GREENE – A cultural success continues to grow in downtown Greene as a local art gallery moves into its new historical location, more than doubling its size and capacity.

Heart Song Designs Art Gallery and Custom Framing has relocated from the center of the village to its new location at the Historic Train Depot, just across the bridge on Washington Street. The Gallery is owned and operated by artist and life resident Joni Eaton.

The gallery is now open, and with the increased space, Eaton has been able to create an art classroom in the back of her gallery and a personal workshop. Eaton is a New York State Certified Art Educator and master calligrapher with over 34 years of experience.

“The art of the letter is really my forte,” said Eaton. She is also an expert picture framer and oil painter. “Frame work and antique frame restoration, has been the bread winner, we can design a frame for anything,” she said. Eaton also said she has been searching for a job as an art teacher but hasn’t yet had any offers.
