Beyond the Armor: A Creative Exploration of Mental Health
May is Mental Health Awareness Month and Jeweled Warrior Gallery invites you to enter into a journey through the complexities of mental well-being. "Beyond the Armor" harnesses the power of art as a medium for expression, connection, and healing. Local artists will be sharing their personal journeys, reflections, and perspectives on mental well-being.
And all of the art is priced $200 or less!
Chester County Studio Tours
Chester county Studio Tour started 14 years ago with one artist opening his studio to the community.
Fourteen years later, there are 202 artists at 71 studios, complete with an online planning tool to map out your personalized tour. (No one can see all 71 studios and remain sane.)
I’m Studio 11 with five artists: Carrie Kingsbury, Harriet Hill (host), Dolores Bartholomew, Dave Yasenchak, and Michael Ressler.
Don’t miss the ‘county collector’ feature. Every artist creates a small work priced at $90—your chance to scoop up some fab art if you’re the first to grab it.

Brandywine Festival of the Arts
Brandywine Festival of the Arts is a Delaware tradition, stated 60 years ago as a 2-day event with bull roast. No bull now, but it’s ranked one of the top 100 shows in the country. Over 200 artists showing fine art, crafts, music, food and drink, and activities for kids, all at the splendid Brandywine Park Josephine Gardens, with trees, winding paths and, of course, the Brandywine River.
Sounds like a wonderful outing to me!

Mothers and Flowers. Love them both! Come feast on some lush flower paintings, in honor of mom’s of all ages in all places!
My mother loved flowers, and it seems to be in my DNA which I have passed on. This painting is of a magnolia bloom we watched open and then droop and finally drop its leaves, all while we drank endless coffee around her kitchen table and chatted and laughed at life.
