“Rittenhouse has been creating space for young artists for nearly 100 years, and their work has been powerful for both the art community and also the community at large.”
- Frances Donnelly Wolf - artist, and former First Lady of Pennsylvania

James Cochrane
Studio Incamminati
I work on linen canvas, both acrylic primed and oil primed. Lately, I have started laying in a tone for the canvas, then drawing and values with burnt umber/white, and finally scattered color.

Madison Cohen
Full-Time Student, University of Pennsylvania
The materials used to render this plein-air collection include stretched canvas, a handmade palette (for oils), paper, oil pastels, a variety of brushes, an outdoor French easel, and a palette knife.

Melissa Halbrook
Realist Art League
My works are in the style of contemporary realism and draw upon four main considerations: composition, form, value, and color. I use oil paint, pastels, graphite, and charcoal.

Jaymie Miller
Studio Incamminati
I mostly use Windsor and newton oil paints. As for techniques, I try my best to use the ones taught to us by my school, such as chiseling out the form and exaggerating the colors you see.

Anna Romaniuk
realist art league
I use traditional media like oil paint on panel or canvas, graphite and charcoal on paper to make representational work or people, things and places.

Hailey Stefanov
I graduated in May of 2026 from Tyler School of Art and Architecture at Temple University.
I apply oil paint to traditional surfaces like canvas and wood paneling. I focus heavily on color theory and interactions along with material quality to describe the emotion of the work.

Victor Surbrook
PAFA
My practice is multi-media, I primarily use oils, pencil, and watercolor, as well as decorative ceramic items. I work both observationally en plein air and from imagination in the studio.

Margaret Tresselt
Temple University, Tyler School of Art and Architecture
My materials revolve around primarily natural mineral pigments that I make from local rocks. In technique, I collect rocks from my environment and turn them into biomorphic, meditative oil paintings.

Jaime Wiesner
Realist Art League
I create observational paintings and drawings in oil and charcoal using traditional realism methods, ranging from short studies to multi-day pieces of live models, casts, and still life objects.

Sumi Zushi
Studio Incamminati
I work primarily in oil on canvas and charcoal on paper. I explore light, form, and atmosphere through landscape painting and classical figure drawing.
