Brad Browne Fine Art Photography

I am most inspired by the ordinary beauty and humanity all around me. I believe our lives are enhanced through appreciation of our environment, and especially the people in it. In turn, our existence is elevated. When making photographs I look for elegant simplicity and truth. I continually search for meaning in the world. Therefore I see my photographs as an extension of myself engaged in the moment.

Many of my photographs are made close to home. I thrive on the challenge of creating the extraordinary in my regional area. I enjoy delving beneath the surface and getting "inside" my subject. Experience has taught me almost any subject can be beautiful at the right time in the right light.

Betty Coyle: Candlewick Folk Art

Betty Batteaux Coyle is currently residing in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Betty is a self-taught artist who moved from Philadelphia to Lancaster County over 30 years ago.

Lorri L Davis Fine Art

Landscape and nature artist, Lorri L Davis resides in Anchorage, Alaska. Having spent her formative years in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Lorri married her husband Paul, and later moved to the plains of North Dakota and then on to Alaska where she has lived for the past 20 years. Studying art with both the The Lancaster Academy of Watercolor early on in Pennsylvania and the University of Alaska at Anchorage, she has also attended various workshops in Alaska and Colorado. Prominent artists of two workshops included New York nature painter, Thomas Aquinas Daly, and Colorado plein air and figure painter, Kim English.

Oil is now her main medium and she loves spending time outdoors painting plein air whenever possible. Taking advantage of the rich and beautiful lighting in Alaska, some of her favorite places to paint are Prince William Sound, Kenai Fjords, the Wood River, Moose Pass and the many state and national parks here in Alaska. Outside of Alaska, Lorri finds inspiration for her paintings in the prairies of North Dakota, the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and sandy beaches of Hawaii. Lorri looks forward to visiting additional states and possibly even other countries in the future.

Mark A. Dennis Doll Artist

Mark A. Dennis, doll artist, has been creating his art for over 20 years with imagination, sensitivity and character. Mark's attention to detail in his life-like wildlife pieces and his ability to capture the spirit of whimsy in his fantasy pieces are just two of the many reasons that young and old alike are attracted to his art. He captures the movement of life in his art.

Mark's love for sculpting was evident early on in his childhood. His interest was sparked by watching animals in the wild and capturing their intricate movements in his mind's eye. Fantasy art became intriguing as his mind conjured up all sorts of creatures and images. His fantasy art reflects his sophisticated imagination. Later, he found that he was very talented at recreating faces, leading to the birth of his portrait art dolls.

Gerald W. Harris II Paintings & Drawings

Defining art and why we make art is difficult. Art communicates in ways that simple words can not. Painting is the process of divising a visual language. When we're honest in our approach, we create art built on common themes and feelings while maintaining a personal point of view. It is the artist's privilege to share those ideas.

Richard Lawrence

Usually in pen and ink, I draw local people ,and scenes from architecture, and nature. I enjoy keeping a sketchbook, creating rough layouts, and then developing a detailed work back in my studio. My pen and ink paintings are relatively small, enabling me to take much of my visual vocabulary from observation, whether it is from spending time at a local coffee shop, bookstore, restaurant, in parks and other natural settings or behind the lens of my digital SLR camera.

Biography ..
Richard Lawrence was born in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and graduated from J.P.  McCaskey High school in 1967. He is a United States Marine Corps combat veteran of the Vietnam War, 1967-1970. While suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder in the 1980-1990, he began drawing and painting expressive observations of the war. His story has been featured in local print and news media ,and highlighted in newsletters and publications about Veterans stories. His work is part of the permanent collection  of the Vietnam Veterans' Art Museum in Chicago, Illinois . 

Richard draws from observation, maintains a prolific sketchbook, travels to local sites, and participates in local art organizations and art fairs. When he is not drawing, and painting on site, he works in his home studio in Lancaster. He frequently shows at the Lancaster County Art Association, Mulberry Art Studios, numerous local non-profit institutions, and fairs in Lancaster County regions. He lives with his wife in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.

Judy Beck Lobos: Artist in the Garden

"In painting, I'm constantly striving to express the uniqueness of my subject. I have always found nature intriguing and became interested in the Japanese art of sumie several years ago. Sumie appeals to me because of it's expression of energy and spontaneity - each brush stroke is alive and irrevocable. The aim in sumie painting is to capture the essence or spirit of a subject in the fewest possible strokes.

My work with sculpture began several years ago after seeing a large sculpture made of sticks by Patrick Dougherty at the Lancaster Museum of Art. As a lover of nature, twigs have always appealed to me - especially nests made by birds and other creatures. This lead me to create large nests and other spherical forms with sticks from my garden. I see my sculptures as 3-dimensional drawings where the twigs become like pencil lines in a sketch."

Sandra Sigley Fine Artist

"For me, creating art is replicating my visual impressions of the world through drawing and painting. The process always begins with observing, looking, seeing and feeling. An image or scene that really moves me, makes me want to express it my way. When the finished piece looks the way it did in my mind, I feel that I have accomplished my goal.

Inspired and influenced by the Great Impressionists, I am always looking to saturate my paintings with color. I search for every hint of color that I can find in a scene and exaggerate it to create a bold and vibrant painting. While I always enjoy doing landscapes, I am currently working on townscape series... several images of an intersection, neighborhood or favorite location. I am particularly excited about portraying some of these scenes at night. Since darkness is generally an absence of color, finding as much color as I can in the evening shadows is a challenge.

When people see my work , I'd like them to want to know more about it: where is this? what was happening at the time? when did this take place? I'd like them to want to step inside to explore and continue the story that I started."

DebSmithWatercolors

Born and raised in Lancaster County, I grew up with the gift of drawing. Drawing was a fun past-time, but I never saw it as more than that till I was encouraged by my husband (Dean) to take watercolor classes in 1986. Since then, I've taken more classes and workshops with a wide range of artists. One thing I have learned is that nothing takes the place of practice.
