Syosset Library displays Artist of the Month

Sam Grgas is an artist and musician who lives in Syosset. He says that upon retiring, with time on his hands, he found more joy in creation than ever before. According to Mr. Grgas, “No matter how the painting turns out, the relaxation one feels while painting is the true value. It's a beautiful way to spend your time.” Much of Mr. Grgas’ work is inspired by nature, especially trees. “Trees have always had a lot of meaning for me,” he says. “Their roots are deep, just as ours are, and they continue to grow as we do.” A selection of Mr. Grgas’ works in a variety of media are on view in the Syosset Library Gallery through July.

Syosset Library is located at 225 South Oyster Bay Road in Syosset. For more information about programs, services, and hours, call 516-921-7161, or visit the library or the website at www. syossetlibrary.org.
