New Exhibit Features Work of Maria Tripp

COOPERSTOWN—“Remember and Celebrate,” an art exhibit honoring the late Maria Tripp, has opened at the Cooperstown Art Association.

In a glass showcase, the exhibit contains Tripp’s acrylic paintings created in May-Britt’s Studio on Railroad Avenue over the past few years.

Subjects include Otsego Lake, four seasons of a tree on Fair Street, the Stone Bridge and a few other locations, including Pyramid Lake, where Tripp participated annually in writing workshops. A short comment for each piece of artwork illustrates Tripp’s boundless personality depicted in her painting and writing.

Tripp resided in Cooperstown since 1971, where she raised her two sons and worked in several institutions, including Bassett Research Institute and the former New York State Historical Association. She was married to the late Wendell Tripp for more than 35 years.

Tripp passed away on May 9, 2023.
