they learned at PAFA and took with them throughout their careers. Barbara Sosson invited two very talented colleagues to share the gallery for the entire month of September.

are best appreciated in person because of their large scale. Carolyn Louise Newhouse is a New York artist who creates work using her snapshots as armatures on which she builds her images. The result is a unique and painterly approach to her very personal work. Elizabeth Wilson is a talented painter whose work has won great acclaim over her long career. Her personal mystical palette creates a mood that surrounds the viewer even when she works on an intimate scale. A long time arts educator, she has held teaching positions at Philadelphia University, Temple University, University of the Arts and Community College of Philadelphia. This September she will be teaching a painting workshop at the Art Students League of New York. The opening reception for “3” An Exhibition by 3 PAFA Alum will be held on Wednesday, See “3” An Exhibition by 3 PAFA Alum on page 3
