Night's Watch
by Rinal Parikh

Upstairs Dining Room

Rinal Parikh's work, influenced by life in India, has appeared in group exhibitions, on magazine covers and in many juried exhibits. Rinal serves as board member at the Wallingford Community Arts Center, Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show and Associate at the Montgomery County Guild of Professional Artists. 
 
Born and brought up in India, my work has been highly influenced by Indian folk art. Each state has its own folk-art style with its own vocabulary, color palette, mediums and motifs. The common thread in all of these different Indian folk arts was, most of the artists were women and their subjects were expressions of civilization, their environment, their daily routine, and their beliefs. My artwork is adaptation of different Indian folk art, mainly the Madhubani, Kalamkari and Warli. I have adapted the essence of each style and woven them into my painting to create my own signature style.

Wrapped Wire Jewelry
by Jermel Johnson

When not performing with the Pennsylvania Ballet where he is principal dancer, Jermel Johnson's second passion is to create wire jewelry pieces that suggest movement. His exquisite creations make lovely small jewelry gifts while his more intricate pieces are meant to be passed down.

Chickaree Union Church at Night
by Jennifer Baker

Downstairs Salon
 

From Jennifer Baker’s 30-year project exploring change in Philadelphia’s Northern Liberties neighborhood, to her images of a smoldering mine fire in Centralia, PA and recent lush, mysterious landscapes of western Pennsylvania, she has focused on the interaction of people and surroundings, both trapped by change. Her paintings and monoprints present a sense of place and the history and memory of those who live there.
