I am assuming that the artist you're looking for is Maxfield Parrish.
I have compiled a list of places in the Philadelphia area where you
may view Parrish's work.
======================================================================
The Dream Garden at the Curtis Center:
"The Dream Garden at The Curtis Center is an enormous glass mosaic
designed by famed artist Maxfield Parrish and executed by Louis
Comfort Tiffany's studios in 1916. Measuring 15 by 49 feet, Dream
Garden floats above a gently bubbling fountain and is made of more
than 100,000 pieces of Tiffany's favrile glass.
In truth, the relationship between Maxfield Parrish and Louis Comfort
Tiffany was tumultuous, based on a rueful assessment of each other's
artistic merit. While Parrish complained that Tiffany's translation of
his design lacked subtlety and 'painterliness,' Tiffany countered that
the design sketches were technically vague."

"Dream Garden is an enormous glass mosaic designed by artist Maxfield
Parrish (1870-1966), and executed by Louis Comfort Tiffany and Tiffany
Studios, for the lobby of the Curtis Publishing Building in
Philadelphia -- home of the successful magazines The Ladies' Home
Journal and The Saturday Evening Post. The work was commissioned by
Edward Bok, Senior Editor of the Curtis Publishing Company. Over a
one-month period, prior to being installed in the Curtis Building, the
work was exhibited at Tiffany Studios in New York City, attracting
more than 7,000 admirers and garnering widespread critical acclaim.
The Dream Garden took six months to install into its home in
Philadelphia."
