More than 150 small artworks in many different media are arrayed around the historic gallery space of the Philadelphia Sketch Club on the Avenue of the Artists, Camac Street. Miniatures represents the work of more than 60 area artists from Betsy Alexander of Ravenswing Studio, Dumpster Diver extraordinaire Alden Cole and Da Vinci Art Alliance board member Lilliana Didovic to esteemed club members such as Karen McDonnell & Tony Cortosi, Dr. Doris Peltzman and first prize winner Michael Kuncevich, one of the club’s elders. Second prize was awarded to Susan J. Donmoyer for an extraordinary drawing. Even though DoN was a co-chair of the show, he has to say – the show is extraordinary with really exciting work by great Philly artists. Thanks to everyone who helped pull it off – if you’ve ever organized a show, you know what a time suck it is. A special thank you to Laura Guzzo, 3nd prize winner, for acting as docent & sales associate.

Betsy Alexander‘s Alaska paintings capture the expansiveness of the great wilderness in tiny squares. Bold color choice, graphic decisions and simplicity transport the viewer to a foreign landscape at once welcoming and strange. Betsy is also an original Dumpster Diver and was recently featured on the Today show with her famous piano playing cat, Nora.
