"Forever" by Yvonne Parker

MILFORD  - The Pike County Historical Society will host a temporary art exhibit beginning Friday December 4th and running through the end of January.

The recent success of Yvonne Parker’s art exhibit titled “Then and Now: Expressions of Beauty”, was the catalyst in the decision to maintain the Music Room of the Museum as a space for local artists to display their wares.

The latest showing is brought to us by John Kolbek, a young artist from Bushkill, Pa, who works in oils to depict “surrealisms”.  John was one of 11 people, world wide, selected as “Illustrator of the Year” as per the L. Ron Hubbard Writers and Illustrators of the future showcase.

He has shown his work in many New York galleries, and was featured, locally, at the APA Gallery.  Mr. Kolbek is a graduate of North Hampton and Kutztown Colleges, and has had much recent success with the sale of a poster he created for the “Beyond the Wall” company, titled: “Forever 27”.  John also does intricate ink work, which he refers to simply as “doodleisms”.  He is slated to exhibit his work in many upcoming shows, including debuts at The White Rabbit Gallery in New York and Art and Soul in Allentown.

The Columns will host an opening and a complimentary “meet the artist” reception on Friday December 4th to celebrate the opening of the exhibit titled “Night Flight on Canvas” from 6-8 pm.
