March’s Art Exhibit Presents Digital Photography by Betty Wallace

Sea Wrack Scene #2

March’s Art Exhibit “Images Within: Seeing Beyond the Usual”, brought to you by Swarthmore Friends of the Arts, presents digital photography by photographer Betty Wallace.

An exhibition of original digital prints by Ms. Wallace will be on display from March 3rd through April 1st at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue. The public is invited to the artist’s opening reception on Friday, March 3rd, from 5-7pm. Both the exhibit and the reception are free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Despite a fondness for the visual arts, Betty Wallace says that from an early age, she showed a remarkable artistic ineptitude in all media including film. That changed when she and her husband bought their first digital cameras in 2001. “Although I began taking the usual landscape images, I soon started seeing with new depth. I found embedded images emerging as I gazed at the landscape around me. One of the first was of a path through a starlit orchard that emerged at the sandy bottom of an empty swimming pool. I soon saw such images everywhere. My camera replaced my clumsy hands recording the glimpses I see in my mind’s eye but had previously lacked a means of expressing. For me, these prints are a form of visual ‘haiku’— a simple expression of a reflective moment in the ‘now’.”

The exhibit is free and open to the public. Exhibit hours are M-Th 9am – 8pm, Fri 10am – 7pm, Sat 10am – 3pm, Sun 1 – 5pm.

The exhibit is sponsored by Swarthmore Friends of the Arts.

New Art Exhibit Coming in August! SFoA Presents Photography by Jay Ressler.

| Skip Gosnell

“Country Roads: An Uncommon Take”

An exhibition of original photographs by artist Jay Ressler will be on display from August 1st through September 1st, 2019, at Swarthmore Borough Hall, 121 Park Avenue, Swarthmore. The public is invited to the artist’s opening reception on Friday, August 2nd, from 6 pm to 8 pm. Both the exhibit and the opening are free, kid-friendly and open to the public.

The artist is a native of Berks County. He graduated from Albright College with a degree in psychology and afterward relocated to Pittsburgh, working as a coal miner and later as a foundry machinist. He was very active in the arts, participating as a member of the Associated Artists of Pittsburgh and serving as a board member for the Pittsburgh Society of Artists.

Mr. Ressler has exhibited throughout the area including, among others, the GoggleWorks Center for the Arts, Hawk Mountain Sanctuary, the Art Association of Harrisburg and the Lancaster County Art Association.

As a digital photographer, Mr. Ressler creates intriguing composite photographic images. This exhibition offers a set of contemplative rural photographs, evoking a sense of somber reflection into our countryside history. The artist says: “I explore boundaries — the boundaries between consciousness and the unconscious; between reality and imagination; between humanity and nature; and between certainty and skepticism. The result often conjures up a note of mystery or magic.”

Exhibit hours are Monday to Thursday 9 am to 8 pm, Friday 10 am to 7 pm, Saturday 10 am to 3 pm, Sunday 1 to 5 pm.

The exhibit is sponsored by Swarthmore Friends of the Arts. For information about Swarthmore Friends of the Arts, visit www.swarthmorearts.org or contact Exhibit Chair Martha Perkins, martha.perkins@gmail.com.
