Amy is a local photographer from Perkasie who focuses mainly in wedding photography, but her true passion is landscape and mixed media photography. While obtaining her BFA from Tyler School of Art in photography, she had an opportunity to study abroad in London and Scotland. While there she captured images of Stonehenge, castles and the English countryside. Most of these photographs have never been shown to the public.

Fine Art Exhibition: The Invitation
October 21 to November 13
Opening Reception: October 21, 5pm-9pm
Join the Greenshire artist community for a most exciting exhibition featuring Solebury sculptor, Ashby Saunders, exhibiting his ‘Images in Bronze.’ ‘Rage’ is the title of Saunders’just-completed controversial bronze sculpture which will also be exhibited. “As we all are observers of the American scene,” comments Ashby Saunders, “I thought you might appreciate seeing how an artist reacts to the economic and political turmoil in recent months. My response is the creation of this sculpture which I call “Rage!” My intention was that it should look as gruesome, horrific and ugly as possible – to match the tone of what goes on in Washington. In a very real sense it’s as though I reached down inside myself and pulled out something I could not express in any other way…but I had to do it. The surprising thing to me is that the sculpture just seemed to take shape of its own accord.”
Also exhibiting are Alix von Auenmueller, Ron Bevilacqua, Taryn Day, David Ellsworth, Wendy Ellsworth, Edgar Hall, Nancy Hill, Mark Ludak, Robert Noonan, Colleen O'Brien, R. Woolstan Rapp and Amy Schuler, showing their creative works: wood sculpture, fine wood turning, bead art, silk painting, oil, mixed media, photography, and pottery.

Lesta Bertoia, who works with wood and stone as well as acrylics, has participated in local art events for the past twelve years, including: the Allentown Art Museum, the Banana Factory in Bethlehem, the Baum school of Allentown, the Many Hands Art Auctions and Lorax Fund-Raisers of Pennsburg, and the Bear Fever Project of Boyertown. Although she received no formal training, as an adolescent, she worked with her father, the internationally renowned sculptor, Harry Bertoia, which was introduction enough to inspire her to explore her own creativity. "I am drawn toward portraying the relationships of humans, cultures, nature, and spirit. It is with love for life's many dimensions that I offer my art into the homes of those who resonate with my visions in these exceptional times."

The inspiration for this mixed-media exhibition comes from the understanding that humanity and our earth community share unique commonalities, with peace and love often being the thread that weaves together this genuine connection.

The Waldorf curriculum provides a developmentally based, multi-dimensional, integrated learning environment. In every subject, students are engaged through visual arts, music, movement and hands-on learning as well as story, poetry and the written word. In this way learning becomes alive, vibrant and relevant to the child.
