#SomethingWonderful #ArtistSpotlight: Tom Pope
We will be highlighting some of our exhibiting artists from our upcoming “Something Wonderful” Art Show and Sale (9/11/21) over the next few days. We hope you enjoy learning about these artists, and what has brought art into their lives, as well as the media and subject matter on which they’ve chosen to focus.
“My interest in photography did not begin with books or mentors, but with a desire to experience the world through a camera. It evolved from an intense devotion to mountains and wilderness that eventually shaped all the parts of my life and brought them together. As primarily a landscape photographer, the people who have had the greatest influence on me are Ansel Adams, Galen Rowell and Tom Bol”

#SomethingWonderful #ArtistSpotlight: Joan Amato
We will be highlighting some of our exhibiting artists from our upcoming “Something Wonderful” Art Show and Sale (9/11/21) over the next few days. We hope you enjoy learning about these artists, and what has brought art into their lives, as well as the media and subject matter on which they’ve chosen to focus.
Joan Amato works mainly in acrylics and has been painting for 50 years, more proficiently since retirement. She is self-taught and enjoys color and experimenting with it. She has taught seniors most recently at Warren County Senior Center (741), and finds that most people are unaware of the talents they possess.
