Here & There - the art of Claudia Fouse Fountaine and Michael Schweigart


Here & There
Claudia Fouse Fountaine and Michael Schweigart

Exhibit: - September 7 to October 3
Opening Reception: Saturday, September 9, 4-7 pm


In this exhibit you’ll see the remarkable works of Claudia Fouse Fountaine and Michael Schweigart. Visit Tuscany, the coast of Maine and other special places as the artists take you on a visual voyage.

Claudia Fouse Fountaine has been painting local subjects for years now; the farms, gardens, and animals she's surrounded by in Bucks County. Lately traveling has given her the chance to depict a wider range of images, whether it's the rolling hills of Tuscany, or just a Manhattan Street scene. Either way, ultimately it's the vibrant light and energy Fountaine brings to her work that draw you in, whatever the subject.

Michael Schweigart can find inspiration just about anywhere he goes and relishes taking the road less traveled whenever possible with a focus on what characterizes a region. Like many he has a deep appreciation for nature. It provides a constant source of ideas to explore. Scenes of coastal Maine and parts of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey make up the bulk of his work. Schweigart’s studio work is often a composite of memory, plein air sketches, and photographic images to paint specific places, naturalistically. Much of his work is inspired by trips to Maine, a favorite place to paint.

And don't forget - along with our featured exhibit, all 16 of our professional artists continuously have their work on exhibit - there is new work here every month. We welcome your visits!
