The Secret World of Celia Reisman

September 16 - December 3, 2000

Bucks County's historic landscape painters often used the area's picturesque pastures, forests, and colonial villages as subject matter. Celia Reisman continues the landscape tradition with a more contemporary theme: the suburbs. She fashions colorful and evocative interpretations of the everyday vistas of suburbia.
