New Representation, Three Venues
I have some good news to start off this new year: I now have THREE new venues representing my work: Borrelli's Chestnut Hill Gallery in Philadelphia, Touchstone Gallery in Yardley, PA, and Normandy Farms Hotel and Conference Center in Blue Bell, PA. Details below:

Borrelli's Chestnut Hill Gallery & Frame Shoppe
I am pleased to announce that my artwork is now being represented by the prestigious Borrelli's Chestnut Hill Gallery in Philadelphia. I currently have six artworks in the gallery, which will also be a part of new artist group show at the gallery in February. Continue reading below for details.

Founded in 2005, Borrelli's Gallery features both traditional and contemporary art and gallery partnerships include such notable artists as HBO-featured artist Chuck Connelly; Nationally-acclaimed American realist, Neal Hughes; PAFA legend, Phil Cohn; Chestnut Hill favorites, Paul Rickert and John Lear; Local urban folk artist, Robert Arnosky; vibrant landscape painters Sandra Hoffman and Gail Bessette; expressive watercolorist Susannah Hart Thomer, and primal surrealist Alfred Ortega and latin folk artist, Marta Sanchez.

The gallery has several rooms, including the main gallery which features recent work by up to four artists with a new exhibit featured every two months.

Borrelli’s Chestnut Hill Gallery is owned and operated by Joseph Borrelli and Suzanne Sheeder.

The gallery is located in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia at One East Gravers Lane right off of Germantown Avenue and amidst Gallery Row. This quaint, tree-lined shopping district features 120 unique shops, restaurants, galleries and other cultural institutions and is an easy trip from either downtown Philadelphia or its suburbs.

Touchstone Gallery
I recently met with Nancy Allen, the owner of Touchstone Gallery in Yardley, PA, (and wonderful artist in her own right) and was very impressed with this one-year-old contemporary venue. The space is filled with colorful modern art from a variety of artists in different mediums. Located in Bucks County, PA, the gallery currently has three of my paintings with them, with some more possibly to be featured there at a later date.

I also recently signed a new contract with Normandy Farm Hotel and Conference Center in Blue Bell where I will feature between 6-8 artworks there on a rotating basis for the next year.

There will also be some special events and happy hour socials that will be scheduled where you can meet the artists at Normandy.

Normandy Farm is a magnificent hotel and conference center located in the western Philadelphia suburbs near King of Prussia, Lansdale, Plymouth Meeting, Conshohocken and Valley Forge, PA. Normandy Farm boasts three floors and 113 exquisitely appointed King and Double Queen hotel rooms. The property also features an East & West Gatehouse, Carriage House and original Manor House, each of which has been renovated to include a total of 28 spacious guest suites.
