mancuso began painting in 2008, creating folk art and paintings of the local area, and quickly amassed an impressive portfolio of places and events in the Hudson Valley.
In 2003, Suzanne earned her first world record for creating the largest portrait of the Virgin Mary in primitive folk art. She earned a second and third world record for recycling the large mural into postcard sized pieces and painting holy buildings on the reverse side, creating 3000 postcards. She received a commendation from New York Archbishop Timothy Dolan for her devotional artwork.
Since 2014, Suzanne has mainly focused on painting the Hudson Valley, and this work can be seen at several local shops, including the Cold Spring Antique Center and the Play Store in Beacon, where she is a well-known souvenir artist.
The art on display at Boardman Road Branch Library includes a variety of folk art depictions of Poughkeepsie, such as local attractions, and other folk art paintings that she has created over the last 10 years. Suzanne was born and raised in Putnam County, New York.
Suzanne's work will be on display now through October 7, 2024 at Boardman Road Branch Library in Poughkeepsie, NY.

    Finally got around to giving Vikings a watch. Can't remember what episode it was, I think some time season two, but it was some type of sparring match I think, with extras all in a circle. I noticed a dude in the circle, paused, rewound... Holy shit, that's Irish Jesus! And now I'm here 😂

    Really interesting, while concurrently disheartening with the realization that this area has become a sub-urbanized, congested mess. But thanks for the history lesson that inspires me to head out an try to find some of these historic sites before they disappear completely as what is happening at the old psychiatric center buildings.

    Why doesn’t anyone do a clip of the historical streets in Poughkeepsie, Academy St. For example. When people would walk up my st I knew they would love to see the inside of my home, I would invite them in for a short tour and they loved it and were very great full to see the history inside.

    The chemicals toxicity is quite low. This is the safest photographic process. Toxicity is a function of dose. As long as you don’t drink it you are perfectly safe handling it. It will stain though.

My grandmother's maiden name was Van Keuren (also spelled Keulen or Ceulen) I know my ancestors were early settlers but I don't much else except my family's home (bought in 1711) still stands in Kingston (Green St, I believe). I'm very excited to learn more. Do you have any info on that home?

    I'm a little late here, but you tube said I should watch this. Love it! I've resided in Fishkill for the last 30 years and it's so great to learn from someone just up the road! All those low hanging lines were low voltage telecommunications lines, something we can still see on the Hudson Line. Neat to look at, but just a glimpse into 100 year old 4G!

      These books (and maps) were supplied from the Friends' Book Store. Contrary to popular belief, not all books are precious. The Friends of PPLD get a lot of very outdated items like encyclopedias and dictionaries that they know won't sell. Might as well give them a new life.
