Conversation Around the Corner

Richard Ressel: The Artist in the Neighborhood
Tuesday, June 3, 2025
6:30 – 7:30 p.m.

On Tuesday, June 3, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., St. Matthew Lutheran Church (700 Pleasure Road, Lancaster) will host “The Artist in the Neighborhood,” a presentation by Grandview Heights resident Richard Ressel—an accomplished artist and educator whose career spans more than four decades.

A graduate of Lancaster Catholic High School, Millersville University (BA), and Alfred University’s Continuing Education program, Ressel devoted over 40 years to the Art Department at Lancaster Catholic High School before retiring in 2020.

He is a Signature Member of the National, Pennsylvania, and Philadelphia Watercolor Societies, and a Fellow Maxima Cum Laude of The American Artist Professional League in New York. Ressel has exhibited widely in regional, national, and international shows, earning recognition for his work in both ceramics and watercolor. His art has been featured in notable publications such as Best of Watercolor: Painting Light and Shadow and Splash: The Best of Watercolor Series.

Also a seasoned teacher, juror, and speaker, Ressel continues to inspire through his deep passion for the arts.

This free event is part of St. Matthew’s Conversation Around the Corner speaker series, which aims to bring the community together through meaningful dialogue, shared learning, and diverse perspectives.
