Our Featured Artist, Len Garon, has painted an original oil for our show. His colorful painting depicts a flower shop with bountiful spring blooms. This theme perfectly captures the anticipation of the end of winter! The original and prints of “Chadds Ford Spring Flowers”, along with many other offerings from Len, will be available for sale at the show.
To Len, art is a visual language through which he speaks his dreams. In his paintings, he portrays a positive attitude and the enthusiasm for living the experiences of life with passion and love. Through color, design, and the effects of light on his subject, Len communicates feelings of mood, nostalgia, and energy. One of Len’s goals with his art is to touch people with life's beauty and motivate them to live their dreams.
Len is a versatile artist and has gained national recognition for his America’s Cup series and his tennis paintings. In 2002, Len created the official poster for the Advanta International Women’s Tennis Tournament held at Villanova University. Additionally, he paints landscapes, seascapes, florals, nudes, portraits and murals. He is at ease with oils, pastel, acrylic, gouache, watercolor, gold leaf and lithography and has recently been working with giclees and color- enhanced graphics. His work is exhibited in local galleries as well as in Maryland, Virginia, New Jersey, New York and Florida.
Len believes the artist has the opportunity and the vision to point out the ordinary in every day life and make it extraordinary.
