"recent works" |
Opening Reception: Saturday, August 7, 4-8pm Show Open through August 31
 Painters Kaela Parkhouse and Eric Ermigiotti are joined by printmaker Regina Stoltz bringing together their unique perspectives of our local and historic landscapes together with ceramicist Laura B. Westmoreland's functional yet beautiful pottery.
Come meet these talented artists at the free opening reception.
 Oil paintings by Eric Ermigiotti are mostly representational and primarily painted on site depicting landscapes and architectural scenes found throughout Bucks County and Philadelphia.
Kaela Parkhouse lives and works in Philadelphia exploring the interplay and inherent beauty of people, buildings and natural objects through her watercolors. 
Regina Stoltz's work is a series of single-color block prints focusing on farm landscapes and historic Pennsylvania buildings. Each print uses one color to graphically capture an important view of the historic or farm site, and pattern and mark making to capture the intriguing interplay of light and shadow. The series began as a series of farm landscapes in the Bucks county region and branched out into a series of historic buildings and landscapes through out Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
 Laura B. Westmoreland
Ceramicist Laura B. Westmoreland's recent stoneware pottery blends everyday function with imaginative use. Several works involve multiple pieces that can be used and displayed in a variety of ways, exploring relationships in form, function and idea. This creative use invites the viewer to participate in the thought processes behind the pots. |

Faculty Focus |
Paula Rivera, voice instructor, has started a new opera company, Children's Opera Box, that brings abridged versions of mainstream operas to children and schools. Their performance of Humperdinck's Hansel and Gretel on August 3 at Tabor Lutheran Church is open to the public. Together with 6 professional opera singers and accompanist, the campers from the Tabor Youth Development Center's Summer Camp are making a special appearance as the Gingerbread Children. Paula is the founder and artistic director of the company.
Geri Smith, piano instructor and singer/songwriter, has just released her newest children's music with John Hadfield. The song entitled "Bookmobile Submarine" was inspired by the Delaware Libraries' summer reading program "Make a splash at the library".
