This summer, Mulberry Art Studios will revisit one of its signature artists and showcase more artworks of the late Lewis Lanza Rudolph. Rudolph was such a prolific artist in his day that even though Mulberry has held three exhibitions of his works over the past few years, the pieces in the upcoming exhibit will all be new to the public. The exhibit will have opening receptions during First Fridays, Aug. 4 and Sept. 1, from 5 to 9 p.m.

Rudolph began painting in 1966 and continued into the late 1990s, mostly painting in obscurity. He lived his entire life in his childhood home in Red Bank, N.J., and spent his free time alone, walking the boardwalks of Asbury Park to Belmar, N.J., and painting in his basement. He died in 2012 during valve replacement surgery.

Rudolph's work is predominately abstract, created in oils on engineered wood with occasional added paper and wax layering. He was favorably critiqued by The New York Times during the time he spent showing his work in New York City and northern New Jersey galleries.

Mulberry is located in historic downtown Lancaster at 21 N. Mulberry St. and offers free parking in its private lot.
