Renee Egan
Renee is an avid oil painter. She began her art training at Paier School of Art in Connecticut and received her BFA at The College of New Jersey. She continues to take graduate courses at The Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia.
Renee has won several awards in Bucks County’s juried shows for her landscapes and charcoal portraits, and was a New Jersey high school art teacher for 18 years. She currently teaches privately in her studio in Yardley and at AOY art Center in Yardley Pa. You can see Egan's work regularly in local juried shows and galleries around the Bucks County area.
 
Pat Proniewski
"Perhaps I’m a landscape or floral painter. Whatever the case, it’s the light and the drama it creates which is the real subject of my work, and has fascinated me since childhood. Painting affords me the opportunity to study and interpret light and its ability to create shadow, model form, punctuate textures, define space, set a mood, and emphasize the subtleties of color. Sometimes I'm inspired to embellish or simplify what I see. Whatever is done, I aim for the viewer to examine the reality I consider before me."
 
Arlene Freed
"Being an artist has been a lifelong choice. There are very few mediums that I haven’t put my hands on. I’ve loved each and every art form that I’ve tried, including … pottery, sculpting, sewing, knitting, painting, jewelry, murals, and more.
After receiving a BA in Advertising and Design from The College of New Jersey, I spent a number of years as a graphic artist. But the desire to work with my hands took over, and I spent 20 years as a metalsmith, handcrafting jewelry, and selling my work at fine craft shows and galleries around the country."

"The World Series of Autism"

Nicholas St. Clair
"The World Series of Autism"
 
"My name is Nicky St Clair.
I was born in Northeast Philadelphia and when I was 2 years old, I was diagnosed with autism. It was tough for my family, because they had no idea what the future had in-store for me. It was a scary and unpredictable time. My parents did anything they could to help me learn how to communicate and even brought tutors to the house because elementary school was very challenging.
 
My passion for drawing started at a very young age. I would watch a wide range of cartoons on Disney, Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network. Watching animation and playing video games contribute to my inspiration and creativity as well. I always dreamed of what it would be like to have my very own cartoon series with my own characters. So I was inspired to create a comic book when I was only 12 years old. I found drawing flip books during my early teenage years helped me to talk to people. It gave me the confidence to communicate to more and more people and to make friends through my creativity. In high school at the age of 15, my passion for art grew larger. I would bring a notebook with me everyday to school and doodled in it whenever possible. At this point I was still somewhat socially awkward, but I still kept drawing no matter what. It helped counter the negativity I experienced and opened the doors to meeting new people.
 
When I graduated high school, I took the next step and pushed myself to create art everyday. This hard work paid off when my artwork featuring baseball teams was seen by the right person. In 2018 an autism organization called The Camden County Partnership for Children invited me to speak. My speech made me realize that exhibiting my artwork and my diligence has helped both my art career and my social life. I have had the chance to make friends and talk to many people. It has made me more grateful for the people that were there for me and I also found a way to relate to other people with autism. I started volunteering to help others with autism and became a mentor. It was this that made me decide what I really wanted to do in life. To create art and to take the opportunity to be a mentor and to speak for those who struggle with autism. My comics, animations, posters, and sports murals have given me the confidence to express my passion for art and communicate with others in the community."
 
Displayed Artwork Will Be Viewable At Our 2 South Street Location From April 5th Through the 30th.

'Ideas and Color'
 
"I consider myself a multi-media artist but more often I paint in acrylics.
I have an affinity for color. I fell in love with color theory after taking the 2D color and design course at Bucks County Community College. Funny story... I had to take it twice because I failed the first time."
 
"Art is a way of extracting what I'm feeling
Art understands"
 
"I am a believer that pictures do not do justice and I am honored to have an opportunity to display my work in a physical establishment.
See it with your own eyes, I hope it makes you feel like you are not alone."

