 Ms. Barbara Eni Ristaino is our guest artist for the month of September at our library. Her many fascinating and delightful paintings are positioned around the walls of our library for your review and appreciation. It was Pablo Picasso who once said ,"We are all born artists, and then we grow up". Here is an opportunity for you to revisit your creativity, see the many paintings  in a relaxed setting over light refreshments and much chocolate and also meet the artist and ask her directly about the inspirations that created such lovely paintings.

The Marple Public Library is located at 2599 Sproul Road,  Broomall, PA 19008-2829.  Light refreshments will be served.  Barbara’s art will be on display during the month of September.
