Entry Guidelines

The Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery will feature the photorealistic watercolor paintings of Judith Bogert throughout the month of May. Ms. Bogert began painting in 1999, studying watercolor under local artist and teacher Ruth Kempner. Drawn to "The way in which the paints develop a life of their own, exploding and recombining on the page," her mastery over this difficult medium is clearly evident in A Second Bloom and Meals Ready to Eat. She is a regular exhibitor in the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and in numerous local galleries.

Cazia Bradley is a local artist with a whimsical imagination that is clearly evident in her work. Her black and white lithographs of fun and freaky creatures--appropriately titled "April Foolies"--are featured in the newly named Betsy Rodgers Allen Gallery. Drawing inspiration from prehistoric cave paintings, Vincent Van Gogh, and modern artists like Paul Klee and Jean Debuffet, Bradley's prints challenge us to a game of sorts: what do you see? Be sure to bring the kids and stop by the children's department too where there are Xerox copies of the prints for coloring.
