THERESA HEIDIG ROONEY
I paint fish in unusual circumstances.
My oil and cold wax paintings, copper plate etchings, and collagraph prints help me tell my stories of resilience, self-determination and hope. Fish are my mascots. To me they represent the loneliness and isolation felt when trying to navigate through difficult times, the grace so desired when moving through awkward situations, and the lightheartedness needed when things get heavy or overwhelming… They help me bring awareness to Lyme disease…something I have been navigating through since I was seventeen.
When life gets challenging, my art is a reminder to … just keep swimming.
I live and create art in Ambler, Pennsylvania

Known for positive yard signs messages painted on found wood and for leaving his art out for the taking world-wide since 1994. Most recently, he has begun making art based in abstract sculptures and typewriter works.
Growing up, David was always building something, whether inside or outside. David graduated from Millersville University with a BA in Art. His dyslexia places him into a world that allows him to cope with society by creating his art, and it heals the trauma he experienced from a serious bicycle accident in 2007.

RENEE EGAN
As a painter I aim for an impression that is romantic through dynamic lighting, color and texture. I often photograph landscapes at dusk, or wait for early morning light. I am influenced by my travels and often come home and paint their scenes. I am most inspired when working directly outside with nature. This is where my perception of color and light are the keenest! My attempt is not to capture the reality of the space exactly, but to capture nature’s mysteries and wonderment through light, texture and color.
