BRUCE STORM HAS ANNOUNCED HIS RETIREMENT FOLLOWING THE CLOSE OF THE 21ST ANNUAL ARTISTS EXHIBITION AND SALE
Friday, October 23, 5:30 PM to 9 PM; Saturday, October 24, 9 AM to 3 PM
First United Methodist Church, 602 S. Market Street, Muncy, PA

BRUCE STORM. Bruce begins composing paintings through his laborious process of writing ideas that will be followed by en plein air sketching and, lastly, hours of painting in layers, typically seven transparent applications in a given spot. His paintings represent his philosophy hidden beneath the humor of those whimsical interpretations of his environment. Using watercolor washes and as many as 20 layers of color he sees beyond the obvious into a world missed by others.

Before retiring from his art education career in 1988, Bruce had taught art at Pennsylvania State University; Springfield Township, Flourtown; Pennsbury School District, Bucks County; Orange County, California, and lastly in the East Lycoming School District, Lycoming County, PA.

His work inspired and encouraged his students to be fine craftsmen in their art, as well as to use their imagination and observation to create a personal, original and aesthetic piece that can travel through time.

He authored two books of his artwork, “Dragon Views and Other Observations” and ‘The Retrospective Art Work of Bruce Storm”, both to be available, in very limited supply, at the show.

Introducing Jeffrey Gilbert
Jeffrey Gilbert is an architect who during many travels with his partner, Oliver Andes, filled numerous sketch books with all that they were experiencing. Back home they had an architectural practice that specialized in residential restoration as well as new house construction. Homes mostly on the eastern seaboard of the United States but as far as Belize, Central America.

Since retirement the focus for Gilbert has been fulfilling his passion for illustrating remarkable buildings and street scenes world wide.

Introducing Melanie Payton

MELANIE PAYTON. Melanie loves getting lost in a piece of work, be it a charcoal, ink, colored pencil or graphite drawing, a watercolor, acrylic, or gouache painting. Plein air has been a fun new venture for her. Drawing is her forte and her first love, but she has embraced the challenge of watercolor. Nature is a favorite theme, especially trees and birds, and she also enjoys studying and featuring old structures such as stone bridges, buildings, and farms.

If you’ve always wanted a Nella Godbey Storm original, this is the year!

Nella began her career in art education in the Bensalem and Pennsbury school systems, and while living in southeastern Pennsylvania, taught adult classes in mural construction for Penn State. Upon moving to Muncy, Nella began her twenty-nine career in the Muncy School System, teaching art education classes for elementary and high school students. During her career, she has reached thousands of students, with many pursuing art-inspired careers of their own. Nella was recognized by the Pennsylvania Coalition for Arts and Education, whose mission is to empower, connect, and amplify creatives and their contributions to Pennsylvania's communities and economy.

Nella Godbey Storm is a seasoned professional artist who focuses on the beauty of Lycoming County and of majestic Bald Eagle Mountain. Working in the impressionist style Nella is dazzled by the dramatic palette of this county. Some hues last only a few moments at sunset or sunrise. Using acrylic on board or canvas, her artwork documents this place and time for future generations knowing that it will change.

Her exhibitions have been housed in institutions such as the Javits Center, New York City, the Fire House Gallery and the Gallery of the Americas, both in Texas, and the La Brae Institute of Switzerland, among others. She has created art pieces for Pope John Paul II and for his Women’s Center in Poland along with other domestic and international clients. Working in metal, redware, textiles and paint, Nella has collaborated in design projects with architects, goldsmiths, redware makers, graphic designers, ceramists, among others.
