The River Valley Artists Guild was started by the late Bernie Kilbourn, alongwith Matilda Grech, Paul Horsman, Elaine Tedesco, and Elizabeth Hayes all of Port Jervis. The present president and show chairwoman is Joan Kehlenbeck. Although, most of its sixty members come from communities bordering the Delaware River, many come from Middletown, Poughkeepsie, and Monroe as well as Branchville, NJ and Milford, PA.
The Guild show, with 60 works in many media, will be on display in Orange Hall Gallery, while simultaneously the two-woman show- Applied Vision ~ artworks by Joan Kehlenbeck and Rosalind Hodgkins - will be exhibited in Orange Hall Gallery Loft. Applied Vision demonstrates what the artists see and how they, in turn, interpret and create through their respective media: Joan Kehlenbeck using pastels and oils, and Rosalind Hodgkins with watercolors. They both live in Cuddebackville. This show features many local scenes.
Joan has an associate in arts degree from Orange County Community College. Rosalind holds a BFA from Pratt Institute. She has done further study at the Art Students League, the New School, the University of California, and Hull College of Art, England.
