Selected Works by “Four Leesburg Ladies” on Display at
Leesburg Town Exhibit Hall
New art exhibit opening during Leesburg’s First Friday
on August 6, 2010, from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m.
Leesburg, VA (August 4, 2010) – An exhibit of works by four Leesburg artists will open at the
Leesburg Town Exhibit Hall on Friday, August 6, 2010 as part of the monthly Leesburg’s First
Friday festivities. The four featured artists are Penny Hauffe,
Maggie Steinhilper, Lee McKinster, and Teresa Vazquez. The
artists will be on hand from 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. to discuss their
work. The exhibit, which will run through October 30, 2010,
showcases twenty-eight of their works.
About the Artists:
Penny Hauffe was born in Namibia and educated in England. In
addition to her paintings, which range in subject from portraits and
animals to landscapes and still life, Penny’s work also includes
book illustrations, murals and faux finishing. She also teaches
group and private art lessons.
Maggie Steinhilper specializes in dry-brush technique
watercolors, but has produced works in oils and acrylics as well.
In addition, she has experimented with other media including
“found object” art. Her art often captures two of her passions,
travel – particularly in the American Southwest - and birds.

Lee McKinster has been working professionally as an artist since she
was seventeen years old. She works primarily with printmaking,
linoleum-cuts and collagraphy, but also enjoys other multimedia
processes such as seriagraphy, solar printing and viscosity prints.
Much of her art explores the parallels between the macro and micro
levels of human awareness.
Teresa Vazquez has been drawing and painting for more than
fifteen years, and is a student of one of the other four
“Leesburg Ladies,” Penny Hauffe. Her favorite media are
acrylics and pastels and her work ranges in subject from
landscapes and still life to wildlife.
