Artist Ginny Atwell studied at Pratt Institute where
she received her BFA for Design & Visual Communication. After working at
design studios in Manhattan, including the advertizing agency Venus, she

colored pencil and pen & ink, and enjoys painting plein air landscapes and
historical buildings of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Ginny illustrated the
children's book "When You Wake in the Dark", and won the 2010
Bethlehem Christmas City Seal contest.

The Heller Homestead Art Gallery and the Antiques and
Collectibles, a charming gift and consignment shop, operated by volunteers, are

Sundays 11 am to 2:00 pm. (summer hours) and closed most holiday weekends.
Proceeds benefit the Saucon Valley Conservancy, Inc. If the Art Gallery and
Gift Shop are closed, it is due to unexpected circumstances, and we apologize
for any inconvenience.

Time” are available by appointment (donations greatly appreciated).
