Opportunities to enhance your lifestyle and your life abound. Explore new or hidden talents in our Creative Discovery programs, with choices such as photography, watercolor painting, floral design, joyful journaling, drumming, bonfire storytelling and cooking classes.
Introduction to Drawing
Awaken your creativity with visual expression and discover your inner artist. Drawing differs from painting in that it is much more exploratory with emphasis on observation and composition. Leave inspired and with a picture that shows off your rejuvenated artistic side.
Watercolor Painting
Explore new, hidden, or forgotten talents. A two hour class that offers you the opportunity to express your feelings through simple brushstrokes. Appreciate the true beauty of nature and our surroundings by taking time to stop and really notice the colors and textures and capture it all on paper. Leave with a finished work of art and a new or renewed creative side.
The Art Gallery at The Lodge at Woodloch encourages and celebrates the artistic endeavors of local and regional artists. Artists currently on display in the Art Gallery include:
Harry Bertschmann
The Lodge at Woodloch is a place for joy and contemplation -- a perfect fit for Harry Bertschmann’s work, with his masterful juxtaposition of vibrant colors and shapes that draw the viewer into a playful dance. The depth of these constructions with layers of paper, carry us to surprising dimensions, sometimes into a place of calm or vibrating energy or both, resulting in an ongoing dynamic conversation.
Born in Basel, Switzerland, the artist was trained by Armin Hoffman, Emil Rudr, Donal Brun and others at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Basel and apprenticed in graphic design techniques, concept aesthetics and painting at the Fritz Buehler Atelier. Living and working in New York City as a painter and graphic designer, Bertschmann has had numerous exhibits in New York City galleries. His work has also been shown at the Carnegie Institute in Pennsylvania, in various universities in the USA, in Ohio and California, and has shown in Israel, Belgium and Switzerland. This prodigious, prolific artist is represented in private collections in USA, Europe and Japan and in permanent public collections – of Swiss Re America, Boca Raton Museum, Pfizer, Lila Wallace Readers Digest Collection, Case Western Reserve University and others.
Susan Roth
One purpose of coming to the Lodge at Woodloch might be to naturally elevate ones mood. Just looking at Susan Roth’s delightful paintings help accomplish this.
There are layers and layers here, a feast for our eyes to travel, passing an x delineation that separates planes converging towards a center rooted in cerulean blue. We can rest there a while before we are buoyed to leap over billowing fields and mountains of whimsy, exploring a fantasy landscape with dips and painterly peeks, all expressed in a broad range of colors.
Growing up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania , Susan Roth had her first art training at the Carnegie Mellon Museum, part of a select group of students chosen to participate in a funded city-wide high school art program. Living in New York City, Roth studies at the Arts Students League. Her paintings, such as the one featured here, usually originate from a landscape, often from her place in the Hudson Valley in upstate New York. The artist exaggerates the strong colors to express her elation about the view, and often pushes the image to become more abstract, usually with a positive feeling. The emphasis is always on strong composition and strong colors. The artist has shown in New York City and the Hudson Valley.
