Patricia van Essche

PvE Design began way back when, long before the internet was a place to share. Then In 2006, the first web site was created for PvE aka Patricia van Essche to showcase her artistry. The site was created by a former Rivertown resident. Patricia began to present happy painted murals, charming illustrations and print designs for fashion houses. Patricia previously spent 15 years designing for many Fashion Designers, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Liz Claiborne. She then realized that her art focus was on her family and the playful watercolor design and whimsical illustrations she created. Many PvE devotees and Instagram followers have provided a great opportunity to create for a near and far reaching clientele. She is also a certified Pilates instructor and believes that life is to “live well, live fit and live artfully. Patricia is a longtime resident of Ardsley since 1996, and a staunch supporter of the arts and pilates community. “PvE believes that art and movement can help change people’s lives and make them smile a bit more.” She is proud to be part of the RiverArts community.

Beverly paints joyful memories of desserts and foods. Often partially eaten, these simple pleasures elicit nostalgia. Her first experiments with placing broccoli in candy vending machines stimulated a dialog. This unexpected juxtaposition excited kids and adults, inspiring a series. Recently, she began painting her Ikebana flower arrangements. Come take a bite out of life – with food, flowers, and fun!

Linda Friedlander

Linda loves painting still life and outdoor settings from direct observation, using vibrant pigments and complex imagery. She chooses subjects primarily for their color and pattern, as well as their reflective and transparent qualities. She often picks items that have sentimental value or conjure up a fond memory. “I hope my art conveys a vision of optimism and brightness.”
