New Hope Arts Member Exhibit

New Hope Arts Opening Reception. Photo by Beatrice Bork.

August 22: Opening reception at New Hope Arts in PA, and it seemed fun was had by all. I think there were about 100 different paintings, sculptures, digital and photographic works of all kinds—something for everyone. I had a nice time talking to fellow artists and collectors alike, and had the nice surprise of winning the award for "Works on Paper" for my painting "Surveyor".  The juror for the exhibit was Rodger LaPelle of Rodger LaPelle Gallery in Philadelphia's Old City.

Now my focus is back on my "Watermarks" a duo exhibit across the river  in Lambertville, NJ opening September 10... which will showcase quite a few new works. Please click here for details.

Onward!

After the disappointment of our "Art Melange" show being canceled, I've refocused and have been busy getting paintings ready for "Watermarks" a show that opens September 10 at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville. This will be the first showing for quite a bit of new work which I'm looking forward to showing.

I've also shipped two paintings to two different international juried shows which I'm proud of, one for the Artists for Conservation exhibit in Vancouver Canada ("Twist")— the other for the Society of Animal Artists in Jamestown NY ("Through the Shoals").

Beyond that I'm participating in the New Hope Arts member show in New Hope PA, starting August 22nd. A small group exhibit at Princeton Brain Spine, in Princeton, NJ, as well as giving a workshop in October. Then getting ready for the Artists' Gallery Winter exhibit! I have to say I love being this busy and involved with all these wonderful activities. I hope to see you at one or more of these venues. I will be posting more images and information on these and other events soon!

News: August "art melange" Exhibit Canceled

With less than two weeks to go, we received notification that our exhibit space has been shut down and the show has been canceled. As you can imagine, all involved are extremely disappointed! We hope that there will be an opportunity to regroup in the future, but there was simply not enough time to find a new location.

Please keep in mind that I do have another exhibit in September which I'm looking forward to, and hope to see you then. Please click here for information.

Art Melange in August

I'm looking forward to my upcoming two weekend long group exhibit, "Art Melange", which was conceived and created by five artists from Bucks and Hunterdon Counties.

Opening Reception:  Friday, August 7: 6 to 9 pm

Saturday, August 8, 11 am to 7 pm /  Sunday, August 9, 11 am to 5 pm 

Saturday, August 15, 11 am to 7 pm /  Sunday, August 16, 11 am to 5 pm

Rolling Green Farm,
202 & Aquetong Rd, New Hope, PA 

Art Melange focuses on how the elements of abstraction and reality in the natural world merge as conceived by five nationally collected artists who live and work in the Bucks and Hunterdon County area. Artists Beatrice Bork, Paul Grecian and Materese Roche all work in highly realistic styles, yet abstract elements play a vital role in their interpretations; taking their work beyond mere physical representation into a realm that engages the viewer on more intimate and compelling levels. Florence Moonan is a purely abstract artist and provides a dynamic counterpoint. Guenter Bork works in metal jewelry design and his work is influenced by the abstract elements of tribal cultures.

Artists' Gallery in June

I'm working on framing a couple of charcoal gesture drawings for June at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville NJ. (June 4 through July 5).

Gesture drawings are very quick drawings to get a sense of the subject's character. My subjects don't pose for long, so these can be valuable resources for me when creating a painting.

May at Artists' Gallery

"Hi There" Military, Blue and Yellow, and Red and Green Macaws

Each month brings new wall spaces to fill with art at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ, and this month I'm showing 10 paintings, three of which are my close up watercolor paintings of Macaws, "Hi There". It's an in your face perspective, that I believe really brings you closer to the character of the subject.

April at Artists' Gallery

I have several paintings that I'm exhibiting at Artists' Gallery in Lambertville, NJ this month. 

"The Attendant" watercolor and gouache painting © Beatrice Bork

Several pieces center around the farm and/or locally. One of the paintings, The Attendant, is a piece that was inspired from two different locations, a trip to Florida where cattle egret are plentiful and the cattle are local hereford steer. This painting was also selected to appear on the cover of: Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association (JAVMA), Vol 237, No. 1, Jul. 1, 2010.