Connie Dierks

"I have a bachelor's degree in art from the University of Virginia. I've lived in Bucks County, Pennsylvania for over 25 years, and I retired 4 years ago. I've always painted in my spare time, and still do... I just have a lot more of it now. I enjoy working with both oil and watercolor."

"To be honest, I'd much rather be painting than trying to write this artist's statement. To say I'm fascinated by any particular subject or lighting would be too limiting. I am more interested in evoking a mood than in merely capturing a likeness of the image. Using form, composition, color, and brushstrokes/palette knife to create an impression of a landscape, the figure, or still life—my ultimate goal is to capture a feeling."

One of Alexander's primary artistic goals is to combine modernism with grotesque realism. Through the prism of this combination of the real and unreal he attempts to depict a unique concept.

"I'm creating permanent images of impermanent objects at their most impermanent moments."
 
Alexander Serebryany's original works can be seen on display at our South State Street Gallery throughout the month of August.

In a short period of time Kelly has received several awards including Artist Choice for her pen and ink "Day Off" and Honorable Mention for her pen and ink "The Farm". Both of which hang at the Health and Wellness Center in Warrington where Kelly works as a phlebotomist for Doylestown Health. Kelly is also a member of the Doylestown Art League showing twice a year in their juried exhibition. Her patients, family and friends have also commissioned her to create pencil drawings from their cherished photos. Although Kelly is most comfortable working in pen and ink, graphite and color pencil, Kelly also explores watercolor under the guidance of Tom Rutledge at the Thomas E. Rutledge Artist Guild in West Creek. Kelly Sterr's original artwork can be found on permanent display at our South State Street gallery. Kelly is also now accepting commissions.

Happy Trees!

JOIN US for our 9th Annual Youth Art Show June 2023!
 
 
*Students have chosen our "Art for a Cause" theme for our June 2023 art show: Environmental Protection and Conservation.
 
"Happy Trees!"
A collection of paintings by 23 aspiring young artists and 1 collaborative painting will be on display for the community at @Countryside_gallery from June 3rd - June 29th, 2023.
 
Note cards and posters featuring each of the students paintings will be on sale as well as a silent auction with 100% of proceeds to benefit The Arbor Day Foundation, a conservation and protection of the environment nonprofit.

For the month of June, paintings created by 23 local youth artists celebrating the beauty of nature and enjoying the outdoors will be on display at Countryside Gallery in historic Newtown.
 
The art show is titled “Happy Trees” as a fun nod to the late landscape painter Bob Ross. The students, whose ages range from 10-17, are using their artistic talent to raise awareness about protecting our environment. Next to each of their paintings is a tip on how we can all help by making changes in our daily lives. When we pollute our environment, we ultimately pollute ourselves. With traces of chemicals, metals, plastics, and PFAS showing up in human cells, the choices we make now are more important than ever.
In addition to creating each of their own works of art, the students are working together to complete one collaborative painting which will be sold to the highest bidder as a fundraiser. Their 12” x 16” acrylic painting is titled Springtime at Tyler Park. Bidding entry forms for the silent auction of this piece will be available at the art show.
If you would like to place a bid on Springtime at Tyler Park but cannot get to the gallery for a bidding form, bids can also be made via email at youthartsilentauctionbids@aol.com.
 
Bidding ends June 30th 2023 and the highest bidder will be contacted shortly after. Greeting cards featuring each of the student’s individual paintings will be on sale for $3.00 each. 100% of proceeds from the note card sale and silent auction piece will be donated to The Arbor Day Foundation.
 
Participating artists: Amelia Binkley, Mia Brady, Allison Cirillo, Victoria Cirillo, Taylor Dahms, Lily Esposito, Paarth Kunwar, Andrew Loudon, Tim Loudon, Darcy McCullough, Evangeline McGarry, William McNamara, Amelia Mlynarczyk, Ava Peterson, Jane Reifsneider, Chris Riether, Elizabeth Rubenstein, Violet Schroeher, Anna Sherwin, Addy Smith, Kate Smith, Ian Stone, and Sean Williams.
The community is invited to view the students’ paintings on display from June 3rd through June 29th. Admission is free and smiles are guaranteed, so please come out and support our aspiring youth artists and their cause. While you are there, have your photo taken with Bob Ross!

