Mann.  The show will open with a wine, cheese and appetizer reception Friday

Scott Mann - Having worked as a model and photo assistant for hometown 
friend and now New York based photographer Steve Vaccariello, Scott 
developed an interest to be behind the lens.  It was Vaccariello who 
actually gave Scott his first camera.  Scott has been shooting a variety of 
media over the years.  His most recent interest is 'digital painting' on his 
images, which has created his latest works. 

Mann's digital works begin with an ordinary image which he "morphs" into an 
abstract work.  The digital painting process first begins with one of his 
own original photos.  A working 'wet' palette is then created from the 
selected photo.  By using a mouse or pen palette, he uses a variety of 
brushes, styles, textures and techniques to create his abstract image.
