State Senator Patty Ritchie met recently with Oswego County artist, Vivian Golding, whose computer- generated still life “Sprig of Flowers” had been on display in the Senator’s Oswego office since last fall.

Golding’s art was one of 60 selected by ARISE, a Center of Independent Living, for its 2013 anthology which displays the creative work of individuals with disabilities in Central New York.  A 71 year-old wife, mother and grandmother, Golding uses art to help her cope with her multiple sclerosis.  Her work has appeared in the Brooklyn Museum of Art.
