ABOUT US
John Longendorfer's work leans
toward medieval fantasy while Edwin Longendorfer's is more contemporary
and somewhat on the humorous side. John also creates sculpture and
one of a kind lamps using a variety of media that have a sense of
fantasy as well. They also feature works by Lillian Longendorfer,
the wife and mother. Working in pastels and oils, her work has an
impressionistic style. Her subject matter tends toward landscape,
wildlife and people at work.
Although new to
the Milford area the Longendorfers have been involved in art over
a number of years. John Longendorfer received his training in art
at the Philadelphia College of art and the Pennsylvania Academy
of Fine Art. And, during the 1970’s he had the original Golden
Fish Gallery in Philadelphia, PA, in the South Street area. He has
shown his work at a number of science fiction conventions and juried
art shows. He is a recipient of the Chesley Award presented by the
American Association of Science Fiction and Fantasy Art for his
body of work. He has also received awards at a variety of art shows.
Edwin Longendorfer is a self
taught artist raised in a household of artists. Guided by his father
he has developed his own style and sense of creativity.
Lillian Longendorfer is a physician
and self-taught artist who has been drawing and painting since early
childhood. Her works have been shown in a number of juried shows
in Pennsylvania and Michigan including the Muskegon of Art and the
Woodmere Gallery.
In addition to their own artwork,
the Longendorfers are committed to promoting works by local artists
and crafts people in Pike County. To this end, they present monthly
art shows which feature one or more of these talented amateur to
well-known professional artists. Look for some of these artists'
work to be shown on this website.
