The Meaning of the Lighthouse
The lighthouse offers a sense of direction. It tells you that you’re not lost. The lighthouse is a fixture. It has a constant place and a constant role: to give us a point of reference when we might not have a sense of our way. The lighthouse doesn’t do it for us. It doesn’t tell us the way. But it gives us an indication so that you can decide. The lighthouse isn’t a natural creation. It is a human creation. It is not a monument to be revered but rather a signal that all can receive. It is one of the oldest embodiments of our care and regard for our fellow human beings. It is a living symbol of the fact that we think it is right for others to be able to find their way.
It tells you that there is safety, security, that there is a boundary to where the journey can end.

Main Gallery — Roger Muzii
Orazio (Roger) Muzii was born in the Bronx in 1952. I am a third generation non-professional artist. My father Luigi was an amateur painter as was his uncle and teacher, Nicola Vitale. Like them, I do realistic, representational paintings (in oil) and drawings in graphite, charcoal or pastel. I have taken art classes and workshops at Silvermine Art Center in New Caanan, CT and Emily Denise Fine Arts in Tarrytown, NY. My approach to art has largely followed the Atelier method. Prior to that I completed a BA in Psychology at NYU in 1974 and a certificate in Physical Therapy also at NYU in 1976. I received a Ph.D. In Psychology from Columbia University in 1988 (neuroscience not clinical). I have done clinical work in PT in Manhattan and Westchester and have taught psychology at Columbia Teachers College as an adjunct and Physical Therapy at New York Medical College. I live in Sleepy Hollow, NY.
