MIDDLETOWN, Ohio

The Pendleton Art Center’s 3rd location is in Middletown OH on Central Ave downtown. In the 1930s the original mid 1800’s Jacoby Building was demolished and a new structure was built housing the Joy Shop. The Joy Shop operated there until 1953 when the John Ross Store moved into the building and several store fronts were combined into one.

By 1964 the Mabley & Carew Company from Cincinnati had purchased the building and opened a large department store that operated until the City Centre Mall was constructed and opened in 1974. At that time Armco Steel Corporation took over ownership of the building and remodeled the interior into offices.

In the mid-1980s with Armco experiencing financial troubles, the company shut down the office and the building sat vacant. After the City Centre Mall struggled for many years, in 2000 the decision was made to remove the mall roof and restore Central Avenue for traffic.

After many years of vacancy, the Middletown PAC location opened in 2011 and has a café and 3 floors of artist studio spaces. The upstairs gallery has hosted several local shows as well as painting classes and fundraisers.

As a landscape and nature photographer, I hope to capture captivating images of the natural world while as an abstract artist, I strive to produce creative designs that unleash the viewer’s imagination.

For over ten years I have been offering landscape, nature and abstract photography. My experience has taught me to look at a scene from many different angles and vantage points to help me interpret the scene with my own vision. To ensure the highest standards of quality, I prefer the Giclee process with it’s advanced software and printing technology. My goal is to provide the customer with a timeless piece of art that can be enjoyed for years to come.
