Bob Minnick and Carol Summers-Nash are the featured artists in the Art Gallery, Lower Level, for the month of May.

Besides working in Circulation at CHPL, Bob is an accomplished painter. He has had many showings of his amazing work throughout NJ and Philadelphia. Bob received his certificate of painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and his B.F.A. from the University of Pennsylvania. Bob said that, "painting is my passion. I love form, color, and texture. I try to express my feelings about my subjects. I am an expressionistic painter." Bob has been influenced from Van Gogh to the German Expressionists. He likes to work abstractly and from his imagination. 

Carol is a traditional, representational artists who works in oils and watercolors. She has been a local portrait painter and ceramics artist for 16 years. Carol developed an interest in painting and drawing from her father, also an artist. Carol graduated from the Interlochen Arts Academy, received a scholarship to Parsons School of Design and received her B.F.A. from NYU. Carol believes that art is more than decoration - it is communication. "I believe that in every inspired piece there is a spark of the divine that can be experienced by the viewer. The piece is never complete until it has been seen by others."
