— LEWISBURG — A one-person show by artist Rachel Heberling will be on view at Mya’s Cafe through early December, featuring print-making works on paper, such as traditional methods of inking a surface that is run through a hand-operated press.
Many of the works contain hand-drawn imagery based upon the anthracite mining region and factories of Southeastern Pennsylvania. The show is titled “Rendered Obsolete: Remains of Industry.”
Heberling is currently a graduate teaching assistant in print-making at Bucknell University, working under professor Rosalyn Richards.

Heberling has exhibited nationally in venues such as the National Academy Museum in New York City, The Arts Club of Washington in Washington, D.C., and the Corcoran Gallery Museum in Washington, D.C. Her work is currently on view at the Pyramid Atlantic Art Center in Silver Spring, Md., for Drawn to Washington, a juried print-making exhibition.
