by Jane Stahl

Beginning Sunday, January 5, 2025, Studio B Art Gallery begins a Sunday Series of unique presentations through February 9. Sessions are free and open to the public and will run from 1:00-3:00 p.m. Light refreshments will be served following the presentations.

January 5: Psychic Medium Cristina Leeson will host a book signing of her recently-published book Live in the Light; Respect the Dark--dealing with the reality of ghosts who are stuck between dimensions, who attach themselves to people and places and create hosts of problems.

In writing the book, Cristina fulfills a duty to help others understand and protect themselves from negative energies and open awareness to our divine purpose connected to Source offering love for all. For Cristina, there are no coincidences; we all have the ability to tap into other spiritual realms and energies. Cristina will share techniques in ridding homes of spirits who linger in our dimension. Join her on the journey to joy.

January 12: Poet and Educator Phil Repko will host a reading and book signing of his recently published book of poetry Pieces of April. Phil, a popular teacher and administrator in Boyertown High School teacher and Daniel Boone Area School District, currently serving as a Lower School Dean of Students at Renaissance Academy, a public charter school located in Phoenixville, PA, has been writing poetry for decades.

Pieces of April, a collection of contemporary poems, has its genesis in an annual challenge undertaken by Repko and his two sons by completing a poem for each day in April, National Poetry Month in the United States. Repko’s grounding in the canon of traditional American and British literature is highly evident in the verse. The poems are rife with references to the cultural concerns of the day, while also incorporating the joys and sadness of daily life, universal themes accessible to everyone. Pieces of April is available in paperback on Amazon at a retail price of $15.00

January 19: Barbara Post, award-winning fine artist, whose power point will explore one of the most exciting museums in our nation’s capital --the Smithsonian American Art Museum & the National Portrait Gallery. This old DC Patent Office building, used as a hospital during the Civil War and the site of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Ball, offers even ghost stories and is now home to the largest collection of American Art in the world.

The treasures in today’s SAAM/National Portrait Gallery contain not only the earliest American examples of paintings, sculpture, folk art, and craft collections, but continue with our constantly changing contemporary Art. Plus opportunities for we American artists to enter prestigious juried art exhibitions there.

February 2: Sandra Williams, a writer of poetry, essays and short stories, believes writing is both therapeutic and enlightening as “we become aware of what inspires us, expand our imagination, delve into our own knowledge and experience, and rely on our intuitive selves.” Sandra is the author of a historical novella Moss on Stone and a collection of tales Time and Tide.www.cosmicseanotes.blogspot.com.

February 9: Sandra Williams will again encourage thoughtful writing by lively discussion in exploring the Buddhist 8-fold Path.

We're excited to start the new year together! Please invite friends and family to join us!