*ART FOR A CAUSE: Each spring we have an "Art for A Cause" themed art show held at Countryside Gallery in historic Newtown in early June. Art can do more than decorate! Art can educate, influence and inspire. I encourage students to use art to raise awareness and support the causes that they are passionate about in a positive and proactive way. The students suggest causes that are important to them and then vote on the cause that will be the theme of our art show each year.

"I started painting children’s pastel portraits and have moved on to large colorful paintings of beach scenes, boats, people, dogs, or anything near water. "

Tine tries to chronicle daily events with my art and with color. "I paint through creativity, feeling what i see before me. I use bold colors when painting."

"Painting is fun and glorious experience for me - I try to make it colorful, beautiful and meaningful and in looking at my work I hope that you see the joy and delight in the scenes, things and people like you that I paint. My work is about life itself, with a touch of humor."

Graham is an author, too, of 10 illustrated children’s books. Many of them explore the world from a pet’s perspective, with a dash of whimsy. Her artworks are displayed in galleries in Bay Head, NJ; Nantucket, MA; Amelia Island and Fernandina Beach, FL.

A native of Bucks County April creates in her workshop home in Wrightstown, PA.

Throughout her life April Ann itched to travel and visually experience the world; so she spends her time exploring and “Journaling Life” thru her art, a good amount of it in her home in Northern Spain. The light is different there, naturally. The light, culture, color, surroundings, and experiences are reflected in April's work. "Wherever I may be, travels both near and far I enjoy exploring how to represent the elements of life around me. It is an exploration of the world and bringing the inner visual image out on canvas."

The influence of April trekking in Northern Spain, Southern France,
Morocco, Cuba, northern New York, London, England and Delft, Holland to name a few places is apparent
in her work here locally; the color and inspiration comes thru.

"We take our past into our future."
Pastel is April's medium of choice for working en plein aire, selected for its rich color, texture and immediate
results. Almost always you’ll find April sketching and painting local scenes with graphite, watercolor and ink; wherever she may be. It’s “Journaling of Life” it’s what she is about.

Through creating April finds avenues to document her thoughts and opinions, and express the colors and mental
images that exist in her mind’s eye. Journaling the world as she sees it and sharing it with others is key to her
work; visually documenting experiences and relationships that have shaped her life. With context for the paintings coming from life’s experiences and surroundings April continues to explore bringing the inside out as a life goal.

April Ann studied at Temple University and Tyler School of Art. She enjoys independent studies in life drawing.
April has a background in botanical illustration. "The best though is painting with artist friends and creating with my partner Paul. He and I work in multimedia; metals, stone, re-purposed materials, wood… you name it we use it."
April sponsors the growth of fine art expression thru art class workshops and bringing young people the idea of a “Journaling Life” workshop for young students; most recently teaching at R.I.’s
Henry Barnard School, a part of Rhode Island College.

April Ann's sculpture “Leaf Down” was in the prestigious Phillips Mill 91st Juried Exhibition. Her paintings have shown in Philips’ Mill and Ellarslie Open juried exhibitions. Recently she was honored to receive first place at Willingboro Art Alliance Juried plein air competition and received award at the Absecon Art Alliance plein air Paint-out. April's gallery shows included “The Way We Saw Morocco” Wrightstown, “Perspectives In Travel” New Hope PA, and private exhibition at Newtown’s own Countryside Gallery.

 "I'm creating permanent images of impermanent objects at their most impermanent moments."
 
