Trail 15th Annual North Branch Art Trail Brochure - (893kb) Sordoni Gallery- Wilkes-Barre, PA "Remembering Helen: The Sordoni at 35" August 15 - October 5, 2008 Opening reception, Friday August 15, 5-8pm, in conjunction with Wilkes-Barre's Third Friday celebration. "Inspired educator, accomplished artist, patron of the arts, and remarkable American philanthropist." This is how the "New York Times" summed up the extraordinary life of Helen Farr Sloan in her obituary of December 30, 2005. Add to this profile: devoted supporter and long-time benefactor of the Sordoni Art Gallery at Wilkes University. This exhibition "Remembering Helen," honors the memory and generosity of this special friend of the Sordoni Art Gallery, nationally respected center for the study of art named for former state senator from Northeastern Pennsylvania, the late Andrew J. Sordoni. "A New Paradigm: Recent Works by Ron Erhlich" October 17 - December 12, 2008 Opening reception, Friday October 17, 5-8pm, in conjunction with Wilkes-Barre's Third Friday celebration. American painter Ron Ehrlich is known for achieving rich surfaces and subtleties of tone melding the techniques of vessel-making with the spontaneity and vitality of action painting. Working on panel, wielding a blowtorch as well as a brush, the brilliant colorist creates an art both vigorous and contemplative. Ehrlich's paintings are regularly exhibited in galleries in major cities across the country including more than 30 solo exhibitions since 1985. In an era of globalization his work is a unique blend of Eastern and Western techniques.
