As a curator, Benigno has assembled a group of artists using different mediums – photography, painting, printmaking, mixed media, and 3D art – whose work is inspired by their memories of the woodland adventures from their informative childhood years. When asked about the show he stated,
“Children naturally yearn to explore the woods. Hours could be spent playing in the mud or simply observing Nature. They are natural explorers. They love all things from slimy animals to the miracle of leaves putting on Nature’s spectacular display every Fall.
Now, as adults, we gather to look back on those carefree magical days climbing trees and swinging from branches. Woodlands played an important role in our collective formative years. This work looks to capture that sense of adventure, mystery, make-believe, and innocence we all remember so fondly.”

Borrelli’s Chestnut Hill Gallery is located in the heart of historic Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia at One East Gravers Lane right off of Germantown Avenue and amidst Gallery Row. Our quaint, tree-lined shopping district features 120 unique shops, restaurants, galleries and other cultural institutions and is an easy trip from either downtown Philadelphia or its suburbs.
Borrelli’s Gallery features a wide variety of artists from the traditional to the more contemporary. We are delighted to represent many renowned, well-established artists, but also are proud to provide a place for new and emerging artists to showcase their talent. The result is a wonderfully rich and diverse collection of original artwork in many mediums including oils, watercolors, acrylics, multi- media and silver-gel photographs of landscapes, stills, figures, abstracts and sculpture.
