Harriet "Bing" Thayer: A long-time Irondequoit resident, Bing Thayer is certainly one of the area's most respected watercolor artists and teachers. She has been painting for over 67 years, and her reputation only grows with time. Although she currently teaches and sells from her home studio, she has been affiliated with galleries across the United States in the past. She has won 160 awards at both the local and national level and one international award, and her paintings are in over 3000 private and corporate collections in 27 states, Canada, England, Japan and India. At 88, Bing shows no sign of slowing down and neither does the demand for her work and teaching. In 2001, she was honored with a program dedicated to her work, "Retrospective of an Artist," sponsored by the Rochester Art Club and filled to SRO capacity at the Nazareth College Arts Center by her enthusiastic fans.

Bing's window, titled "Dance of the Lamps" is done in pen and ink and collage and was inspired by the baskets of flowers hanging from the lampposts at the Titus-Cooper intersection for the past couple of summers.
