Exhibition Jurors 2022
Christine Ramirez: Christine Ramirez has worked professionally in the Bucks County arts scene for 17 years. She started at New Hope Arts in 2005 with mentor Robin Larsen and has helped shape the organization, wearing many hats and hanging dozens of national juried exhibitions. She is currently the Exhibition Specialist and is highly acclaimed for her sophisticated curatorial prowess. She has been a judge in the beloved Annual New Hope Arts and Crafts Festival many times.
Christine also founded The “A” Space, a rotating gallery for professional artists on the first floor of NHA, in 2013. A graduate of New Hope-Solebury HS and Skidmore College, Christine now lives with her husband and two children in Carversville. She does commissioned portraiture from her home.
Rita Gekht: In designing for tapestries, Rita is often drawn to architecture—that marvelous creation of human mind and eye, the intricate relation of a line, a shape and structure. There are many technical similarities between constructing a structure and weaving a tapestry: layering shapes together, interconnecting them for strength, finding that perfect balance of verticals and horizontals.
Gekht creates one-of-a-kind tapestries from her original watercolor and pencil designs. To ensure excellence in her work, she uses the finest quality yarns, and she hand dyes most of them to achieve the variations in color and value found in the original designs. She primarily uses traditional tapestry techniques.
Jaysond Neill: Jaysond is currently the Senior Designer at George Nakashima Woodworkers and building his own collection of pieces at his shop, workshop Andusti, the Wyandot Native American word for cold, pure water. A master craftsman, designer and artist, his work has mainly been centered around natural materials and the building arts.
