Mountaindale Local Artist Thumbnail-Elozua Studios

Mountaindale and its surrounding countryside have a multitude of treasures for people to see and enjoy, including many very talented artisans. In the first of what we hope is a series of thumbnail introductions, we would like you to meet local resident and incredibly talented artisan, Raymon Elozua.

Raymon Elozua is a sculptor and photographer who rented the old Fred Eckert garage as his studio. Since arriving in 2005 he has created http://www.vanishingcatskills.us/ as a documentary record of the remains of the hotel and bungalow colonies in Sullivan County. Currently he is working on a visual and oral history project on the egg farms in the area as well as working with Evadne Giannini and Allen Frishman to create the Catskills Bungalow Heritage Museum.
