Meet the Artists!

Theresa Spitler

Theresa Crowley Spitler works in pastel to create her paintings and explore color form and texture. Her subject matter includes landscapes, seascapes, and still life. Her still life paintings depict everyday objects and she often receives requests from her patrons to include their personal mementos in a still life arrangement that will become an original painting. She enjoys painting landscapes that convey mood and atmosphere, which is evident in her creation of skies and clouds.

“I love working with pastels because they are pure pigment and have a brilliant intensity. I apply many layers to give my paintings a deep rich appearance. Pastels can be handled boldly or with a subtle touch. I strive to create something beautiful or thought-provoking that connects with the viewer”

Wynn Yarrow

Wynn Yarrow, a teaching artist for The Rockwell Museum, Corning, NY, is known for richly detailed landscapes in painting and collage. In her own words, “Through the language of evocative color, I speak of many places, invoking the spirit of wonder. Sketches, memory, and imagination join to create quiet, intricate worlds; worlds that beckon you to slow your pace and enter the mystery.”

Forest Moth & Night Magic are mixed media: Golden Meadow, The Dreaming, I Wish I May & Amongst Trees are acrylic gouache.
Recently Wynn has turned her eye for color and love of pattern to the world of textiles. Her great grandparents came from Sweden to New England as weavers. This family history and a love of the Arts and Crafts movement led her to design textiles for the Jacquard loom. Nature themes have always been foremost in her art.

Coverlets designed by Wynn Yarrow are woven on a Jacquard loom in the U.S.A. They are a cozy 50” x 60” size (throw blanket) perfect for chilly evenings. The six colors of cotton combine to create a wider variety of muted colors. The design can be seen on the reverse, with different colors. Machine wash on gentle and dry on low.

Mark Robbins

Mark Robbins would sneak into his father’s woodworking shop where he turned baseball bats for neighborhood ball games. Later in a high school class, Mark turned his first bowl and was fascinated by the process. Since 1996 Mark has returned to woodturning and displays his art at various shows and galleries.

As a master wood artisan, Mark strives “to find what nature has hidden in the wood.” His focus is to create organic “life” forms with seamless, flowing lines, contrasted with texture and carved elements. Each piece has its own character and uniqueness.

Bruce Storm

Bruce Storm continues to take inspiration from the Muncy area and this year’s collection is no different. We are excited to share his comments highlighting this year’s art.

“Muncy has an inordinate number of its’ original outbuildings, barns, and sheds remaining today. In addition, they are located along a gridwork of alleyways and cross streets situated at the back end of many of these properties. And most have stop signs nearby! This series of eight (8) paintings is titled: from the series – A Stop in Muncy 2021.”

When creating his works, Bruce begins composing paintings through his laborious process of writing ideas that will be followed by en plein air sketching and, lastly, hours of painting in layers, typically seven transparent applications in a given spot. His paintings represent his philosophy hidden beneath the humor of those whimsical interpretations of his environment.

Nella Storm

Nella Godbey Storm is a seasoned professional artist who focuses on the beauty of Lycoming County and of majestic Bald Eagle Mountain. Working in the impressionist style Nella is dazzled by the dramatic palette of this county. Some hues last only a few moments at sunset or sunrise. Using acrylic on board or canvas, her artwork documents this place and time for future generations knowing that it will change. In addition to her fascination with Bald Eagle Mountain, Nella also takes inspiration from her favorite vacation destiny, Campobello Island, within the Bay of Fundy, New Brunswick, Canada.

Her exhibitions have been housed in institutions such as the Javits Center, New York City, the Fire House Gallery, and the Gallery of the Americas, both in Texas, and the La Brae Institute of Switzerland, among others. She has created art pieces for Pope John Paul II and for his Women’s Center in Poland along with other domestic and international clients. Working in metal, redware, textiles, and paint, Nella has collaborated in design projects with architects, goldsmiths, redware makers, graphic designers, ceramists, among others.

As a historic color consultant, she specializes in the complex effects of color, combining psychology, trends, and color design theories. Using both the art and science of color, she has provided advice on choosing the right color palettes for specific projects and to achieve the objectives presented by private homeowners, historical societies and museums, churches, law, and medical offices, shops, and restaurants. Her consulting services include over 600 architectural projects, both for interiors and exteriors, and include Tiffany & Company in New York City, and residential properties in France, Denmark, the Caribbean, Canada, and across the United States.
