Susquehannah Valley Plein Aire Painters
Group Statement
The Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters are a group of 30 artists dedicated to painting directly from life, capturing the landscapes, towns, and changing light of Central Pennsylvania and beyond. Working outdoors—often in shifting weather and fleeting conditions—we embrace both the challenges and the rewards of painting “en plein air.”
Our members bring a range of styles and perspectives, but we share a common goal: to respond honestly to what we see and experience in the moment. Whether along the Susquehanna River, in quiet farmland, or in historic streets, each painting reflects a personal encounter with place, light, and atmosphere.
This exhibition represents not only individual artistic voices, but also a shared commitment to observation, craftsmanship, and the tradition of plein air painting. Together, we celebrate the beauty of the everyday landscape and the enduring practice of painting from life.
