Ephrata Artist To Display Paintings, Quilted Items

An exhibition featuring artworks by Helena Dueck of Ephrata will be on display at Landis Homes, 1001 E. Oregon Road, Lititz, through October. The art will be on view in the Crossings Gallery in the Crossings.

Dueck will show her watercolors as well as her fiber art, which includes many quilted wall hangings. Her paintings cover a variety of subjects, including florals with some flowers from the Alps, domestic animals and local scenery. Her quilted items use varied fabric scraps from other projects.

Dueck is a native of Paraguay and spent her formative years in South America. As a young woman, she moved to and became a citizen of Canada. She moved to the U.S. in 1967 and later received her citizenship. In addition to pursuing her own art interests, Dueck has given instruction in drawing and painting, including classes at Landis Homes. She is a longtime volunteer at the Material Resources Center in Ephrata and a member of Akron Mennonite Church.

The Crossings Gallery is open to the public from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. For more information, call 717-381-3550.
