The 8th annual Points of View Art Show and Sale, featuring six local artists, will be presented during the weekend of Sept. 9 to 11.
This year, the show will be located at New Hope Arts Center at 2 Stockton Ave., New Hope. The show opens with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, Sept. 9, and continues from noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 10 and Sunday, Sept. 11.
Showcasing their art will be Bob Barish, Jeanne Chesterton, Florence Moonan, Susan Roseman, Ilene Rubin and Dora Siemel. All art is for sale.
Chesterton and Rubin have been creating the Points of View Art Show in the Bucks County area since 2014 and are pleased to be having this year’s show in the heart of New Hope.
A few of the aspects that they like so much about the Point of View Art Show are that the art of Chesterton and Rubin, along with Barish, Moonan, Siemel and Roseman complement each other while individually, are vastly different.
All are well-known, award-winning artists who bring a unique voice and interpretation to the visual world around them. At the same time, each offers an impressive body of work, each professionally created and available for one weekend only.
There is little to no overlap of style or range. Each has amassed his or her own following and niche in an otherwise crowded art field in the Bucks County region. It’s a unique blend with a wide price range.
Rubin is a self-taught artist who calls Doylestown home. She received the Ty Hodanish award for Oil Painting in the Artsbridge 2021 Member Show and in the 34th Annual Bucks Fever Juried Art Exhibition “Celebrating Bucks County Artists.” She is a published author of two novels.
Chesterton is an award-winning Bucks County artist known for her realistic still life paintings. Choice of subject may range from the formal and delicate to the ordinary and worn. She has exhibited her work in over 250 shows, and her paintings can be found in the permanent collection of the Trenton City Museum as well as many private collections throughout the United States.
Barish graduated from The University of The Arts, Philadelphia, and had a corporate career as Art and Design Director in the Pharmaceutical Industry.Now a full-time oil painter specializing in plein air scenes of the Delaware Valley, he is a board member of Artsbridge in Stockton, N.J.
A Stockton, N.J., artist with a BFA from The College of New Jersey, Moonan has a career that includes painting, mixed media and sculpture. She is noted for her tactile abstract Venetian plaster paintings. The driving force behind her work is a narrative drawn from her personal history, the natural world, travel experiences, and above all, music.
A Bucks County artist, Roseman’s medium of choice is the lino cut for her art featuring dogs. “...I am impelled by the subject to employ a host of technical choices to portray what each individual brings to the sitting,” she said. “Sometimes surprises sometimes poetry, all to the end of portraiture, an art piece that is decisive and familiar a reward in itself to everyone who has a heart to share with one of these captivating spirits.”
Siemel, who was born in Matto Grosso, Brazil, is a sculptor, a poet, a computer consultant, a martial artist and yoga instructor. Her studio is in Green Lane. Her sculpture medium is clay. Her work has been accepted at various juried shows and have won numerous local prizes, including assorted “Best of Show” awards.
