Michael Baskerville II

Literary Arts

My name is Michael Baskerville II and I’m a author. I’ve currently penned 4 books. I feel that every story that I come up with is a work of art and I’m good at gaining my reader’s attention because of how descriptive and articulate I am. My goal is to pen something that will stick with my reader and create something that will live long. Through my writing journey, I’ve been featured in 3 newspaper articles (York Daily Record). My first book release was “Thorns of a Rose: Situationships of Poetry” in 2016, followed by “Beautiful Scars” in 2018. My debut and sophomore were poetry books. My 3rd book and 1st novel “Trapped in love With a Narcissist” was released in 2020, a book I created during the pandemic that readers raved about. May 2021, I released my 2nd novel (4th book) “Survival of the Trenches”. My passion for writing came at a young age when listening to hip hop and R&B and wanting to learn how to write my own lyrics and figuring out the formula of how an artist express themselves through their craft. My passion for writing also stems from watching movies and creating my own visuals in my head to write down a great story. I always write unapologetically but it always comes from the heart. As a writer, it’s inevitable that you’ll be judged but the words that I pen down are my savior.

“The process of making art gives me a tool to convey my authentic work in this world. It awakens my senses to the beauty and possibilities that life offers. In all aspects of my life and career, creative problem solving has been the essence of my inspiration. Creating Art is an innate expression, a spiritual connection and an essential commission that renews me. I create art that reflects the light, the spirit and the beauty of Life”

Reagan Bitler

Specializes in working with and creating art from dried gourds.

Bitler’s work stems from an appetency for nature and cultivates his attraction to shape, color and texture. Simplistic forms become transformed through his use of dark line pyrography, the intricate cut-out of negative space and the application of vibrant colors, leaving the admirer with a tribute to nature’s beauty. Bitler’s exploration with raw gourds as a canvas and his honing of the skills and processes of crafting them into works of art has spanned over more than a decade.

Bonita Bollinger

Visual Arts: Painting

Nature inspires me and keeps me painting. I paint wild and domestic animals because I love them. But I do love my family, too. I am primarily self-taught. I learned the basics in high school, but I “discovered” my niche accidentally in 1996. I was in Ecuador for a semester of college. Before I left, I tossed in some paints and paper in my suitcase just in case I had time to paint. Happily I found that I had almost every weekend free, but I also found that I had packed watercolors and canvas paper. So I worked with what I had. I developed my own technique and style. I continue to love working with watercolors on canvas!

Carrington Boyd

Graphic Arts; Visual Arts: Glasswork, Graphic Arts, Illustration, Media and Visual Communications

I have an associates in visual communications and I’m aspiring to become an illustrator. I currently draw a lot, I try to fill sketchbooks as much as a can. Sometimes they’re full on pieces and sometimes they’re just merely doodles. I like to describe my work as fun and cute. Though when I started drawing in middle school it was quite the opposite. I grew up with a lot of troubles and insecurities and I feel like that showed then in my work, but now I feel like I’ve kind of moved passed that and now I draw a lot of things that make me and other people happy. I would say my style itself is cartoon-y, expressive, and cuddly! I enjoy drawing animals, anthro-type animals, and creatures I’ve made up. Some of the pieces I have posted are from my sketchbook or projects that I’ve done the past year or so! I hope you enjoy! Thanks for taking the time to read my little blurb.

Robert E. Buchanan

Visual Arts: Painting, Works on paper

I taught illustration for over 30 years at the Art Institute of York. I spend almost every day creating and thinking about art. Now with limited income, I try to produce ink drawings of faces and figures influenced by ancient times. I love watercolor and oil also. At 74, I work hard and usually have plenty of energy to produce. I love drawing and generate ideas through my many sketchbooks. My goal is to show fresh and unusual visions from every day images.I like to jolt the viewer and come up with drama and chiaroscuro in my work. I work with classical music and look to Hieronymus Bosch as my muse. Working in ink, I build form in a method similar to weaving. Robert E.