Parna Surabischwili
Parna signs his works P. Zurabishvili. This is the proper spelling of his Georgian last name (an homage to his roots in the beautiful Transcaucasian jewel of a country, Georgia). 
Parna was born in 1965 to a family of an artist-painter father and singer, language teacher mother. He started painting around the age of six, and developed his love for art and his skills by watching his father paint large compositions and portraits. 
He studied at the Tbilisi Academy of Fine Arts. After graduating, he married his college sweetheart, also an artist, Matiko Mamaladze. Parna lives with his family in Media, PA, loves the outdoors, and paints everything that impresses and charms him. 
 “Pure art is an artist’s expression of his excitement or impression by manipulating available mediums into original and unique creations.”
“I don’t think the truthful and masterful copying of an image onto the canvas fits my definition of art. It only becomes art when there’s an original and innovative approach present, which transforms mere ‘transcription’ into artistic transfiguration.”

 When Jean stepped away from her professional career in 2000 she began to paint seriously.  At that time she had the privilege of meeting Bucks County artist James Feehan.  Under his guidance Jean launched a new career path dedicated to painting still life subjects.  The availability of instructional materials, workshops, galleries and museums broadened her vision.  As a docent at the James Michener Art Museum in Doylestown, PA, Jean continued to gain insight into style and technique.  The journey to the present has been both satisfying and rewarding.  Jean has been juried into prestigious shows and has won awards.  Many of her paintings are in private collections as well as the Trenton City Museum. The journey is far from over, however, for each painting presents new challenges and the joy of successful completion.

"Extraordinary paintings of ordinary objects are intoxicating to me.  They entice me to paint still life subjects in the realist tradition.  My subjects of choice are often common, everyday objects which show the beauty marks of age and wear.  The patinas of tarnished metals and discolored enamelware, worn surfaces and damaged edges invite me to explore the depths and  nuances of their lights and shadows.  Hopefully the aesthetic of the arrangement, based on light, color, line and shape, creates an enduring dynamic."

Bucks County painter and portrait artist George Gospodinov was born in Eastern Europe. His passion for art began during formal childhood lessons at the Fine Arts School in his birth town in Sofia, Bulgaria under direct guidance of Rumen Nechev. Naturally, George idolizes art history. Inspired by the genius of both Michelangelo & Leonardo da Vinci, as well as classical Greek and Roman history. George studied human anatomy to transfer every human fiber on canvas.
He has painted for over three decades and in the past few years has found his inspirations in Newtown, Bucks County where he exhibits and engages with the local art community. Many of George's works reside in private collections. His main focus is to spur local artists to bring back the joy of the arts to the heart of Newtown. His original works can be seen on display at Countryside Gallery & Custom Frame Design throughout October into early November. George is also currently accepting client commissions.

STICKERTOWN 2021:
A collaborative showcase of National and International street artist bringing their urban masterpieces to the suburbs of Philadelphia throughout the month of August.
 
These metropolitan artists get their custom stickers printed, draw their stickers on crack and peel adhesive paper or “borrowed” USPS labels, & others will hand silkscreen their own vinyl stickers. Some incorporate this vinyl into their art pieces and others will use a homemade recipe of wheat paste to adhere their art to murals or the urban landscape. One thing is certain, all of these artists are wholly original and worthy of exhibition in a gallery of fine art. Come out this August to our South State Street Gallery and experience this showcase presented by _sevenwashere_ and sponsored by DRS for yourself!

Kelly Sterr has always been an artist at heart. Her artistic abilities reached a serious level about 2015 when Kelly became a member of Pine Shores Art Association.

Both of which hang at the Health and Wellness Center in Warrington where Kelly works as a phlebotomist for Doylestown Health. Kelly is also a member of the Doylestown Art League showing twice a year in their juried exhibition. Her patients, family and friends have also commissioned her to create pencil drawings from their cherished photos. Although Kelly is most comfortable working in pen and ink, graphite and color pencil, Kelly also explores watercolor under the guidance of Tom Rutledge at the Thomas E. Rutledge Artist Guild in West Creek. Kelly Sterr's original artwork can be found on permanent display at our South State Street gallery. Kelly is also now accepting commissions.

