East and West
Richard Harrington and Debbie Pisacreta
Exhibit: - October 5 to November 5
Opening Reception: Saturday, October 7, 4-7 pm
"East and West" features work by Richard Harrington and Debbie Pisacreta
inspired by trips to the Eastern and Western parts of the US.
An exhibition focusing on works based on the travels in opposite
directions was first proposed by Harrington. "I took a Sabbatical from
my position as Professor of Illustration at Moore College of Art and
Design in the Fall of 2021. As part of my sabbatical project, I traveled
across the US, taking the Lincoln Highway from Philadelphia to
Sacramento, California, and returning East following old Route 66." said
Harrington. 'I have always admired the work Debbie created on her trips
to paint in Maine and New England, and I thought showing our work from
the East and the West together would make a nice exhibition.'
Debbie's passion is plein air painting. "I love being outside observing
light, colors, and movement so I choose to paint on site. Being in the
environment inspires me to create unique compositions that reflect what I
consider special about the location. I use my skills as an artist to
translate the scene to the canvas, capturing my emotional response." Her
work has been included in prestigious juried art shows such as the
Ellarslie Open and Phillips Mill. In addition to paintings from Maine,
her favorite place to paint, paintings of local scenes and Umbria,
Italy, will also be included.
