Hattie Gavin’s Paintings on Display at Andover Historical Society

The Andover Historical Society is pleased to offer a showing of Hattie Gavin’s paintings and artwork.  The show of more than 20 works of art is on display now through the end of July at the Andover Historical Society Museum, 11 East Greenwood Street in Andover.  Museum hours are Wednesdays and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., and Thursdays and Fridays from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. 

Hattie was well known for her still life paintings in oil, watercolor, and pastels. Her works were awarded at the Wellsville Art Association and many local shows. Hattie was passionate about art and shared her love with many area residents who learned to appreciate art at the after school lessons at Hattie’s.   She also had a passion for local history and she served as the past vice-president and long-time trustee of the Andover Historical Society, and a member of the Baker’s Bridge Historical Association and the Allegany County Historical Society.   We were saddened to lose Hattie earlier this year, but her daughters Karol Gavin Marciano, Kathleen Kent, Mary Kay Cavanaugh and Cecilia Lynch graciously agreed to share her paintings with us for this show.