You Can Learn to Do Plein Air & Be A Part of a Bucks County Tradition!
 
THE BUCKS COUNTY PLEIN AIR TRADITION
Bucks County has a long tradition of plein air painting that began with the likes of William L. Lathrop who settled in New Hope in 1898 and started a summer art school. The area's rolling hills were spectacular, and the river, its tributaries, and the Delaware Canal were picturesque. The natural beauty attracted the artist Edward Redfield (1869-1965), who settled north of the town. Redfield painted nature in bold and vibrant colors, and was “the pioneer of the realistic painting of winter in America.” His thick layering distinguished him from his contemporaries, and he amassed more honors and awards than any other artist in the New Hope Colony. His style is distinguished by its color, light, and usual time of day when painting. The third major artist to settle in the area was Daniel Garber (1880-1958), who came to New Hope in 1907... known for his "luminous, poetic renditions of the Delaware River."

 The Wild Light Project:

The Wild Light Project was founded by Philadelphia based photographer Mercedes Spinetti in 2018. Beginning as a short study of landscape photographs, Wild Light Project ultimately grew into the collection of nature, portrait and exploration work that it is today. Mercedes’ inclination toward natural elements is translated through her work with the primary use of natural light and a subdued approach to her subject. Compiled, the Wild Light Project photographs build an authentic narrative.

Seven Strikes:

 Bucks County native Seven Strikes always dreamed of making a splash in the art world and those dreams materialized when he started as a tattoo artist at the young age of 20. The owner of Seven Strikes Studio is living the American dream. Seven came to the States at the age of nine. His journey didn't stop there.

Seven's talents don't stop there, he recently has dove head first into the modeling industry and has scored early success in magazine and print. This passion driven artist enjoys channeling his energy into endurance cycling, fire breathing, dance and performance art as well. Seven's original paintings can be found on permanent display at our South State Street gallery.

V Longo II

A Virginia Commonwealth graduate with a minor in photography. V turned his energy in the packaging industry for over thirty years, with numerous awards through his journey.

Now with his influence of Roger Dean (of YES), Jackson Pollack, Andy Warhol, and Patrick Nagel, V has turned his energy to drawing the female form with a style that uses minimal lines to create a look and feel to his art.

His creative eye helps him to formulate his colors into bright high concept works full of color, pizzazz, and energy. His works are enticement for the artistic eye and brightness for the spirit. They are one of a kind.

V Longo II is proud to announce that he will auction two original pieces of artwork during this month's exhibition to support A Love For Life charity and the nonprofits fight against Pancreatic Cancer. A purchase of a $10.00 raffle ticket will give you the opportunity to win an original work of art (valued at $500.00) from this premiere artist.

Kelly Sterr has always been an artist at heart. Her artistic abilities reached a serious level about 2015 when Kelly became a member of Pine Shores Art Association. With exceptional drawing skills Kelly's pen and only work is remarkable. In a short period of time Kelly has received several awards including Artist Choice for her pen and ink "Day Off" and Honorable Mention for her pen and ink "The Farm". Both of which hang at the Health and Wellness Center in Warrington where Kelly works as a phlebotomist for Doylestown Health. Kelly is also a member of the Doylestown Art League showing twice a year in their juried exhibition. Her patients, family and friends have also commissioned her to create pencil drawings from their cherished photos. Although Kelly is most comfortable working in pen and ink, graphite and color pencil, Kelly also explores watercolor under the guidance of Tom Rutledge at the Thomas E. Rutledge Artist Guild in West Creek. Kelly Sterr's original artwork can be found on permanent display at our South State Street gallery. Kelly is also now accepting commissions. Her original artwork as well as signed giclee can be seen on display at our South State Street gallery the entire month of July.
