In Dreams I Found Utopia

"The Susquehanna River is one of the great rivers of the United States and one of the earliest to be explored. Curated by York County artist, Rob Evans, and partnering with the Lancaster Conservancy, Creative York will feature artwork, spanning 3 centuries, about the Susquehanna River and the surrounding land in Lancaster and York counties.

An opening reception will be held at Creative York on Thursday, April 4 from 6 to 8pm."

The Susquehanna has been a major focus of my artwork, and my outdoor life, for decades. The Lancaster County Conservancy continues to do a remarkable job of preserving wild and forested lands and clean waterways in the river basin and surrounding areas.

Rob Evans will be featuring some works from the astonishing collection Drawing on the Susquehanna, " This exhibit ... examines the influence of the Susquehanna River as an artistic muse and commercial driver for prominent American artists who, over several centuries, explored the river’s shores and utilized its imagery as part of a greater initiative to promote the American landscape. These artists worked in a diverse range of media often experimenting with some of the newest technologies of the day including wood, copper and steel engravings; hand colored lithographs and chromolithographs; etchings; transfer decorated china; and paintings and drawings."
