About the artists:
Alice Hart, painter of the contribution card, is a resident of Alloway, New
Jersey and member of the Greater Delaware Valley Chapter. She graduated
from Jonas Hopkins Hospital with a Bachelor of Science of Nursing and from
Johns Hopkins University’s School of Hygene and Public Health with a
Masters degree in Public Health. Hart, has always loved art, even though
she doesn’t have much time to paint.
Hart was diagnosed with MS in 1993 after a bout of optic neuritis. Today,
in addition to her artisitic endeavors, she serves as the Nursing Director
of the Vineland New Jersey Department of Health.
Northeast Philadelphia grandmother Marilyn Adler has been painting since
childhood. Her artistic interest led her to attendance in Philadelphia’s
Moore Institute of Art and the complete of numerous water color classes at
art centers in suburban Philadelphia. Although she worked as a bookkeeper
for many years, Adler always found time to paint, and has her work featured
in juried shows at both the Abinton and Oreland Art Centers where she took
classes. “Painting is very therapeutic,” Adler says, “Especially since my
diagnosis of MS in 1990. Although I find it difficult to paint small items
due to my visual problems and experience a lot of fatigue, it’s wonderful
for me.”
