DEMAREST—The Demarest Free Public Library is featuring Recent Travel Photographs, an exhibit by local photographer John Mancuso, through Feb. 28.
Mancuso’s exhibit showcases photographs from his travels to Tuscany, Sicily, California, and New Jersey. His passion for photography spans decades, starting with a makeshift darkroom in his tiny Manhattan kitchen. While he has taken photography courses, much of his expertise is self-taught through trial and error.
Mancuso’s interests extend beyond photography to art, engineering, healthcare, and technology. He studied at the Art Students League in Manhattan with Robert Hale, attended Brooklyn Technical High School, and completed graduate studies at NYU.
Before retiring in 2021, Mancuso worked as a physical therapist, hospital administrator, and project manager for Epic electronic medical records.
A Demarest resident for nearly 30 years, Mancuso says he hopes visitors enjoy his work. For information about the exhibit or purchasing inquiries, contact him at johnmatman@yahoo.com. Stop by the Demarest Free Public Library before the end of February to view this inspiring collection.
