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.

Christy Knell

Christy Knell’s paintings are created with beeswax, pigment, and gold foil and leaf. Christy aims to reveal the inherent beauty in the medium by allowing the science to take control, revealing naturally occurring textures and designs through the addition of the blow torch. The materials work together to suggest other elements of nature like marble, stone, and smoke.

Naomi’s work is inspired by the natural world, focusing on the patterns and particles that run throughout the cosmos rather than the distinct forms that make up the material world. Advances in technology reveal images of realities once invisible to us. While their beauty and perfection cannot be matched, they suggest endless possibilities that inspire her to create.
