Bucks couple exhibit “Side by Side” at Stover Mill Gallery

The Tinicum Civic Association’s Stover Mill Gallery – Bucks County’s longest continuously running art gallery – kicks off its 62nd year of weekend art exhibits April 9, when artists Emily Thompson and George Thompson present works created in their Plumsteadville studio
The exhibition, titled “Side by Side: A Celebration of Work from Our Studio,” will highlight their different painting styles and techniques, ranging from traditional to contemporary.
As they embrace the art community that they have now been a part of for 22 years, they reflect on the work they’ve done and continue to do – “side by side.” The exhibit is open from 1 to 5 p.m. April 9-10, 16-17, 23-24 and 30-May 1, at 852 River Road (Route 32), Erwinna.
Emily attended the High School of Art & Design and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She is a nationally recognized, award-winning artist.
Through her painting she documents the ordinary, the everyday, the disappearing, the nostalgic, the abandoned and the identity of the American landscape. Inspiration comes from urban and industrial scenery, roadside and rural locations and vintage signage and typography.

Her work is part of private collections throughout the United States and has been exhibited at the Woodmere Museum in Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Sketch Club, The Trenton City Museum, The Monmouth Museum and the John F. Peto Museum in New Jersey, as well as galleries in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Oregon and California.
George earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from Pratt Institute in New York and also studied painting and drawing at The Art Students League. He specializes in landscape, portrait and figure painting in a contemporary, traditional style.
His nationally recognized, award-winning work has been exhibited at the The Woodmere Museum in Philadelphia, The Philadelphia Sketch Club and The Trenton City Museum in New Jersey. His paintings are also part of the permanent collection at The Art Students League and hang in collections throughout the United States.
Thompson teaches workshops, classes and private lessons.
