About
The Watson-Ewell-Currin Community Art Gallery is open to the public during regular library hours. This
gallery represents, and is named for, four generations of artists, all from the same family. It is named for a family of artists that started in Chicago, and is continued in Hudson, Ohio. It has been endowed in hopes that it will provide a display area for Hudson artists of all ages, from the very young to those veterans in the field.
The Hudson Library & Historical Society welcomes and encourages local artists and students to display their work at the library. Please view the gallery brochure for more information about the history of the names above the door.
For more information, contact E. Leslie Polott, Executive Director/Curator, at leslie.polott@hudson.lib.oh.us or call the library at 330-653-6658.

Mandy Hensley Vecchio
“Art Inspired by Land and Sea“
Mandy Hensley Vecchio is an abstract artist located in Twinsburg, OH. Identifying as an artist since childhood, she has been immersed in the creative process for as long as she can remember.
Originally hailing from Fremont, Ohio, Vecchio spent much of her time outdoors, often spending summers at the lake, captivated by the water and the beauty of nature. She chose to pursue art in college, studying in southeastern North Carolina, where she developed a deep affection for the state before returning to Ohio in 2016. Her formative years significantly shaped her artistic vision. Vecchio holds two Associate Degrees, one in Graphic Design and the other in Fine Arts, as well as a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design.
After a successful 12-year career as a full-time graphic designer, she made the bold decision to leave the corporate world to focus entirely on her painting and manage her fine art business. Her work is driven by a profound passion for creating unique pieces that evoke the emotions of nature, reflecting the visual elements of land, sea, and sky.
