10th ANNUAL POINTS OF VIEW ART SHOW AND SALE

POINTS OF VIEW CELEBRATES TEN YEARS OF ART IN BUCKS COUNTY The first Points of View Art show was in September 2014. Ten years on, Jeanne Chesterton and Ilene Rubin will host their 10th Points of View Art Show in August. This is a celebration of art that consistently includes a who’s who list of some of the best artists in the region. Getting better attendance, a wonderful variety of art and being a must attend destination every year, Chesterton and Rubin will once again open the doors to some of the finest art beginning with a reception August 23rd from 5-8pm. The show continues Saturday and Sunday, August 24th and 25th, 12-5pm at the Saw Mill at Prallsville Mill, 33 Risler Street in Stockton, NJ, 08559. Showcasing their art will be Jeanne Chesterton and Ilene Rubin together this year with invited artists Cheryl Bomba, Jill LeClair, Mike Mann, and Beth Schoenleber. All art is for sale. Chesterton and Rubin have found that joining talent with location to exhibit and sell art has become successful and rewarding. The art complements each other while all are vastly different. All the invited artists are well known, award-winning, and bring a unique voice and interpretation to the visual art community. Embodying their own perspective toward art, all of the artists are at the top of their artistic journeys, offering an impressive, professionally created body of work. There is something for everyone with little to no overlap of style or range. All have amassed their own following and niche in an otherwise crowded art field in the Bucks County/ River Towns region. It’s a unique blend with a wide price range. Every visitor will have an opportunity to find a gem at the famous Saw Mill. It’s a win-win for any serious collector or casual tourist wanting to go home with a beautiful piece of Bucks County art. They know they will be offered some of the finest art in the area, now celebrating an impressive tenth year right in the heart of Bucks County art country. Jeanne Chesterton creates still life paintings reminiscent of classic realism. She is especially drawn to common, everyday objects which bear the beauty marks of age and wear. The patinas of tarnished metals and discolored enamelware, worn surfaces and damaged edges are of special interest. Staging the tableau is important and often requires many changes in order to achieve visual harmony. The interplay of line, shapes, color, and pattern should suggest a dialogue among the principals, which in turn invites the viewer to participate. Ilene Rubin is a self-taught, award-winning artist who works primarily in oils but also uses pastels, pencils, and watercolor in a painterly representational style. Influences range from Caravaggio to Monet and Corot admits she has learned something revelatory from every artist who has preceded her and every teacher she’s had. She is most moved by the ever-changing landscape and captures each one in such a way that the viewer can step into it and spend moments immersed in a place filled with the environment that feels so familiar yet timeless. Cheryl Bomba became involved with photography as a special education teacher and adjunct lecturer when she bought one of the first digital cameras and began taking portraits of her students with autism. Since then her interests have expanded to include capturing small moments in nature, architecture, and sculpture. Cheryl’s work has been juried into many regional, national, and international exhibitions. Jill Kinsella LeClair is an award-winning Bucks County artist working in Collage and Mixed Media. She snips from the pages of bargain bin art books, textile catalogs, museum bulletins and more, and reimagines and reassembles iconic imagery into vibrant and often whimsical visual narratives. Having some early foundation instruction in art and design, Jill is primarily a self-taught artist. Michael Mann is primarily a plein air painter who usually works near his Stockton, NJ home. He reaches 90% of his locations by bicycle and the other 10% by jet, as he and his wife travel often. His art is done in a variety of media and covers a wide range of subjects.
