The Golden Hour
April 1 – May 30, 2026
The current exhibit in the Swanagan Gallery at the Cranbury Public Library features watercolors by Lisa Agnes Walsh. This exhibition, titled “The Golden Hour” features paintings about light, and specifically, about that moment when the light streams in touching everything in gold. Lisa expresses it as “the moment I wait for, transforming an ordinary second in time into something achingly beautiful, worth of painting.”
Lisa Agnes Walsh is a graduate of the Maryland Institute, College of Art in Baltimore where she studied Graphic Design and Illustration, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts.
At the Maryland Institute, Lisa developed a love for watercolor painting that she continues to explore. She paints and shows her work regularly in New Jersey, including shows at the Blackwell’s Mills Canal House in Somerset, the Gourgaud Gallery in Cranbury and the Parsonage Barn in Cranbury.
