GUEST ARTISTS
Our guest artists cycle through the gallery on a temporary basis.
JoAnn MOY
My work explores the quiet tension between structure and intuition. Through process-driven making, I am interested in how repetition, restraint, and subtle variation can hold emotional weight and invite sustained looking.
I approach each piece as an accumulation of decisions—some deliberate, others responsive to the moment. Rather than aiming for resolution, I allow ambiguity to remain present, creating space for viewers to bring their own associations and interpretations. The work often reflects an attention to rhythm, balance, and the passage of time, revealing traces of both control and vulnerability.
Materials and methods are central to my practice. I am drawn to processes that require patience and close observation, where small shifts become significant. These methods mirror my broader interest in how meaning is built gradually, through layers of experience rather than singular events.
Ultimately, my work is an invitation to slow down.
ROBIN SESAN
My clay monoprints with layers of color, pattern, and texture tell a story of what is underneath. Mostly abstract, with something familiar to hold on to, my colors and figures invite you in. The longer you look at my art, surprises and hidden gems emerge beneath the layers. My art has an “ancient” feel to it, a wisdom that comes through. Collectors of my work tell me that my art is empowering and encourages them to listen to their own voice and be brave. Others tell me that the colors draw them in and add beauty to their lives when they need a reminder that there is good in the world. I create art to add balance and beauty to my life and to share this with others.
LYNNETTE SHELLEY
Lynnette Shelley is an award-winning Pennsylvania artist specializing in contemporary mixed media animal and nature paintings. Having a great love of wildlife, patterns and archetypes, Shelley fuses these influences into her striking artworks. Her highly detailed and complex compositions are created using a buildup of multiple layers of ink and acrylic and incorporates techniques in both drawing and painting - from crosshatching and mark-making to ink splatter and linear painting. Some of Shelley's work (her “fauxsaic” paintings) also incorporates elements of collage in which she adds hand-colored and cut watercolor paper to the artwork in a process that resembles mosaic tile.
Originally from Delaware, Shelley lives in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and maintains a private art studio in Maple Glen, Montgomery County.

REBECCA SCHEUER
Rebecca is a retired high school counselor and artist living in Lancaster County, PA with her husband, two dogs and Felix the cat. She began her oil painting journey in 2015 after a serious car accident left her with a concussion, hemorrhage behind her right eye, and months spent in a fog with severe double vision. Her visual therapist suggested painting as an exercise in hand/eye coordination. Having never dabbled in anything more than a few craft projects, Rebecca immediately took to painting and devoted herself to her practice. She began taking painting lessons with Bruce Becker at The Warehouse Studios in Reading, PA who helped her hone her style and technique. Despite her challenges, Rebecca has maintained a cheerful, positive outlook on life and her sense of humor is often reflected in her colorful, whimsical paintings. She enjoys painting animals and cocktails, two of her favorite things.
