Welcome to the July issue of the Geary Gallery Guide. Nothing says summer like beautiful soft pastel paintings, and few people do pastels like New York resident, Eileen Serwer. Take a break from the hustle and bustle of summertime activities and come see "Eileen Serwer: Passion for Pastels," through July at the Gallery.

We’d like to thank everyone who joined us for the 4th Annual Click It for Cassie Softball Tournament on June 16. Due to the great turn-out and the support of Herb’s local Vending Truck, many of Cassie’s friends who sold baked goods, and the teams that showed up to play, the event was enormously successful. If you’re interested in donating to the Foundation, or would like more information, visit the Click It for Cassie website.

Thank you again for your patronage and support, and we ask you to consider Geary Gallery when you are searching for a unique gift, or need a treasured photograph or painting framed or consider commissioning an original portrait for your loved one.

100 and counting! Thanks to everyone who liked our fan page. Our new goal is 150 fans on our Geary Gallery Facebook page. Help us by sharing our Facebook page with your friends!

Sincerely,

Anne & Tom Geary

Custom Original Portrait Service
Wouldn’t it be charming to have a painting of your summer home or "secret hideaway" hanging in your home or office? Geary Gallery’s Custom Original Portrait Service makes it easy and affordable to commission a portrait of a family, individual, pet or even your home or favorite vacation spot. Individual portraits are available in oil, pastel or graphite. Houses in pen & ink or acrylic, and pet portraits are available in oil. The artists were chosen due to their mastery of their particular subject and medium, and their portfolios are available to view at our portraits gallery.

We Deliver Your Art to Your Car
To help parents with babies and small children who are unable to easily leave their car, Geary recently announced Curbside Pick-up, which allows customers to call from their car when they’re in the gallery parking lot to pick up their work, and a gallery employee will bring it to them. Call (203) 655-6633.

Eileen Serwer is known for her passion for pastels: Pastel water scenes, pastel street scenes, pastel panoramas.

A resident of New York City and the East End of Long Island, Serwer's work has been exhibited in many prestigious juried, solo and group shows, including the Salmagundi Club in New York City, The International Association of Pastel Societies, The United Pastelists of America, The Pastel Society of the West Coast, The Degas Pastel Society, The Jemison-Carnegie Heritage Hall Museum in Alabama, The Connecticut Pastel Society, The Pastel Painters of Cape Cod, The Elaine Benson Gallery in Bridgehampton, NY, The Blue Hill Cultural Center in Pearl River, NY, The Works Gallery and The National Association of Women Artist’s Gallery, both in New York City.

She has received many awards, including several from the Pen and Brush and Manhattan Arts International. In April 2001, Serwer had an article published in The Artist’s Magazine, entitled "Layers of Suggestion," wherein she described how she creates pastel paintings. Two of her paintings were selected for the covers of Dan’s Papers and The Montauk Pioneer — both Long Island publications.
