During the summer and fall of 2002, the Saratoga County Arts Council and the YMCA of Saratoga presented Horses, Saratoga Style, a whimsical and unique outdoor sculpture exhibit featuring 24 fiberglass horses. These horses were transformed by 34 visual artists, working singularly, in pairs and, in one case, through collaboration with 11 artists. These magnificent sculptures were vibrantly brought to life to tell a story or awaken memories of a unique place or time. Horses, Saratoga Style, was on public display in Saratoga Springs from June through October, 2002.
Horses, Saratoga Style, 2007, featured thirty-four uniquely designed and executed creations by artists from the Capitol Region, Western New York, Vermont, and Massachusetts.
Paleo was painted by a well-known local artist, Ida Pagano.
Ida has a long list of venues where her work has been exhibited, including the Guilderland Pigtacular where sponsors selected two of her designs. Showings also at Arts Walk Hudson, RCCA Fence Show in Rensselaer, Colonie Art League Show, and Troy's Riverfront Art Show.
Ida has taught Sketching Nature to adults at Olana State Historic Site, Egg Tempura and Leaf Printing at Thatcher’s Park, and other arts and crafts to adults and children. She attended Geneseo SUNY where she earned a BS in Fine Arts.
