The Crab Shack, Orient, NY

Jlee Elsbree / print

The story goes that eventually, every Saturday afternoon, the Orient business men would get together and have dinner at the crab shack. They would discuss everything under the sun. Yes, crabs were eaten, along with many other Peconic Bay treasures. So naturally one would assume the name came from the crabs that were always on the docks of the shack. But rumor has it became known as the Crab Shack from all the “older” gentleman that gathered there and "crabbed" about everything.

Long Island is my home and subject matter for inspiration in all my work. As a young child, I was encouraged, by my mother, to draw and paint. I went on to take every art related class offered in High School. I attended SUNY New Paltz with a Summer at the Universite’ de la Cite’ in Paris traveling through Europe to see the “Old Masters”. After graduation, I taught art on the High School level and took Master Classes at Pratt Institute. I’ve worked in most 2-D media and started using watercolor in 2012, for local scenes. I also paint personal and religious paintings in acrylic on canvas. My watercolor paintings are Giclée Printed on Cold Press Bright Watercolor Art Paper with archival pigment inks that are guaranteed not to fade over time. Each frame is handcrafted by a master framer with over 30 years of experience, and ships right to your door ready to hang.
