ARTIST BIO/STATEMENT

Sam Shank is a tattooer and artist native to York, Pennsylvania, who works out of a private studio at New York Wire Works building. He began tattooing in 2015 at Trident Tattoo Company in Dover, Pennsylvania. Previously, he was an architectural renderer. Both careers, however, were a continuation of a life-long pursuit of interest in the arts.

As described by Sam, "My path as an artist has not been a linear one but one of constant exploration and expanding on previous experiences. A journey of understanding each mediums possibilities and limitations. How to combine them to inform and enhance the final product.

With tattooing, I have found that black and grey works best with my philosophy and technique that resonate with my clients vision. The tattoos I craft are characterized by bold, or simple designs with strong contrasts and a conscious use of negative space, ensuring their endurance over a lifetime. My method is respectful, both to the client's skin and their time, minimizing trauma and discomfort without compromising the artistry.

In painting, I am discovering the richness and vibrancy of color, as well as, it's more subdued uses. Also, working with texture and the use of layering to build up the painting and allowing the subtleties of the previous layer to show through. Painting is a way to express my own personal imagination and interests.

3D modeling allows me to work in a virtual space where I can create and envision in multiple dimensions of space and light. Which I use to translate back into a more traditional form of art.

Through the use of multiple mediums and disciplines. I aim to be a well rounded artist, with a deeper understanding art and all its possibilities."

Tina is a mixed media artist living and working in Harrisburg, Pa. Her primary focus is acrylic as an abstract expressionist, but she also enjoys working with collage, found objects and assemblage, and digital art.

Tina maintains her studio space at The Millworks with her trio known as "Three Ring Circus". She has also exhibited and won awards at Creative York, Hive Artspace, York Art association, Harrisburg Art Association, Café 1500, Gallery at 2nd, Tutoni's in York and Brain Vessel.

Like many artists, Thom Kulp has always engaged in some sort of creative endeavor. His journey began with crayons and pencils as a child and progressed to water colors, oils and acrylics later in life. Along the way there were other explorations and forays into collage, collagraphy, encaustic, block printing, and mandala drawing. Some of his latest pieces are venturing into the three dimensional realm, but have not as of yet become true sculptures. They are more akin to bas reliefs.

Thom studied painting and drawing at Harrisburg Area Community College with the colorist painter, Edith Socolow who influenced him in the realm of abstract art. Color as subject matter was a revelation to him and his current work is still highly influenced by this. After studying Experimental Mixed Media with Linda McCloskey for several years at the Art Association of Harrisburg, he took over that class and taught it for several years there as well as at the York Art Association in York, PA. In addition to studying with Linda, Thom has taken classed with Julie Yontz-Rupp, Phyllis Disher-Fredericks and Ron Schloyer. He has conducted various workshops in Experimental Mixed Media, Collagraphic Printing, Mandala Making, and Painting in the style of Jackson Pollock. Currently he teaches students in his home studio located in Linglestown, PA. He has participated in many local shows and won numerous awards for his art.

A retired floral designer currently residing in Dover, PA, LisaAnn settled in Southeast Pennsylvania after graduating from Penn State in 1984. The Arts have always been part of her education. Drawing, painting, and sculpture classes were taken alongside biochemistry, agronomy, and physics classes. In finalizing her Bachelor of Science degree by choosing Horticulture specializing in floral design and greenhouse flower crops, LisaAnn found a way to blend her scientific education with her intuitive artistic expression. LisaAnn works primarily in acrylic on canvas, yet has been known to dabble in watercolor and ink, fabrics, even learning to solder working in copper pipe when inspiration strikes. Her growth as an artist broke loose in the early 2000's when she stepped onto the stage of local theaters as an actor and costumer, creating fantastical characters and scenes that became movable art. While her greatest achievements by far have been her 3 daughters, she continues to seek to create work that captures a feeling of connection - to the earth, to the forest; as well as a sense of place - sometimes out of time.

ARTIST STATEMENT

I create narrative found object assemblage sculptures I use artifacts and symbolic objects to convey stories about relationships with family, place, love, faith, nature, self, time, and other themes. During the process, I go beyond my personal stories and the narrative becomes universal as I feel our stories are all connected. Some objects/symbols are obvious; others may be interpreted by viewers differently as they bring their own experiences to the work. I enjoy the idea that something from my story may cause others to reflect on their own narrative. Reflection on personal narratives in order to better understand self and others is a very powerful experience that continues to draw me to the studio and my work. I have come to trust my collecting and allow objects to come to me during the art-making process. Many of the titles of my work come from music, books, and poetry that then guide my intention as I assemble my found objects.

As Zora Neale Hurston states, we are each "a jumble of small things priceless and worthless." We can share our experiences, our hopes and dreams, our fears and loves, through objects we collect along the way. Being a woman and of a certain age, I attempt to share my unique perspective in my work. I am resilient and have first-hand knowledge to share. In the "Blue Zones" where people live the longest, one of the characteristics that they share is a sense of purpose. I am extremely grateful for the sense of purpose my artmaking gives me.

