Locust Manor Website

Set on a hill overlooking the scenic Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, New York, Locust Grove includes a historic estate, including art galleries, a museum, and a Nature Preserve with 200 acres of landscaped grounds and five miles of hiking trails

Located in their Visitors Center, the Transverse Gallery is dedicated to continuing the century-long tradition of displaying art by contemporary artists. Starting with Samuel Morse in the 1850s and continuing on with the Young family from 1895 through the 1970s, art was a central focus of the estate & its owners. Locust Grove carries on that appreciation for art today at the Transverse Gallery, with four solo exhibitions each year featuring selected artists.

Mary Ahern’s Artist Statement: In my garden, I cultivate both plants & artistic inspiration. My art bridges garden & gallery, inviting intimate observation of nature. Through my art, I embed hidden philosophies discovered in my garden’s contemplative spaces.
