Mary Lou Steinberg

Gel Prints

Gel printing is done on various sized commercial plates, using acrylic paint and a slo-dry medium to keep the paint workable.

The image is painted directly on the plate and paper is placed over it and transferred with a hand barren tool. Images can be further enhanced with pen or oil pastel.

The artists’ goal is to obtain a clear clean image.

Working in various sizes makes possible a variety of diverse printed images.

Samples of her works will be for sale.

David N. Corrado

David N. Corrado is a fine artist and illustrator from northeast Pennsylvania. At a young age, his maternal grandfather Ned introduced him to the art of drawing and painting. After graduating from Penn State University he went on to complete altar paintings for churches, a mural for R/C Theaters in Wilkes-Barre, and murals for both the Freeland American Legion and Hazleton’s IMG_0037 copy-300 City Hall. “The Legend of Alastar” is his first work of fiction which he wrote and illustrated in 180 pages. In recent years David has appeared twice as a guest on PA Live for WBRE; once for displaying an oil painting done on wood that depicts a younger Mona Lisa, which took one year to complete. David is currently looking for a literary agent that can represent his 90 page Christmas story he wrote and illustrated to a book publisher. David now resides in Columbia, South Carolina and is among the art community there.

Frank Romeo
Artist in Residence: Painting

 

As one of the longest living veterans diagnosed with 100% post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) related disabilities the cause and effect of this socially-crippling disease has consumed my life and fueled my work.

My name is Frank Romeo and the focus of my life’s work has been to educate returning veterans as well as young people in general about PTSD and its debilitating impact on individuals as well as society as a whole. My program “The Art of War” has traveled around the country in a spirit of truth, healing, and understanding post trauma. In the last thirty years I have traveled many miles and reached tens of thousands of people touched by this phenomenon. With the average suicide rate among veterans suffering from PTSD at twenty-two deaths per day, we must build awareness and subsequent action among the public and policymakers.

For fifty years PTSD has been the default characteristic of my life and so I began to find outlets for its release. The hands on discovery of art emerged as I began to create what would later be classified as art therapy. Realizing the importance of the relationship between art and post trauma I developed a system of education for others to follow. In the early nineties THE ART OF WAR was born as a learning tool bridging the gap between pre and post trauma. My approach was controversial and unique as I attempted to educate young people about PTSD before the onslaught of the traumatic event. I attempted to detox potential soldiers before they became traumatized by informing them of the endless possibilities of sudden impact trauma. My art collection not only depicts American history but it is also the emotional history of our country. It is the history of PTSD and art therapy as we know it today.
