Bucks County artists Shirley Mersky and Denise Callanan-Kline are pleased to open the 2021 season at Stover Mill Gallery with “In Search of Luminance.”
Closed for the entire 2020 season, The mill will reopen with this show, following safe COVID-19 practices so people can view the art in person. The show will be on view every Saturday and Sunday in April at 852 River Road (Route 32), Erwinna.
As the title “In Search of Luminance” suggests, both artists focus on light and the poetry it creates in their work. Because of this, many of their landscape paintings are begun on location where the effects of light can be observed first hand. Both artists also work in their studios where the studies can be refined or expanded.
Mersky has a large north window in her studio so that even still life paintings can be done with natural light. Trained in painting at Dickinson College and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, she will show landscape and still life in oil.
Callanan-Kline studied art at Temple University and Acadia University and taught in the public schools and at Holy Family University. She will exhibit landscape in both oil and gouache.
Both artists live and work in Bucks County, and have exhibited in many juried shows, including the Philadelphia Sketch Club and the Phillips’ Mill Art Exhibition.
