She views the two seemingly different media as “complimentary and rooted in the same process of collecting and arranging images.” In her work with wheel-thrown ceramics, she alters them through decoupage and the traditional Japanese art of kintsugi (repairing broken items with gold and lacquer).
Featuring Artist Beverly Bruns
On Display: April & May 2025
Beverly— a Tel Hai resident artist— puts her fine art training to brilliant use creating images that bring to life the richness of colors found on the East Coast. Raised in Chester County, she shares her deep appreciation of the area by capturing the “colors of the grey-blue Atlantic with welcoming beaches and rocky shores, hectic greens of summer forests, yellows, oranges and browns of fall and winter.” In “Kennett Meeting House” those autumn hues reign supreme providing a wonderful contrast to the simplicity of the white meeting house. Warm light bathes the scene, effectively bringing peace and serenity to the viewer’s soul.
