ROCHESTER - The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts will exhibit a selection of works by Scotty Arsenault in the Carnegie Gallery at the Rochester Public Library.

Arsenault is a native of New Hampshire, living and working in Dover as a multimedia illustrator and freelance 2D animator.

"It was all cartoons for me, growing up in Salem," he says. "Drawing on paper plates with crayons, scribbling on the walls in my bedroom, or doodling in my notebooks at school when I should have been studying.

"When I set out on my own, I found myself learning how to make cartoons the way the professionals do. To this day, I'm still trying to figure it all out. My sketches and watercolors reflect the colorful worlds I imagined myself in as a kid."

The exhibit run from Saturday to Nov. 30. A small opening reception will be held in the Carnegie Gallery from 1-3 p.m. on Saturday. The public is encouraged to attend. The Rochester public Library is located at 65 South Main Street, Rochester.

The Rochester Museum of Fine Arts is sponsored by Rochester Main Street, the City of Rochester, Bernier Insurance, Holy Rosary Credit Union and Hannaford Supermarkets. Visit www.rochestermfa.org for more information.
