Today was a beautiful day for a drive to Baltimore Woods Nature Center, 4001 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, New York 13108. I went to visit the Drawing on Talent art exhibit. My painting, Mariposa, (above) is on display along with a variety of artwork by several other artists.
The show continues through December 16, 2025.
In addition to the art venue, there is a gift shop in the building. Outside you’ll find miles and miles of hiking trails.
Artwork is for sale with a percentage going to the nature center. Call (315) 673-1350 for more information including hours of operation or visit their website here.
Here is the flyer for the Member’s Exhibit at Baltimore Woods. The reception is on Sunday, November 2, 2025 from 2:30 – 4:00 PM. The show will run from November 1, 2025 to December 16, 2025.
I am exhibiting this butterfly painting. Baltimore Woods Nature Center is located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, New York 13108.
I’m preparing for three art events. On Sunday, October 19th, 2025, I will participate in an artisan day at the Neat Whiskey Bar, 6706 E. Seneca Turnpike Building B, Jamesville, New York 13078. More details later but I believe it will be a noon – 6:00 PM thing.
Karen Tashkovski, ANGELIC, 2025, encaustic & collage, 4″ x 4″ painting mounted on 6″ x 6″ chalkboard (with stand)
I will bring my own table and set up smaller cash and carry items – I do take Paypal and Venmo. I have a few weeks to figure out the details and I will let you know as soon as I can. I might share my Christmasy stuff or I might just do all the small heart paintings.
I will be exhibiting one painting at Baltimore Woods Nature Center, 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, New York 13108. They are having a member’s show November 1, 2025 – December 19, 2025 with a reception on Saturday, November 1, 2025, 2:30 PM – 4:00 PM.
I will also be exhibiting one painting at the Rochester Contemporary Art Center (137 East Ave., Rochester, New York 14604). They are having a member’s show too. This will be December 5, 2025 – February 14, 2026 with a reception on Friday, December 5, 2025, 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM.
Currently, I’m prepping a new series of thirty-six paintings. I placed three layers of wax on each hardboard (they are 8″ x 10″). Later today or tomorrow I will carve the designs and eventually begin the rest of the encaustic process. <3
The Baltimore Woods Nature Center is a gem of a place, located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, NY 13108. I recently became a member of this organization. There are miles and miles of nature trails – no bikers or dogs allowed. These trails, maintained by a staff of volunteers, are pristine, hilly and the perfect place to spend an afternoon zenning out.
In addition, they have a library on-site, a gift shoppe and an art gallery. There will be a members exhibit in November, so I wanted to view the space. The last time I was here, I hid rocks in the woods. I don’t think the building was open that day.
The current exhibition is a series of nature photographs by Don Crumb. The photographs are mainly of local and regional landscapes. There is a fabulous portrait of a fox – clearly the star of the show.
A collection of taxidermy mounted wild animals is also housed here.
The gallery can be rented out for parties, as it is connected to a full kitchen. They also host events in the room. You can investigate this further on their website.
Don Crumb – Nature Photography continues through October 27, 2025.
The building is open Monday-Friday 9:00 AM – 4:00 PM and Saturday 10:00 AM – 4:00 PM. Closed Sunday.
The hiking trails are available every day dawn to dusk. I would recommend walking with a friend. I sort of kind of got lost in there until I realized I could GPS and compass my way out. It wasn’t scary because I was so zen after two hours of zigzagging the paths.
Baltimore Woods Nature Center is a heavenly park of hiking trails located at 4007 Bishop Hill Road, Marcellus, New York 13108.
We’ve been having fifty degree weather – sunshine and blue skies – the perfect weather to hike these trails. This is an excellent workout. The woods encompass a series of drumlins with paths going up, down, and all around in a circle maze with bridges and stairs, and creeks and lots of trees including chestnut trees!!! So beautiful. If you’ve never been there, make a plan to experience this asap.
I left a dozen angel rocks around the site to enhance the blissful feeling of this peaceful serenity. The joy of nature is everything.
Thank you, Patri, for sharing this adventure with me. I appreciate you!!! <3
