Local Artists have graciously decorated our walls with their original pieces of art. All artwork is available to purchase at Mansion House 1757. Below is a taste of the Artists and their story.
Geoffrey Thulin
“I did not choose to be an artist. Art chose me. I drew (as we all did) as a child, often creating episodic picture books that made sense to no one except me. I continued to draw at all ages and and all stages of my life. I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Art from Penn State (University Park, PA), having also studied at Gettysburg College (Gettysburg, PA) and in Grebbestad, Sweden. I have exhibited my work in San Francisco, CA; Martha’s Vineyard, MA; Stamford, CT; Toledo, OH; and Harrisburg, State College and Gettysburg, PA. My work is in private collections throughout the US.
Besides painting, drawing and photography, music is a passion, as is hiking. I have been a professional picture framer for over 20 years, having worked for an art museum, an art gallery and a custom woodworking shop. I live in south central Pennsylvania with my wife, Julie, where we are forever restoring our 1849 stone farmhouse.”
Tom Rooney
Tom Rooney lives right around the corner in Fairfield. He is a 1974 graduate of Gettysburg College, and worked for many years as a Paramedic with the Gettysburg Hospital. His work in watercolor is self taught. Please enjoy his commissioned piece of Mansion House 1757.
Ed Wargo
Ed Wargo began drawing at about the age of 8, inspired by his older brother, in the mid 1980's, he tried oil painting and realized a connection with the world he had never before experienced.
Wargo continued as a dedicated student of art history and painting for the past 30-years. To improve his skills and understanding, he has studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Delaplaine Art Center with Mary Pfister, and most recently with Kathy Mabius.
His style is essentially impressionistic with American and Russian painters like Paul Strisik, Emile Gruppe, and Isaak Levitan among those he most admires. Ed donates 75% of sales to S.C.C.A.P., which provides aide to needy individuals in Franklin and Adams Counties.
