Art for Pemberton, a non-profit volunteer effort devoted to
showcasing regional artists, celebrates National Women's Month at
Pemberton Community Library with a one-woman exhibit, "Animals (some
wild) - Drawings by Lee High". The public is invited to meet the
artist at a reception open free to all, 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday March 27.
Refreshments will be served. Also on display is "Elizabeth C. White,
the Blueberry Queen" a special presentation by Whitesbog Preservation
Trust. Both exhibits run through May 14.
Well-known wildlife artist Lee High reveals her personal affection
for cats and dogs in this major display of her recent work. Evocative
charcoal and pastel drawings of Persians, Siamese and Labradors
complement her portraits of gorillas, wolves, panthers and a menagerie
of exotic primates and big cats.
This Willingboro, NJ artist demonstrates a deep love and sensitivity
for wildlife of all kinds. Her remarkably detailed drawings reflect a
growth and maturity that few artists achieve. All her animals - found
in their jungle habitat or living as companions for humans - are
portrayed with warmth, passion and enthusiasm. Their eyes look back at
us with an intensity that is surprising and entrancing.
Ms. High's artworks hang in many private collections. Nearly all of
the 34 works in this exhibit are available to be purchased. She has
exhibited throughout Burlington County, at the annual Rittenhouse
Square Fine Art Show in Philadelphia, the Camden Renaissance Art Show
and the Providence, Rhode Island Wildlife Show.
Her work has also been shown at Smithville Mansion, Heritage Fine Art
Gallery, Burlington Fine Art Gallery, Pavilion Gallery, Burlington
County College and numerous other spaces.
Also featured in this celebration of National Women's Month is the
exhibit "Elizabeth C. White, the Blueberry Queen" a special
presentation by Whitesbog Preservation Trust. In the early 1900s,
Elizabeth C. White began a quest to cultivate the first commercially
viable blueberry. She helped organize the NJ Blueberry Cooperative
Association, was the first female member of the American Cranberry
Association and became the first woman to receive the NJ Department of
Agriculture citation. In addition, Miss White was a noted humanitarian
and known as the "moving spirit" of the cranberry growers business
association. Find out more about the life and achievements of this
remarkable woman - visit the Whitesbog Preservation Trust's Pemberton
Library Display for National Women's Month honoring Elizabeth C. White
- the undeniable Blueberry Queen.
In addition, continuing on display throughout the library are the 19
major artworks of the library's permanent collection. These paintings
and drawings by local artists have been donated to the library over
the last 35 years. They have recently been remounted and reframed
using archival materials that will preserve and protect the artworks
and ensure their survival, to enrich the lives of viewers for
generations to come. This conservation project, undertaken by Art for
Pemberton in association with Friends of the Library, was completed
last fall, when the entire collection was exhibited together for the
first time.
