Richard Brachman - Painter Through the ages, artists have provided visual documentation of their times. In that sense, Richard could be viewed as a traditional painter. An accomplished portrait artist with an interest in abstract expressionism, he created his first political works to comment on land use issues in NYC. Increasingly concerned with the current environmental and political situation, Richard paints socially conscious imagery of powerful and moving comment. His new paintings are a fusion of styles, images and symbols suggested by world events. From Honesdale: 1/2 mile on 191 North. Left onto Rt 670 15 miles.

Ursula Clark - Sculptor Fashioned from sticks, branches, grasses,vines, stones and fiber ropes, Ursula Clark’s intriguing constructions have an average life span of two to three years. She favors forms that are metaphors of protection and nurturing: nests, labyrinths, cocoons and lean-to dwellings. As conceptually sophisticated as they are formally primitive, Ursula’s creations weave together aspects of ritual, folklore and interdependence while reflecting a profound respect for the natural world.

Gabrielle Feldman - Painter Gabrielle describes herself as a visionary realist: “My paintings explore an idea while simultaneously interpreting my own unique vision of the object portrayed.” A representational painter, she offers content that is both engaging and diverse.

Philip Garfield - Photographer & Trix Render - Painter Woodlands are many things to many people. As seen through Philip Garfield’s camera, rocks, leaves, lichen, fungi, feathers–the clutter of the forest floor–are transformed into strong yet minimal images of nature revisited. His subject material–though often mundane objects and the minutiae of nature–acquires through his artistry and superb sense of composition a monumental or sculptural feel and an intriguing impression of dislocation. Philip’s fresh, surprising photographs push the genre of still life squarely into the 21st Century. From DSFI, South end of Main St, Honesdale: Turn left on to Route 6.

Phone 570 253 2088 http://waynecountyartsalliance.org/artists/garfield.html Trix Render - Painter Many qualities of Trix Render’s dream-like, metaphorical paintings draw from images and experiences of her childhood in the vast Orange Free State region of South Africa, where as Trix says, “you could see tomorrow yesterday.” A lover of birds, animals and nature, she paints detailed, primitivistic, haunting images of pets and woodland flora and fauna, which capture the dignity, violence, pathos and beauty of lives lived twice or fifty times faster than our own.

Hana Gorman - Puppet Maker Born in the Czech Republic, Hana learned the meticulous and ancient craft of puppet making from her parents, also puppeteers. Valued for their character, detail, balance and charm, Hana’s unique line of marionettes are sought by entertainers and collectors from home and abroad. She also produces original handcrafted jewelry, shadow boxes and small decorative kinetic sculptures whose themes of fantasy are inspired by classic European fairy tales. When not making art, Hana is teaching it to both adults and children. From downtown Honesdale: 191 North 1/2 mile. Left on Rt 670 for 4 miles. Left at Upper Crossroads Rd. 7/10 mile to stop sign.

Vincent Griffis - Wood Turner Vince Griffis’ unique line of artful wood-turned bowls, platters and vases is the antithesis of commercial mass production. By incorporating irregularities such as natural bark edging, knotholes, wormholes and bark inclusions, his stylish wood-ware transmits character, history, beauty and individuality. Produced from a large variety of local and exotic woods, Vince’s hand-turned objects are the product of his extensive knowledge and love of wood combined with fine old-world craftsmanship.

Linda Krause - Quilter An artist exploring the boundaries of avant-garde quilting, Linda incorporates silk, metallic and translucent cloths, fabrics of ethnic origin and design and traditional swatches of cotton. Intricately machined and hand embellished, her work also reads like a patchwork quilt of techniques and incorporates beading, brocade, hand painting and applique. Her sparkling and spontaneous designs are inspired by birds, places, events–and even by the fabrics themselves. Notably, reverse sides are often strikingly different and equally significant.

Richard Lichtenstein - Sculptor, Blacksmith, Painter Richard endeavors to produce electric and erotic tension by bringing together elements of fantasies with a human or animal form. There is a constant renewal of forms throughout his work. Exhibiting and teaching throughout the United States and Europe, he presents a diversity of imagery in a number of mediums.

Richard Miller - Stoneware In a world of plastic, degraded wood products, and shoddy craftsmanship, Dick Miller’s handcrafted stoneware is as restorative to the soul as it is pleasing to the eye. His vases, platters, clocks, boxes and tabletops are machined and constructed from slate and glacial boulders handpicked from quarries in Pennsylvania and New England. His unique style, elegant designs, and understated aesthetic echo oriental minimalism. From DSFI, South end of Main St., Honesdale: Rt 6 East 2.9 miles. Left on Rt 652 for 6.4 miles.

His luminous, sensitive watercolors capture pristine views of the Delaware River and its surrounding countryside.

In the studio, what he has absorbed “in the field” seeps into his paintings in subtle nuances of light, atmosphere, reflection, shadow and mood.

Raymond Rocklin - Sculptor Prior to his distinguished teaching career at City University of New York, Raymond experienced his formative years as an artist during his year-long residency in Italy as a Fulbright Scholar.

Johan Sellenraad - Painter Johan’s monumental 85-foot-long painting “Brooklyn Bridge” and his work as a founding member of NYC’s Art in the Subways program are clear examples of how the artist’s immediate surroundings define his work. “Painting for me is more about the process, about making something come alive, about its ability to thrill, astonish or create joy.” His recent paintings–the work of a master painter at his consummate best–are lively tableaus that join unconnected household objects in a theatrical dialogue of color, form and rhythm.

Ellen Silberlicht - Painter, Sculptor, Ceramist Ellen has taken her past explorations in clay and watercolors and married them in her abstracted floral garden pieces. An uncommon garden it is, made of clay, abounding in color... needing no water! She has synthesized the expression of joy and color she finds in painting with the clay forms she has been pinching through time. Her pieces stand tall as a single “flower” as well as create a flourishing garden. Ellen is also known as the “bowl lady”...spinning bowls on the potter’s wheel as she exposes her “contained” side.

Robert Townsend - Photography Rob’s work is a long term and far-reaching form of visual poetry. Since all things beautiful belong to the same age, yesterday’s image is no less immediate for today’s viewer. Cha-jin, or “man of tea”, was considered an arbiter of taste and beauty and has remained an inspiration for his work. The camera is merely a tool in his search for transient beauty through Zen thought. From North end of Main St. Honesdale: West on Rt 6 for 8.6 miles to Waymart Corners.

Nancy Wells - Mixed Media “For me, art is what comes from the gut, not the brain,” says Nancy Wells, explaining the primal energy of her work. Inspired by a lifelong interest in the duality of human nature–dark as well as light, the spirituality of primitive cultures and her own quest for alternative forms of expression–Nancy has created significant bodies of work as a figurative, expressionist and digital painter; non-traditional doll maker; printmaker; fiber artist; mask builder and photographer.

Tara Wilson - Painter, Potter Tara’s work reflects her keen observation of pattern and texture in natural forms. She plays with the light and shapes created by the intersecting and overlapping of tree branches and enjoys the complex patterns that are created. Her painted images have been described as a microscopic view of human connective tissue and “weblike images that could be neural networks seen through a magnifier or vapors mingling in space…” Tara’s thoughtful joy in the creative process is also evident in her earthenware pottery.
