  • The Nottingham Connection
    THE NOTTINGHAM CONNECTION 3100 East Genesee Street ▪ Syracuse , New York 13224 2018 And the ART Goes On…… Brendan Rose Nottingham Alumnus, Class of 1993 During his Nottingham High School years Brendan Rose often displayed his creative think-outside-of-the-box personality traits. He enjoyed draw- ing faces, portraits and assorted doodles and participated in 2D an 3D art classes. Advanced art classes at Levy Middle School and Mrs. Archer’s art classes at Edward Smith Elementary school were earlier influ- ences on his talent. His NHS senior yearbook picture comment includes “carpe diem” and “can i have a letuce (lettuce?) cup with that?” (The refer- ence is so far unexplained.) Brendan earned an architecture degree from SUNY at Buffalo and then worked for a large architectural firm in Seattle for four years. He moved back to Syracuse and helped build a traditional rustic home (in Fenner, NY) for his father and stepmother, using stone and timber from the property. He enrolled in graduate school and earned a master’s degree in architecture from Syracuse University. Architecture combines knowledge in science and math. Brendan decided he needed to find a way to balance the defined rules of architecture with his more creative side. The first year after grad school Brendan began to explore the community here and started to design and build public art projects. He works mainly in metals and wood. Brendan submitted a proposal for a sculpture to be in- stalled by City Hall Commons and it was accepted. The summer project resulted in “The Hand”. He says that was the first time people referred to him as an artist.
