In 1952, Myrtle Tremblay and her husband, Louis, moved to New Holland when Louis secured a job with New Holland Machine. Tremblay was an established painter when she came to New Holland, but when she discovered the bucolic scenes of eastern Lancaster County, her art took a different turn. “Myrtle Tremblay - An Ever-Changing Scene” will be presented in the chapel at Garden Spot Village (GSV), 433 S. Kinzer Ave., New Holland, on Thursday, March 21, at 7 p.m. The presentation will be given by Win Reber, president of the GSV Art Guild, in partnership with the New Holland Area Historical Society. Reber will delve into the evolution of Tremblay’s paintings with regard to styles, subjects, and interpretations. The public is invited to attend. Reber became interested in

Reber’s volunteer efforts with the society led him to create a multimedia show on Tremblay’s history and artwork. Tremblay was born in Albion, Mich., in 1908. Initially, she taught herself to draw by copying pictures. When she attended Bay City Junior College, her talent was recognized, and she served as art editor of the school yearbook. She later earned a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University. She attended the Art Institute of Chicago, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine

This year’s event, which will be open to the public for the first time, will be held in the cafeteria of the Upper Leacock Township Building, where Steps to Success is located, at 56 Hillcrest Ave., Leola, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. See Swap Meet pg 3
