PORT JERVIS — As fall explodes in colors, the River Valley Artists Guild will host an Autumn array of paintings, pastels and weavings by local artists from Sept. 17 to Nov. 30 for the public's visual delight. Four separate venues will be ready with a display from the 18th century to a set of new professional artists.
The four venues include Bon Secours Cafeteria, Port Jervis City Hall, Deerpark Town Hall and the Neversink Grange.
The Grange will show Peter Koenig's museum copies of 18th and 19th century signs of trade shops and inns. Advertised is his ability to paint in detail from the original time period. He has been selected for the Directory of Traditional American Crafts by Early American Life Magazine.
Port Jervis City Hall and the Bon Secours will encompass a group showing of the area's most prolific artists of more than fifty who show throughout the region extensively. These include abstract styles in drawings, graphics, mixed media, weaving and paintings in oil as well as acrylic, pastel, watercolor and airbrush. Some of the more well known featured artists are Joan Kehlenbeck, Peter Koemig, Barbara Leimer, Susan Miller, Joe Petrosi and Judith Weiss as well as Dennis Fanton, Katia Gushue and Jeannine Masiello.
Barbara Leimer excels in weavings, Jeannine Masiello paints the relationship between the past and the present and Joseph Petrosi is well known for pen and ink drawings and has been named the Best Ink and Pencil Artist in the Hudson Valley by the Times Herald.
