We meet at the James Lorah Auditorium on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30pm. The meetings are free and open to all.

Our speaker for the month of October is Jim Lukens who will be talking about his current work.

Jim is a resident of Richland Township, Upper Bucks County, PA where he maintains a home and studio. As an impressionist landscape oil painter, Jim is drawn to the rich landscapes of his Bucks County childhood. “I paint the four seasons of life, I’m out there when the sun comes up and I paint from first morning light to the setting sun.” Jim is the owner and artist of the Main Street Gallery, Quakertown, PA where patrons can view his selected works and those of his students, whose classes included Studio and Plein Air sessions.

Schooled at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and Barnstone Studios, Jim’s work is viewed and collected as a quintessential addition to the area’s vibrant art scene.

We meet at the James Lorah Auditorium on the first Thursday of the month at 7:30pm. The meetings are free and open to all.

Our speaker for the month of November is Deb Hoeffner.

Deb is a professional artist and illustrator. Her work has been widely published in books, magazines and more, worldwide. Working in oil, pencil, and her own unique combination of watercolor and pastel, she describes her style of “soft realism” as a layering of thought, paint and possibilities. Her portraits, whether of people or animals, capture the spirit that lives behind the eyes of her subjects.

Her latest book “Silent Swoop: An Owl, an Egg, and a Warm Pocket” is the true story of a very special great horned owl who lived at the World Bird Sanctuary after being rescued by its founder.

Moving to Doylestown from Northern New Jersey, her paintings and drawings have been exhibited in many of the galleries and art exhibitions of this rich artistic area. She currently is exhibiting at The Upstairs Gallery in Peddlers Village. More of her work can be seen on her website at debhoeffner.com.
