Bethlehem Office Artwork

Dr. M and his Mom

Many patients have asked about the beautiful paintings in the Bethlehem Office that carry the signature "JMoran".   The artist is Jeanne Moran, Dr. Mark Moran's mother.  A resident of Moosic, PA, Dr. Moran's hometown.  She has been painting for off and on for many years.  Her serene landscapes add warmth to the office on  Delaware Avenue.  Asked if he inherited his mother's artistic talent, Dr. Moran replied "I can draw stick figures."  Here's a small sampling of the pictures in the Bethlehem office.
