Meet The Artists
Fran Wieckowski
"I started painting at the age of 7, determined to discover my own creative process, no tricks, formulas or training. In my 20's I left my hometown, Langhorne, PA to study acting in New York City at Circle In The Square and HB STUDIOS with Herbert Berghof and Uta Hagen. During this time I also became a very devoted and prolific songwriter and since have recorded 3 CDs of original songs. As a musician I've performed at UCLA, clubs and art galleries in NYC and Philadelphia, and Lehigh Valley venues including Musikfest."

Ryan
Phillips
Ryan Phillips is a painter currently residing in Ephrata, PA. Everyday life -street scenes and performers, passers-by and landscapes - are cornerstone subjects in his work, which is primarily done in oil and acrylic paints. Images taken from international and road trips throughout the US, provide Phillips with a wealth of the subject matter.
Ryan has exhibited at Mulberry Galleries and Tellus 360 in Lancaster and at the Collusion Brewery in Lititz. Some of his paintings hang in restaurants and small businesses in the mid-Atlantic region.

Ginny McCoySwinehart
"My name is Ginny McCoySwinehart and I am an Art Instructor at The Phelps School in Malvern, PA. I graduated from Muhlenberg College as a studio art, art history and English major in '23. My love of animals is the biggest passion I like to express through my artwork. I imagine what that creature's personality would be like and encapsulate that through things like posing them in humorous settings and focusing on their facial expressions to create a story on the canvas. I take inspiration from fantasy and fairytales to create bright, happy, child-like imagined places and beings that people can be pulled into. I love painting because it gives me the ability to put my own little versions of another world onto a canvas and share that vision with others."

Tracey Richvalsky
"I am a hobbyist who has loved photography since I was a little girl (my first camera was a Kodak Instamatic). I also love music, old buildings, good food, and traveling with my husband and our two children. Exploring a new place is just as exciting as experiencing each different sunset close to our home in southeastern PA. I hope you enjoy my galleries and seeing life as I see it, through my lens."
