Mucciante was one of more than 65 artists from throughout Ontario, western New York and Quebec who participated in the 27th annual Pelham Art Show, Friday to Saturday at the Pelham Arena.

After his retirement as staff photographer at Brock University, Mucciante focused of the artistic side of photography, creating and framing stunning images. Several of those images were on display at the Pelham Art Show.

He spent years assigned to take photographs often used in university promotions.

“Anything they wanted done, I did it,” he said.

But the subject matter of his photographs changed substantially since his retirement.

“I’ll photograph a garbage can if I know I can make it look good,” he said. “It’s art and if you can sell it, it’s a bonus.”

The images on display ranged from images of local landmarks like the Comfort Maple, to a homeless man in Quebec City. He captured the picture as the bearded man was dozing off, resting his weary head against his hand.

The work of 17-year-old Josh Tiessen attracted a lot of attention from the hundreds of people who visited the show.

The teenager from Stoney Creek was a featured artist during the Pelham Art Show.

“Last year, I just got in on a cancellation,” Tiessen said. “This year they moved me up to the front and made me a featured artist.”

He said being selected as a featured artist was a “real honour.”

Last year, the response from the crowd went really well for me, and this year it’s the same thing.”

Niagara Falls artist Verla Goudy was working on a watercolour painting of her own, while assisting her husband artist Marvyn Rivett who was at the show displaying his pastel landscapes.

It was Rivett’s second time participating in the local art show, and he was impressed.

It’s good feedback on your work.”

Woodworker George Wilkinson travelled from his Burlington home to display some of the intricate wooden vases, bowls and plates he crafts from unusual hardwoods.

“This is a passion,” he said while discussing his displays of work. “You sure don’t do it to get rich, you do it because you love it. And you love to see peoples’ faces light up when they see it.”

It was his second time participating.

“I love this show,” he said, adding he usually participates in as many as 14 shows a year.

“I consider this to be one of the best.”

Carla Drimmie from Elora said she learned about the Pelham show from a friend who displays her work every year.

“She said I’d have great fun here,” recalled Drimmie, who creates handmade silver and gold jewellery.

Her friend was right, she added.

“It’s been wonderful. It has a lovely following,” said Drimmie, who usually participates in about 10 shows a year.
