Joan Stromberg of Port Allegany has a variety of artwork on display at Charles Cole Memorial Hospital’s Irwin Medical Arts Center as part of the hospital’s Community Art Showcase.

Stromberg has been painting all her life and prefers painting barns, landscapes and flowers using watercolors and oils. “I like looking out the window and painting what I see.” Her work has been displayed at the John White Studio in Coudersport, the annual art show in Port Allegany and the Meadville Fine Arts Show. She has won several blue ribbons and best of show awards. “Painting is my way of preserving an important part of our heritage.”

The Community Art Showcase features artists for about six to eight weeks. The project has featured Jessie Vaughn of Ulysses, Karen Wolf of Sweden Township, Pat Bosworth of Port Allegany, Alyson Leach, Leslie Kelley, and Suzan Richar of Galeton, Curt Weinhold, Naomi Keller, Heather Chilson, Lindsey Francis, and Maxine Shear of Coudersport, Mercedes Schwartz of Smethport, and Oswayo Valley students Jody Osburn, Elizabeth Coyle, Megan Mesler and Jenna Maxson, according to chairperson Betty Wei.
