Tricia Lowrey Lippert

Living in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania now, Tricia is just a short distance from the Delaware Water Gap, an amazing geological phenomenon.

Tricia paints both in my studio and en plein air. She has participated in many regional shows in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, winning several awards and honorable mentions. A member of the Antoine Dutot Museum in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania, she helps run an annual Plein Air Paint Out fundraiser. The Florence Griswold Museum in Old Lyme, Connecticut has her painted palette in its permanent collection. Her paintings are included in private collections in the USA and England.

Kat Collins

Kat Collins is an acclaimed abstract artist based in Easton, Pennsylvania, known for her vibrant and emotionally charged mixed media paintings. Graduating with a BFA from Mount Vernon Nazarene University in 2000, she has since cultivated a distinctive style characterized by spontaneous mark-making, layered textures, and a rich palette of colors.

​Specializing in mixed media, Kat utilizes a diverse array of materials including ink, collage, graphite, oil pastel, acrylic paint, and charcoal on various surfaces such as canvas, paper, and wood panels. This eclectic approach allows her to explore the depths of human emotion and experience, drawing inspiration primarily from life, music, and poetry.

​Her work has garnered recognition through exhibitions at esteemed venues such as the Ronald K. De Long Gallery and David E. Rodale and Rodale Family Galleries in Pennsylvania, as well as  Eclipse, Gallery 840, The Boyer Gallery, Midnight Gallery, and Connexions Gallery. She has also exhibited at galleries in New Jersey and North Carolina.

 Adam Crist

Adam Crist began receiving public recognition for his art starting at a young age and has received formal training in oil painting, drawing and ceramics as well as mentorship from acclaimed Philadelphia area artists, and was selected for a summer-long apprenticeship at the Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia where he trained in textile design and silk-screen printing. 

After completing two years of college toward a fine art degree, Adam gave up art almost completely and began what has become a more than 20-year career in the corporate environment. 

Since 2022, Adam has returned to a regular practice of creative and artistic expression primarily utilizing the alternative photographic process of cyanotype printing. His art is inspired by a deep love of nature and often includes sacred geometrical shapes and patterns which make up the design of all living things. His work often combines cyanotype printing techniques with inks, oil pastels, and watercolors on paper, wood and fabric.
