Bucks County Artist Smita Rao at the Carversville Grocery

Bucks County landscape artist Smita Rao's work is on display at the Carversville Grocery through the month of July.  This fine exhibit features a series of monoprints that capture ethereal moments in time and place.  The technique of monoprints is a printing method that involves painting on a plexiglass plate;  they are essentially printed paintings. As a result of this method each print is a unique spontaneous expression that combines printmaking, painting and drawing media.   The following information is from Smita Rao's website :
