Kathy Thompson - Job of the Week

Artist Kathy Thompson with "Paris at Sunset"
 We are delighted to welcome one of our newest clients, painter Kathy Thompson. She comes to us from Silver Spring, MD where she  paints all sorts of vivid, European influenced imagery.  Kathy finds the bulk of of her inspiration from French impressionists ranging from Monet to Matisse. In fact it was the paintings of these 19th and 20th century "revolutionaries" who spoke to her so loudly that she made the decision to seriously pursue her painting. A prolific painter, Thompson brought us at least a dozen works last week.  As we work scanning, proofing and printing  this series one could very well feel a connection to the allure of the provençal culture. On this side of the Atlantic you might find Kathy participating with a group at  Washington, DC's International Art and Artists where she is a member. Please join us here with a post in welcoming Kathy to Archival Arts.  Bienvenu Kathy!

Artistic Freedom Discovered in Pennsylvania

Frank Morgan's house with outdoor gallery in Wrightsville, PA. Archival Arts client Frank Morgan has found freedom of expression in the Susquehanna Valley of Pennsylvania. He utilizes an unusual method of presenting his artwork to the public 24-hours-a-day. The exterior of his house is his gallery. In the three years that Morgan has been residing in Wrightsville, PA (located between York and Lancaster) the artist has been painstakingly creating his outdoor gallery by adorning his home with giclée prints of his paintings. “You can see them at night from across the river,” says the artist of his ever growing display.  The large piece hung near the top of the house, called “Madonna and Child,” is illuminated by a brilliant light at night and offers dramatic scenery for the 10,000-15,000 cars that pass by each day. Morgan’s idea to create this informal, friendly space was born of the relaxed zoning guidelines in his neighborhood. “This outdoor space offers a place for all...
