Paintings by Mansfield resident Scott Rhoades, who recently retired from a 35-year art education career in the Coventry, CT school system, are featured in the UConn Libraries winter art exhibits starting Nov. 4 and running through February 21, 2014.
Rhoades’ exhibit, “Places and Faces: Near and Far,” depicts familiar UConn figures, as well as notable non-UConn figures, Mansfield and Coventry historical buildings, and nature scenes. This is the first formal public show of his work.