ARTIST STATEMENT
I believe that we all experience the world in our own unique way. My paintings allow me to go on a journey and recapture experiences through different media. As I cross the bridge between thinking and feeling, I am able to enter a state of existence that revives the place, time, and all my five senses of that moment. I always go back to my reference pictures and sketches, but it is really what is in my heart that gets translated into each of my paintings.
As an immigrant Latino woman whose experience has been about relocating from a small town to a big city and then to a smaller city, I find my themes reflect cultural diversity, movement and growth. I find nature grounds me and helps me move forward in my art. My desire is to connect on a human level with the community. I envision myself growing as a painter and inspiring others to be free and to celebrate their own creativity and identity.

Cada uno de nosotros tenemos una experiencia unica sobre nuestra existencia en este mundo. Mis pinturas me permiten ir en una jornada y captar experiencias usando diferentes medio de arte. El arte me ayuda cruzar el puente entre mis pensamientos y mis emociones. Yo siempro regreso a mis fotos y dibujos como referencia, pero en realidad es lo que esta en mi corazon lo que es transmitido en mi pintura. Como una mujer latina imigrante, crezi mudandome y escondida en mi silencio, yo capto temas que reflejan diversidad cultural, movimiento y desarrollo personal.

Yo encuentro que la naturaleza me ancla/ estabiliza y me ayuda a seguir adelante en mi arte y mi vida. Hay luz en mis pinturas porque capta la esperanza que guia mi vida y mi creatividad. Mi vision es inspirar y celebrar la creatividad e identidad de nuestra comunidad.

Chris Gold, from York, PA, started painting later in life. Her informal art education was gained by taking regional professionals' workshops and classes. Gold's creative journey began when her daughter brought home a coffee mug from her school's ceramics class in 1999. The pair decided to take private lessons together and Chris discovered the joy of creating functional pieces from a lump of clay. After 15 years of occasional frustrating unfixable failures coming from her kiln, Chris wanted a new medium for her creative outlet. Gold had memories of watching, with fascination, her father paint with colorful, creamy oil paints. Assuming she had not inherited his DNA art gene, she did not pick up a brush until 2013, when in her mid-50's. Oils are now Chris's chosen medium. They allow flexibility to change a work, bringing her aesthetic to completion. Painting has become a better vehicle to express her appreciation of the strength God gives and Nature's abundant beauty.

Gold classifies herself as a representational painter, leaning into Impressionism. Now a retired women's health nurse practitioner, she has more time to devote to the canvas. This artist's creations can be seen in area galleries, as well as online social media. Her first oil painting exhibition prize was awarded in 2015. In 2022 her art was awarded best of show in a regional exhibit. Her creations have been accepted into juried exhibits through the York Art Association and shows at the York Jewish Community Center, along with other area venues. Gold is a member of Creative York and is a juried member of the Oil Painters of America. She also serves as the Gallery committee's chairperson and is a member of the Board of Directors for the York Art Association.

ARTIST BIO

Felicity Sidwell's impressionistic paintings express her delight in the colors of the landscape of the many places she has called home. From the coast of Maine to Pennsylvania farmland, from the familiar English countryside of her childhood to her travels amongst the rich red rocks of Utah and the deserts of the South West. Felicity is always finding patterns of color in her surroundings that she loves to share in her art.

Growing up in an English village, then living and working in London the move to the United States with her husband's work in 1971 was a life changing experience. For over thirty years they lived in an old farmhouse in Newtown, Connecticut where she had a studio, was active in SCAN, the Artists Guild in Newtown, participated in two artists' cooperatives, and had a number of one woman shows.

While her three boys were young Felicity painted in watercolors, she also raised sheep for their wool which she spun into yarn and sold eggs at the local food co-op from her free range chickens.

By 2000 Felicity was doing weekly summer, outdoor shows with her watercolors on Cape Cod as a member of the Eastham Painters Guild.

The move to midcoast Maine in 2006 was a definitive time in Felicity's art career, as the strength of her impressionist style developed. After many years as a watercolorist, she turned almost exclusively to oils, preferring to work outside, en Plein air, to capture the colors and special light of the coast. Of influence during this period was painting with the Plein Air Painters of Maine and the "Thursday Group" of painting friends, who gave each other critiques and support as their work and friendships evolved. For five years Felicity also ran a successful gallery where she sold her work at her summer cottage in the little fishing village of West Point, Phippsburg, ME.

On moving to Gettysburg, PA in 2016 Felicity painted and exhibited with the Susquehanna Plein Air Painters, the Mountain Valley Plein Air Painters and another Thursday Group, the Plein Air Painters of the Hanover Arts Guild and also exhibited work in Carlisle at CALC.
It was while living in Pennsylvania that she discovered the excitement of working in pastels.

After her husband's death, the Pennsylvania property became increasingly harder to take care of, so in September 2023 she made yet another move. Felicity now lives in West Bend, Wisconsin close to her youngest son, Dan and delights in the company of her two little granddaughters.

She is happy to have become a part of the Cedarburg art community where her work can be seen at the Cedarburg Cultural Center
