June Featured Artist: Elissa Goldberg
Elissa Goldberg started drawing with pastels approximately 20 years ago. She is now a member of the Pastel Society of America. Some of her pieces have been inspired by her many travels and wondrous explorations through her native Bucks County, while others come from her vivid imagination. Spending countless hours refining her technique and compositions, she hopes the viewer will share her appreciation of the combination of light, movement and color that makes each piece so alive.
Elissa finds pastels exciting as it is an immediate transfer onto paper. There is no mixing. There are no chemicals. The ideas in her head can be expressed simply and quickly. She has learned over the years how to manipulate the colors in such a way to make them both bold and subtle. Using the sides of the pastel sticks, as well as the edges, creates a multitude of effects. Further, the overlapping of colors allows unlimited potential Elissa’s passion for art has come from her family roots. Her grandmother and her aunt, both accomplished artists in their own right, were her first art teachers. Elissa’s artwork can be found in many galleries throughout Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Her artwork can also be found on her Instagram account. – IG @fineartbyelissa

June Featured Artist: Namita Wlotko
In my life I have had many pastimes. Painting has become my greatest one. I paint in oils because I like the texture and their blending ability. I start out by drawing a rough picture, and then blocking in the shapes with a base coat of thin oil paint. And then I use several layers of different brush strokes to create the completed painting. My goal is to bring beauty and happiness to those that view my art.
My blessings overflow. A percentage of the proceeds go to help the women that have suffered so much – the survivors of human trafficking. – Tinasloft@gmail.com
