Warren County artists and their mediums in which they work include Josh Ellis with digital landscape photography, Ann-Marie Gariepy with watercolor, Christopher Goff with photography, Jesse Wolfgang with pencil sketch, and Sue Nielsen with stained glass, mosaics, mixed media and cement sculptures.

Wolfgang shared that, “It was great timing (to show his work) and it turns out to be an even better cause, nature, art and community (emphasis on unity).”

The Nature Art Showcase and Sale is a joint collaboration of Penn Soil RC&D Council (located at the Warren County Conservation District building) and the Council on Greenways and Trails. The Penn Soil RC & D serves 8 counties in the Northwest corner of PA, including Clarion, Crawford, Erie, Forest, Lawrence, Mercer, Venango and Warren.

The show will be filled with vibrant artwork, featuring scenes and depictions of local places that are frequented. Among the highlights is “Catching Rainbows”, a multi-media piece by Barb Makohus and “Pollinator’s Pause” photography by Kathi Clark, and many other unique works by talented regional artists.

Multi-media artist Barb Mahokus will showcase “Catching Rainbows.”

This year introduces a special category, “On the Wing,” celebrating the diversity and wonder of our feathered friends. Come vote for the People’s Choice Award winner.

The event is open to the public and it is encouraged where there is the opportunity to view and purchase original art, including photography, paintings, woodworking, ceramics, and more.

All made possible by the collaborative efforts of CGT and Penn Soil RC&D, two regional nonprofits dedicated to enhancing and conserving natural resources throughout northwest Pennsylvania, their work continues to drive community improvement, including outdoor appreciation. Event sponsors are recognized at the event and on the CGT website and Facebook page at http://www.councilongreenwaystrails.org.
