Mt. Laurel Library will be hosting a display of Dressler Smith’s paintings from Monday, June 30, through Sunday, August 31. A “Meet the Artist” reception will be held on Sunday, July 13 at 1:30 p.m. The display and the reception are open to the public.
Dressler Smith is a colorist who specializes in tranquil landscapes and ethnic images. Her inspiration comes from “the beauty of things created by God and not by man.” A South Jersey resident, Smith works as coordinator of adult programs at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. She received a bachelor’s of fine arts at Moore College of Art. Her work is in many public and private collections, including Oprah Winfrey’s.
