“TWIST AND SHOUT”: This watercolor of a black and white warbler by Beatrice Bork exemplifies her award-winning bird art. Bork and fellow nature artist Michael Schweigart will be displaying their work at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville as part of the “Wild in Detail” exhibit from April 7 through May 1.

Beatrice Bork and Michael Schweigart celebrate nature in their joint exhibit at Artists’ Gallery in Lambertville entitled “Wild in Detail.” Their artwork will be on display from April 7 to May 1 with an opening reception Saturday, April 9 from 5 to 8:30 p.m.

Beatrice and Michael have built their professional careers with their thoughtful interpretations of the passions that inspire them. While both artists are similar in their contemplative and highly personal approach, they focus on different subjects that nature offers. Beatrice enjoys immersing herself in the thought and planning that is required with watercolor, but also relishes in its poetic qualities.

“My curiosity is satiated through careful portrayal, which in turn reflects the love and respect I have for my subjects. The malleable qualities of this medium allow me to focus on elements that are important to the painting.” As a professional artist, she has amassed numerous honors including recognition by the prestigious Society of Animal Artists and Artists for Conservation with signature status as well as the Eckelberry Award, specifically for bird art. Her paintings have been included in various international exhibits and publications throughout the U.S. and Canada, and are collected throughout the world.

Michael continues to be inspired by the natural landscape and has broadened his scope with paintings of urban street scenes as well as the human figure.

“I’m always interested in new subject matter to expand my visual horizons. No matter what I choose to paint it’s all about creating believable paintings. The underlying abstract shapes that are the foundation for my work are accentual to the naturalistic qualities many have come to identify with my work.”

Artists’ Gallery has been a fixture in the Lambertville art scene for over 20 years, and is located at 18 Bridge Street, in the heart of town. Hours: Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. To learn more about the artists and the schedule of events, visit www.LambertvilleArts.com.
