    This water color by Dorothy Bronson Wicker shows the "The Miller House" on the corner of Stage Road and Route 17M diagonally across from the waterfall at the end of the Millpond in Monroe. It will be part of the exhibit by local artists of the new Monroe Art Society on display at Monroe Village Halll this coming Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 15 and 16.

I would like the new Monroe Art Society to know how much I appreciate their offer to exhibit some of my Mom’s (Dorothy Bronson Wicker Re) paintings of the local area in their exhibit this weekend - Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 15th and 16th - at Monroe Village Hall.
As she was the founder of the Schunnymunk Art Guild along with Don Selchow back in the 1950’s, she would be very happy to know that a new generation of artists will continue to carry on the tradition of the arts in Monroe.
Additionally, she and her good friend Pat Castaldo, also a retired teacher and school house lover, launched the One Room Schoolhouse Project for the Orange County Historian at the time - Ted Sly. Some of the school house paintings from Monroe will be in the exhibit, too.
Good luck with the show.
Sincerely,
Sandy Leonard
Monroe
