The Horsham Township Library is pleased to host a two-woman art show featuring works in watercolor, pastels, and other print media by Addie Hocynec and Barbara J. McCorkindale. Their works will be on display through mid-May.

Addie Hocynec	Barbara J. McCorkindale
Known for her vibrant, richly colored landscapes and her abstracts that evoke the moods of nature, Addie's style is both free flowing and imaginative, charged with spontaneity and energy. Her landscapes are meditations on the subtler aspects of nature and the seductive power of light, color and texture. She works in a variety of media including dyes on silk, pastels, oils, acrylics, and photography. Her fascination with color and all its nuances is a driving force for her work. Raised in Montgomery County, PA, Addie Hocynec graduated from Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia with a psychology major and a minor in art. She had all intentions of pursuing a career in art therapy. However, she made a slight detour and ended up in the field of photography. She attended the Antonelli School of Photography for two years specializing in commercial photography and then worked for several different studios including the Seymour Mednick Studio in Philadelphia and a printing house in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Addie has been painting on silk for the last 13 years. She exhibits regularly at many of the area's juried and non-juried shows including Rittenhouse Square Fine Art Show, Immaculata University Art Show, and Phillips Mill Art Show. Her work has been selected at over 62 open juried shows and she has won more then 41 awards for her work including the American Artist Magazine Award for the Northeast Watercolor Society and the American Framing Award for the Philadelphia Watercolor Society's 102nd Anniversary Show.	Barbara J. McCorkindale, well-known Bucks County, PA artist has exhibited in numerous art shows. Although her concentration has been on watercolors since 1980, the last few years have seen an expansion of her artistic interest to include working with pastels. Barbara received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Framingham State College in Massachusetts where she worked in oils, acrylics, pottery, sculpture and studied interior design. Barbara is a signature member of the nationally acclaimed North East Watercolor Society NEWS. She is also a member of the Doylestown Art League and the Oreland Art Center in Pennsylvania. Her paintings have been accepted in all of the Doylestown Art Leage shows from 1982 until the present time. Since joining the Oreland Art Center, her work has been accepted in all of their juried shows also. She has recently joined the North Penn Art Alliance. One of her latest awards included the Gladys Jennings Bryan memorial award at their Wissahicken show in November of 2004. Barbara has had three one-person shows in the Bucks County area and three one-person shows in the Pocono Mountains. Her work is in private collections in California, Florida, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Illinois and Pennsylvania. In 2002, 2003, and 2004, she has participated in the widely acclaimed Fox Chase Cancer Center Art Show where she was awarded second place for her overall exhibit. She has also participated in what she hopes was the first of many shows to benefit BARC (Bucks County Retarded Citizens). This organization is especially near and dear to her heart. Over the past ten years, she has studied with nationally acclaimed watercolorists such as Kass Moran Freeman A.W.S., Judith Betts, A.W.S., Betty Lou Schlemm, A.W.S.,Lee Everett, P.S. W. P., Robert Laessig, A.W.S., Arne Lindemark, A.W.S., and Roland Roycraft. Barbara is currently associated with the well known co-op gallery "The Upstairs Gallery" in Peddler's Village, Lahaska, PA and the Morgan Gallery in Pocono Pines, Pennsylvania.
