March’s Art Exhibit “Painterly Impressions”, brought to you by Swarthmore Friends of the Arts, presents the artwork of local artist Elizabeth Breakell.

An exhibition of original oil paintings by Ms. Breakall will be on display from March 1st through March 29th at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue. The public is invited to the artist’s opening reception on Friday, March 1st, from 5 to 7 pm. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

A lifelong student of painting, Pennsylvania native Elizabeth Breakell works primarily in oils. With a background in scientific and technical illustration, Elizabeth has softened the edges of her subjects and infused them with light. Her Plein-air landscapes capture the essence of a day whether a cornfield, a coastline, or a brightly blooming treeline. Stories unfold through her interior scenes, sunlight filtering through the sheers and blocks of light on the floor. She has studied with regional and national artists such as Christine Lafuente, Donna Cusano, and Frances Galante. “In the past few years, I have enjoyed painting without input from instructors or fellow artists. Rather going with all I have learned throughout many years of painting and working my own painterly style has given me immense pleasure and joy!”
