2 Artists To Appreciate: Open Reception
2023-09-10 11:00 - 13:00 | Markeim Arts Center, 104 Walnut Street (Lincoln Ave & Walnut St), Haddonfield, NJ, 08033, United States
The Art of Joey Rihl & Jay Miller
Meet the Artists! Sunday, September 10th | 11:00am – 1:00pm
You’re invited! Join us for a special event – Sunday Brunch and the Opening Reception for our new exhibition: The Art of Joey Rihl & Jay Miller. This is a stunning, bold show sure to leave an impression.
Joey Rihl grew up in Haddonfield and volunteered at the Markeim in his youth. He has trained in classical realism for years, and has studied at Studio Incamminati, Philadelphia. He finds the inspiration for his works in history, literature, theatre, and classic film. Joey creates his art using oil paints and graphite/ink on paper. He lives in Merchantville, New Jersey.
Jay Miller’s background includes studying at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, practicing as a full-time painter, and working in the graphic arts industry. Using acrylics and mixed media, much of Jay’s work expresses the dynamic tension that exists between the order and chaos that shapes our mutual reality. Recently, Jay has turned his attention to creating semi-abstract representations of people in public life who have meant much to him.
A delicious brunch will be served courtesy of our Board Member, Rosie Hymerling. Please register your attendance for the Opening Reception so we can plan accordingly for serving refreshments. The Exhibition will be on view until November 17th.
$5.00 Members Admission | $8.00 Non-Members Admission

John, a Society of Media Photographers member, has pieces in museums and private collections worldwide. You can also see his work in the public art installation next time you fly out of Terminal A in Newark.
John was born in Chicago, USA, to Greek immigrant parents. He studied political science and communications and received a BS and an MBA from Northwestern University. John spent the next few decades combining a passion for preserving the planet with his business knowledge to create a highly successful environmental home cleaning product line and international business. Throughout his career, he took time to travel and pursue his other passion, photography.
Along the way, he fell in love with the Jersey Shore. Since 2020, he has been working on two projects, “Enduring City” landscapes of Athens, Greece, and “The Jersey Shore.” When he is not traveling, John and his camera can be found at the Jersey Shore (long-time resident of Harvey Cedars, NJ), Athens, and Chicago.

Featuring the paintings, sculptures and relief art of John Giannotti and the nature photography of Keara Giannotti
John Giannotti, sculptor of Haddy, is professor emeritus at Rutgers University, where he served as Fine Arts Chair in Camden and Director of Junior Year Abroad in Italy. His paintings and sculptures are in numerous public and private collections worldwide, including his bronze monuments of Madame Curie and Walt Whitman at Soka University in Japan. Additional castings of Walt Whitman are installed in the cities of the poet’s birth and death, Huntington, NY and Camden, NJ. In addition to Haddy, John has donated his services to create several sculptures and relief paintings for the Borough of Haddonfield, including The Little Artist sculpture at Tatem, the Rosie Hymerling mural at Tatem, and the Last Buttonwood painting at the library. He has served as a consultant and Board member at the Markeim and at HOST, the Haddonfield Outdoor Sculpture Trust. To see more of John’s paintings and sculptures, including his recent work on the Temple Owl bronze, visit his website, GiannottiStudios.com
Keara R. Giannotti is a naturalist and the founder/director of Camp Creek Run, a nonprofit 50-acre camp & nature preserve that is dedicated to connecting children with the natural world. As an environmental educator, she embraces nature study as both a science and an art form. Her goal with nature photography is not only to capture the beauty of the subject, but to create composed, descriptive pictures that document intimate, macro details of plants, animals, and fungi to be used as reference to deepen her understanding, and share it with others. Keara finds joy in the process of discovery and documenting the details and diversity of life, and considers every moment outdoors an opportunity to observe and learn. Keara shares her snaps and science & nature musings on Instagram (@Keara.Giannotti), and also on her website, LetsGoGetLost.org

Discover the beauty of unpredictability in this hands-on Raku pottery class. Rooted in traditional Japanese techniques and embraced by modern ceramic artists, Raku firing produces unique, crackled, and metallic finishes that make each piece one of a kind.

In this course, you’ll learn the entire Raku process—from forming and glazing to the dramatic outdoor firing that makes Raku so exciting. After placing your work in a red-hot kiln, we’ll pull it out at peak temperature and transfer it into combustible materials, creating stunning effects through smoke and rapid cooling.

Perfect for both beginners and experienced adult and teen potters, this class emphasizes experimentation, creativity, and embracing the unexpected. No two pieces are ever the same, and that’s exactly the point.

Materials included. Be prepared to get a little messy and have a lot of fun!

Through guided activities set to a curated playlist of Taylor’s most iconic songs—from “You Belong with Me” to “Bejeweled”—participants will explore themes of identity, growth, dreams, friendship, dealing with disappointments and empowerment. Using magazines, art supplies, and lyric prompts, students will reflect on who they are and who they’re becoming—crafting unique visual expressions of their inner world and future hopes.

This workshop blends creativity, music appreciation, and personal development in a safe, inclusive, and inspiring space. Whether your teen is a lifelong Swift fan or just loves to make art, they’ll leave with a meaningful piece that reflects their story—and a boost of confidence in their voice.

No art experience necessary—just bring your imagination and love for self-expression! All materials provided.

This course is led by Gloucester City High School art teacher Katelyn Doherty who also holds a MA in Art.
