Ron Bevilacqua has been creating sculptures for over 35 years. Living amidst tall trees and granite glacier boulders has inspired him to work with what nature supplies. Much of the material he works with comes from the shores of Adirondack mountain lakes and local wooded areas in Bucks County. Ron’s studio is available for instruction to aspiring artists and to those who just need a place to work in a creative atmosphere.
The sculptures he creates represent an intense relationship between himself and the material with which he works. His art, which symbolizes life, comes from within the material. He first look for a suggested image in wood or stone that can be enhanced to represent a human or animal form, be it realistic, representational or abstract. The finished sculptures can be meaningful, thought provoking or whimsical. Ron’s sculptures are part of private collections and can also be see in most regional exhibitions.

Bucks County woodturner Jill Biros creates one-of-a-kind bowls that are both decorative and functional. From rough log to finished bowl is a year-long journey. Crafted on a lathe from solid pieces of recovered hardwood, each unique bowl is signed and identified. Using graceful curves and careful finishing techniques, Jill enjoys letting the wood guide her artistic expression. She approaches her work with this heartfelt wish: “Let me honor this tree by revealing its intrinsic beauty”. Jill’s work has been written about in The Philadelphia Inquirer, Philadelphia Magazine and was featured in Martha Stewart Living magazine.

Visual patterns have been part of my creative process since early childhood when I struggled as a lefty kid to learn the Palmer method of handwriting. As an adult, I have relied on patterns to bring balance and meaning to my often-hectic life, and tried to learn from those that occur in my habits and relationships.
Much of my artwork is based on the meaningful patterns that emerge from ancient and universal systems of divination such as the I Ching, Runes and astrological charts. Like every other system in the universe, underlying the apparently random, chaotic events of life, are order, structure and meaning. One “casts” an I Ching “hexagram” or reads a Rune just as one throws the dice. But while the symbol on the dice tells us whether we have “won,” or “lost,” the symbols found in these ancient yet universal constructs tell us “why”. Mandalas and astrological charts provide a road map or snapshot of the universe so that one can navigate the sometimes treacherous waters of the unconscious

Glenn Harren often quotes history’s great artists. Quite unprovoked, he will share an appropriate quip from John Singer Sargent or recount a story once told by Edward Hopper. While Harren’s unique ability to immediately recall art’s famous quotes can humble even the most committed art historian,they are a subtle expression of his love for fine art and for it’s rich history.

I am a graduate of UARTS. I began painting outdoors with my artist father at the age of 8 and still favor landscapes and seascapes. My studio and my home are in Meadowbrook (Abington), but I do most of my painting, exhibiting and "plein air" teaching in this area. Though I have always painted in watercolors, oil is now an important part of my work since 2005. I am a new member of the Artsbridge Board, an organization I believe is very important to the cultural vitality of this region.

My artwork is varied; using found materials. I think of it as putting together a jigsaw puzzle, which is pretty much my overall approach to art and design. Sometimes my work even appears as unfinished, but I intentionally leave it to be completed in the viewer's mind to solicit response. I also run Art Chatter, a local art web site for promotion of artists and galleries.

Often he combines a vast array of materials and styles in one piece. "I believe there is beauty inherent in all things. Only through close observation and creative thought can we find meaning and see beyond or through apparent ugliness to gaze upon that beauty."

Included here are some pictures of my artwork and inspirational healing
stories. Included also are updates on where to see my work.
My work is about responding to a singular universal moment that expresses the bonds we share with each other and with our surroundings. I have always been a visual learner. Intrigued by designs, textures, colors, the way things work, move, & come together in any given visual plane, natural or man-made. To create has always been my desire. Be it textiles, photography, cards, woodworking, home interiors, and most recently, painting.
A natural evolution in my work brought me to painting in oils. And it now both nourishes & consumes me. Much of my work is influenced by the pastoral surroundings of my childhood in Hopewell, NJ, and the Delaware River region, as well as by the many talented Bucks County artists that reside in this area.

www.sharonshawart.comThe challenge of plein aire painting is discovering a single picture that isolates itself from a tremendous world of visual information. The joy is stalking an idea then finding the wisdom to know when you have successfully finished. Wes was enrolled at the Art Center of Design in Pasadena, California. After graduation, Wes was offered a position at NW Ayer Philadelphia by Charles Coiner, noted painter from the New Hope School of painting. Wes has also taught at the Museum School of Art in Philadelphia as well as the School of Visual Arts in New York.
