Pat Martin of the Robert Beck Academy. Fantastic!

Artist: Pat Martin, Just Passing Through, Oil on board.

My paintings and drawings are about the process of creation and its endless possibilities. I try to merge or partner with a variety of materials and techniques to create my own visual language.

Born and educated in California, Pat Martin moved with her family to the New Hope area in the late 1960s. Since 1977, she has had many solo exhibitions and has participated in more than sixty group exhibitions, including the James A. Michener Art Museum, the Newark Museum, Ellerslie and the Noyes Museum.

Pat is a well loved local artist and is currently an instructor with the Robert Beck Academy here in Lambertville.  Thanks Pat! Look for her on the Buck's County Elephant's Eye Studio Tour in mid May.

Suzanne Douglass. It's arrived.

Famed Lambertville artist, friend, and good neighbor, Suzanne Douglass, has come through for the scholarship fund once again with perhaps one of her best works. Oil on board, 18 x 28" size.

Entitled: Woman. Thank you Suzanne. We love you.

A native of McDonald, Pennsylvania, Suzanne Douglass loved to draw as a child. Educated at the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, she also studied with Frank Schoonover and Frank Delle Donne, both of the N.C. Wyeth, Howard Pyle school. Later, she studied with portrait painter, Margaret Yard Tyler at her school in Montclair, New Jersey and had an early, successful career as a commissioned portrait painter.

Artfull Eye Donates Vintage Print of New Hope.

Michael McClintock of Artfull Eye Fine Art and Antiques, and Frame Shop has donated another vintage collectible art piece to this year's auction. (Couldn't fit it on a poster blank so we'll auction it alone).

Artist: Robert Bruce Moyer (1913-1969) was a painter and printmaker in New Hope, PA.
This is a hand-colored print, looking toward the Delaware at the old Martine's building and Farley's book shop c. 1930's. Beautifully graphic in excellent condition. Image area 9 x 12".

Thanks Michael! We appreciate your continued support.

Carol Sanzalone.

Artist: Carol Sanzalone. "Lambertville Spring Color", 18 x 28", Acrylic and matted.

Carol is a member of the Artists' Gallery here in Lambertville and has been contributing poster art since the event began in the 1980's. She has exhibited and taught art throughout the Delaware Valley. A former art teacher at South Hunterdon Regional High School, she has also taught at Douglass College and Tyler School of Art.

Thanks Carol for another fine piece!
