Produktbeschreibung
Sackets Harbor presents the unique history of a notable community that has achieved prominence as the northern headquarters in the War of 1812, as the home of the celebrated Madison Barracks, and as a revitalized tourist center. Ideally situated on the eastern shore of Lake Ontario in upstate New York, Sackets Harbor attracted the Iroquois, the Algonquin, early white settlers, and military strategists with its bounty. The village took its name from Augustus Sacket, who purchased tracts along the water in 1801 and led the first influx of settlers to the region. By 1809, the village had a military presence, but it was the War of 1812 that put Sackets Harbor on the map. In 1816, it became the site of Madison Barracks, the focus of life in the village until after World War II. Today a mecca for pleasure boating, sports fishing, and relaxation, Sackets Harbor has been dubbed a "hidden treasure."

Autorenporträt
While continuing his work as a painter and constructivist, Robert Brennan shares his observations of the world through the language of poetry. Beginning with simple word sketches from his deck in rural Connecticut and sail-aways along coastal New England, he has turned his eye in many directions, from the sights and sounds of the landscape and the sea, to observations of the inner life of souls trying to navigate a world full of wonder, mystery, tragedy, and joy. His words make note of a world he sees and imagines, often in the rich imagery that binds his love of the visual and the written form. Brennan found that with words, he could expand his range of personal expression, at times in combination with his artwork. For more than twenty years, Brennan, a prolific, award-winning freelance painter, served as a professor of art at the University of Bridgeport and art department chair for ten years. He also taught drawing at the Silvermine School of Art, New Canaan, CT and served as the K-12 art coordinator for the Darien School System. He received his BS at Southern Connecticut State University and his MA at Columbia University, where he also pursued doctoral level studies at Columbia Teachers College, majoring in Painting and Printmaking.Brennan maintains his studio in Easton, Connecticut, where he lives with his wife Patricia. Brennan's artwork can be viewed on his website, therestlesseye.com. Google him at artist Robert Brennan.
