Studio artists

Visit eight artist studios in scenic Hunterdon and Bucks Counties,
all within 5 miles of Delaware River town Stockton, NJ.

Bonetown Studio

Jeanine Pennell's whimsical sculptures are born from her love of children’s books. Individually sculpted of kiln fired paper clay, her figures hint at people she has known, and appear as illustrations that have stepped off the page. 

Pennell is attracted to gesture drawing and considers each sculpture to be a small sketch in clay. She pulls out details in the clay to form a mouth or a nose and then builds the face from there. The forms are then bisque fired in a kiln to ready them for glazing. Hand painted underglazes are applied and selectively wiped off to reveal facial details. The skin is left without a final overglaze so that high fire heat of the kiln can reveal subtleties in skin tones.

Timothy Martin

Timothy Martin is a classically trained artist who first gained attention when he was selected by Tiffany & Company to display artwork in its Manhattan flagship in 1993. Since that time, he has mounted exhibitions and accepted commissions from both sides of the Atlantic. Timothy was commissioned by Steinway & Sons to paint an actual baby grand piano, the first painter in nearly 70 years so commissioned. By special invitation of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, he exhibited at the Philadelphia Flower Show in 2006 and 2008. An invitation from the Countess Mona Bismarck Foundation in Paris – one of the few it devoted to a living artist – resulted in a one-man show that broke Foundation attendance records. He was asked to create the holidays for the luxury fashion house Hermés, painting a 10-foot by 15-foot original oil for its iconic location in Paris. Embraced by the horticultural community, Timothy’s work has appeared at several botanical gardens and flower shows, including Macy's Flower Show on Herald Square, NYC. Timothy Martin images have been licensed by fine art publishers and now hang in collectors’ homes in the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East.

Moorland Studio

Constance Bassett and David Cann met at an art foundry while pursuing the tools to manufacture and cast (their own) sculpture. As artists they formed a career as makers and repairers in the field of the decorative arts and objects conservation. The spectrum of their decorative arts focus includes a wide range of interest and expertise from the patination of the Statue of Liberty copper sheet metal repairs by P.A. Fiebiger Artisans in Metal, to being awarded the contract to conserve the William Penn Statue on City Hall an ongoing project from 1987 to 2017. Currently they have undertaken the restoration of an 1857 historic real estate project in Stockton, NJ. 


Along with working for Moorland Studios, Inc. Constance and David have pursued their own personal creative endeavors and at times collaborating on pieces. Constance focuses primarily on representational stoneware sculpture and large format oil painting, and at times is experimenting with abstract painting. David is a designer and manufacturer of furniture and lighting as well as a nonrepresentational sculptor primarily working with fabricated or wrought iron.

New Hope Glass Studio

Jill & Dan Burstein are a wife and husband team who work out of their state-of-the-art studio in the woods of Bucks County, PA. Together, they have been creating beautiful works of stained glass art since 2001 and creating unique blown glass pieces since 2009.

Dan is the glass artisan of the team. His first career was as a horse-breeding manager. Classes at Bucks County Community College in glass arts moved him from the stable to the studio. He continued his education and refined his skills under the tutelage of Muranese Maestros Davide Salvadore, Janusz Pozniak and John Miller at Corning Museum of Glass.

Jill, the designer of the team, holds a BFA from Washington University School of Fine Arts. Her love of the medium shines through her designs, brought to life by Dan.

Dan and Jill are members of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen, The Stained Glass Association of America and The Glass Association of America.

John Petach Fine Art

John, a fine art painter living in Stockton, NJ, has been selling work in commercial galleries and shows for the past 21 years. His work now hangs in corporate and private collections throughout the country as well as France, Germany, Switzerland, Britain, Portugal, Dubai, Argentina, Australia, Canada and Mexico.

He takes maps of the places he’s been and use them as his canvas. The maps are gel bonded to a wood art panel on which he then paints a scene of that place on the map. He paints in a thick impasto style using a pallet knife technique. Instead of a pallet knife as a paintbrush he uses some found object from that place as a paintbrush. His paintbrushes have been everything from a clam shell to a Paris Metro Card.

Sunflower Glass Studio

Karen and Geoff Caldwell continue to pursue their passion of mixing many forms of glass into their pieces; fused, painted, beveled and stained glass.  Karen’s fused botanical work explores many native flowers while Geoff continues to add new painting techniques to his hand-painted work. Many of these glass techniques are transformed into small windows and table top collectibles as well as custom windows.  Bevels are always found among each item that Sunflower produces since it was the first love of the art form.

Swan Street Studio

Katherine Hackl has expanded her pottery work to include a new etched porcelain process. This is a new technique for her that blends some of the characteristics of her traditional sgraffito carved work and her hand painted brush work, while creating a look that is altogether new.  These pieces have a lovely light texture to them and a soft matte surface. They have images of meadows, trees, birds and berries, among many other themes. She has included a strong new blue and white series alongside the black and white, and the white on white work. She continues to do her traditional stoneware sgraffito work with many new patterns and images and has several new tile projects in the works.

van Dommelen Art Studio

As a painter, printmaker and box maker, Annelies van Dommelen’s styles remain the same when crossing into each of these mediums.  Whether she is working in paste paper which she creates to enwrap her boxes, or on monotypes which can easily become oil paintings, her signature remains the same but different. Annelies’ mark is transferable to all mediums lending importance to viewing the large body of her work.  As one gets more experience in art making, the realization of technical confidence and freedom of expression becomes more automatic, and more of a conversation between the work and her voice.
