June 7 – July 6, 2018

ARTIST RECEPTION:
Third Thursday, June 21, 2018 from 6–8pm

This exhibition celebrates the artwork of Ellen Grim Harter, granddaughter of Walter Emerson Baum. Living in Perkasie, PA as a child, Ellen started enjoying art classes at school, inspired by her grandfather’s Impressionistic landscapes and village scenes. She received her BFA and her MFA from Yale, where she studied with renowned artist and color theorist, Josef Albers, and focused on her use of color.

Her work is also informed by her love of art history and inspired by her family and her travels with her husband, Michael, to Florence, Rome, France, Monet’s studio and the gardens at Giverny, to name a few. Ellen states, “Through the use of color value, I strive for living quality, weight, density, motion and space balance. I try to show the moment that form appears and is shaped by color.” This exhibition is sponsored by Ellen’s brothers, J. Lawrence and John and their families. Over 30 paintings will be on display in the galleries.

Join us for the Artist Reception on Third Thursday, June 21, 2018 from 6–8pm. Meet Ellen and enjoy her colorful take on the world. Wine, beverages and light fare will be served and all receptions and exhibitions are free and open to the public.
