Girl in the Garden by Litt |
BARBARA LITT
Barbara taught art in the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District for 30 years. Although she works in many mediums, recently she favors oils. Retirement has enabled Barbara to concentrate on her painting and act as a volunteer guide at the Brandywine River Museum.
KATHY TRAPP
Over the Fence by Trapp | Kathy has taken a variety of art classes, but was influenced most while studying with Karl J. Kuerner at Darlington. She recently returned to art upon entering a room of artists and being overwhelmed by the smell of paint and the creative energy. Her subjects vary, but stone buildings and ruins often indicate man and his presence in nature. |
