“Timeless Art,” an exhibition of painting and sculpture by three accomplished artists, will be on view August 3 through September 8, 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays, at the New Hope Colony Foundation for the Arts in New Hope, Pa. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, August 3 from 4 to 7 p.m. The exhibition focuses on three artists, two of whom are over 80 years of age, who have continued to paint, sculpt, and create in their chosen medium.

Sculptor Ashby Saunders, from Upper Makefield, Pa., models clay and bronze into exuberant sculptures, often depicting movement. He has been fascinated by clay modeling since childhood. He began sculpting as an adult and studied for two years with sculptor George Anthonisen. Saunders continued to sculpt, while losing his peripheral vision, until he was 85. His work can be seen in public parks in Bucks County.

Born in New York City, Aurelia Nieves-Callwood fell in love with the beauty of Bucks County’s landscapes after relocating in 1990. She is a self-taught painter and her work is described as realistic impressionism with a strong sense of color. Nieves-Callwood has exhibited in many juried shows in Bucks and Montgomery counties in Pa, and in New Jersey. Her paintings hang in private collections throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. She is president of the Delaware Valley Music Club.

Jacalyn Beam was born in Chester County, Pa. Her paintings, especially her plein air landscapes, are widely recognized and collected for their historical and visual appeal. She exhibits throughout the U.S. and her work has been published by multiple magazines and books including Fine Art Connoisseur and American Art Collector. She serves on the Delaware Arts Council and served for eight years on the Board of Directors for the Mid-Atlantic Plein Air Painters Association.
