I am excited to present a lecture titled “Interwoven, Painting with Thread” tonight, Monday July 13, 2026 at 7:15 p.m. This is part of the Mount Gretna School of Art summer lecture series hosted at the Hall of Philosophy at Pennsylvania Chautauqua, Mount Gretna, PA.

The lecture will include the story of how I started making thread paintings and the development of my art over the past several years. I will also share a little bit about my recent sabbatical, artist residency near Joshua Tree National Park and what I am learning about colors and space in the desert.

This lecture series is free and open to the public. No rsvp required. Attend in person or on zoom, link to zoom on the MGSoA Calendar. @mountgretnaschoolofart

Visual delights celebrating the joy of painting and treasured objects around every corner and through every arch. ‘In the Company of Still Life’ curated by Alex and Clara of @artatkingsoaks Each moment of the exhibition is thoughtfully presented, I felt a sense of childlike wonder as I explored the galleries.

Joshua Tree National Park includes portions of two deserts, Mojave to the northwest Colorado to the southeast. I am fascinated by the way the colors, plant life, rock formations and mountains change with the elevation. Gouache painting was made on site at porcupine wash near the southern end of the park. Abstracted grid thread painting made in my Lancaster, PA studio based on the observed desert colors. #desertcolors #landscapepainting by @leitzke
