Earl Lehman - The artist’s brushstrokes are lush and visceral. Layer upon layer the landscape takes on shapes and colors that combine abstract with representational, moodiness with vibrancy. Nature seems ablaze in Earl’s paintings, spilling over and morphing, the elements and colors seem to pass with urgency, bursting with expression. 

Unable to go to art school after high school, Earl joined the military in 1964, serving in the Philippines and Vietnam and NSA headquarters at Fort Meade, Maryland. Later he went to art school on the GI Bill, drawing and painting and graduating magna cum laude in 1979. He is a winer of the prestigious F. Lammot Belin Art Scholarship and was awarded a place on the PA Council of the Arts and the Arts in Education Roster. Earl taught and still teaches in this program and has been an artist in residence in schools and communities statewide. With a long teaching and exhibition history, Earl has won many awards. He believes that an artist is only as good as his last few paintings. 

The artist lives with his dog Luna in a house with a wall of windows that he built in the Susquehanna County woods, looking down on Tuscarora Creek, which flows into the Susquehanna River through a remote part of New York State, in a place called Laceyville.  Earl Lehman’s paintings have voices of their own, and he hopes that you enjoy their songs.

David Barnett says, “Nature has a magical, mysterious, and unknowable side to it. It is deserving of our respect and reverence. It bears an intelligence we are often too arrogant to recognize. Yet, its beauty and elegance enchant us. Constantly changing and growing throughout the four seasons, the creatures and elements of Nature offer a beautiful story of balance, harmony, continuity and change. This series of paintings serves to highlight the regality of nature and its creatures, ourselves included.”

David Barnett is a painter and plant lover based in Milanville, PA near the Delaware River. Having painted large scale murals and scenic backdrops since 2012, Barnett now focuses on smaller works, commissions and tending to his plants. Barnett has been painting for as long as he can recall, and is inspired by the masters who came before him — Impressionists with their Asian influence, Klimt, Toulouse Lautrec, and the German artist Neo Rauch, to name a few. He is adept at creating commissioned portraits, as well as murals, including a twenty story portrait of Pope Francis that was displayed in Lincoln Center.
