Beverly Murbach-Erhardt is an award winning watercolorist and acrylic artist winning her first award in high school.  She is a member of the Lehigh Art Alliance, the Bethlehem Palette Club, and the Arts Community of Easton.  Her work has been juried into many member exhibitions featured at the Allentown Art Museum, Baum School of Art and the Banana Factory as well as invitational shows.  She was the Art Community of Easton’s (ACE)  recipient of the 2015 Artist of the Year award.   National Geographic has identified her studio as a place to see along the Delaware River.  Beverly has been teaching online since 2020.

 Putting her art aside, Beverly retired from a twenty-five year career in Information technology.  While the technicalities of her former occupation and painting are vastly different, one constant remains – communicating with the audience.  Beverly’s continual desire to experiment with different mediums and techniques produces art that is not bound to traditional methods.  The walls of her studio, Me-Art Studio in Easton, Pa., reflect art that is ever changing, never static, open to suggestion of what is to come.

NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TOURISM

For most of my life, I have lived or worked near the Delaware River.  Being raised in a small resort town in Pennsylvaia very close to the New York border., I came to love and respect the river.   Every school day since Junior High, I'd cross the river to attend High School in Narrowsburg, NY.  Friends and I would climb down onto the rocks in the summer on the river, being careful to avoid the eddy known as the "Big Eddy".  Experiencing the power and beauty of the Delaware can only be experienced up close and personal.

Changes in residences and business always demand that I cross the Delware.  Now, instead of crossing between Pennsylvania into New York as a student and young adult, I now cross over the Delaware from New Jersey to Pennsylvania as an artist to get to my studio in Easton, Pa. 

It has been a great honor to have my art studio recognized by National Geographic and the Scenic, Wild Delware River Geotourism Council.  To be showcased as one of the best destinations along the Delaware for travelers to visit is indeed humbling.
