Banks of the Susquehanna by Lisa Madenspacher

Until recently the majority of Lisa's artwork has been commissioned originals. In an effort to meet increasing demand, she has begun to offer limited edition prints. Four new oil paintings of Lancaster County scenes are available in limited quantity using the state-of-the-art giclee method of reproduction. One entitled 'Banks of the Susquehanna' will be available for sale through the Columbia Chamber of Commerce.

As of March 1, 2004, Lisa's work will be on permanent display and for sale through 'Picture This Custom Framing' in the Willow Valley Square, Willow Street. Her artwork can also be found during the year at various shows throughout the county, including Rockford Plantation in May, and the Landis Woods Outdoor Art Show in Manheim Township on the last Saturday in September. All artwork is available for private showings at Lisa's Manheim Township home studio.
