About Evelyn Faherty...
The career of Yardley painter Evelyn Faherty can be best described as sold out shows of "one shot deals" - a term coined by the artist to describe her method of going outdoors and painting a landscape in one session.

Although her recognition has come later in life, her talent was noticed decades ago by the Bucks County Impressionist John Folinsbee (1892-1972) who encouraged her youthful determination to paint. He invited the young Evelyn to paint with him in his studio. "Mr. Follinsbee told me I had something. It was very flattering that he told me that. He thought I was really going to do great things."

Her canvases show no hesitation. Ms. Faherty knows exactly what she is doing. Her bold, vibrant brush strokes and fluid colors capture the essence of the scene. Her works are filled with a restless energy, a rhythm of movement where nature is in constant flux and the river never stops its flow. Although she can easily copy any great French master, her work is most appealing when it is done outside her home along the Delaware Canal. Her collectors should know that Ms. Faherty's works are historically significant as a continuation of the Bucks County Impressionists, also known as the New Hope School.
