  • Peter Danko
    Peter Danko
    Visual Arts: Crafts, Functional and/or Decorative, Painting, Works on paper; woodworking, plastic, and metals
    I have a small shop and make my living designing and making furniture and cabinetry. I also draw musicians and paint, mostly the figure.  My life is devoted to the pursuit of beauty. My designs, like art, has content and meaning beyond simple look and style. They explore the esthetics of recycled and repurposed materials. In terms of sustainability, my designs are orders of magnitude beyond anything you would have in your home. The materials and the way they are used are unfamiliar. Don’t misunderstand, a great majority of people appreciate my designs.  They congratulate me for my vision. Yet because it lacks familiarity, few people actually buy my work. The odd thing about this is my work performs as well or better functionally. My chairs are comfortable, my cabinets easer to clean. My designs are long lasting and user friendly. They are the next logical step to provide comfortable and attractive utility in a world of Billions without crashing the environment.  I draw mostly musicians; very fast and free. The line work describes the energy of the music and the movement of the musicians. My drawings also capture the likeness and spirit of the musicians.  I paint mostly people, portraits and the whole figure. My personal challenge is to capture the spirit of the subject in just a few hours. I love color and its magic to bring out the personality of the subject.

  • Lizz Dawson
    Lizz Dawson
    Literary Arts
    A writer with humble beginnings at my grandmother’s kitchen table in York, PA, I was determined to differentiate myself from a lineage of horse farmers and Harley Davidson factory-workers. Ambitious, lavish, and sensitive—seemingly nothing like my small-town, rural family—I felt the book I knew I would write beat like a second heart inside me. But more powerful was an undercurrent of obsession, an insatiable longing born of the alcoholic tumult of my upbringing. By the age of twelve, I was swept up into dark, drug-infested basements—an intoxicating carousel of endless parties, flashing red-and-blue lights, early deaths, and reckless relationships. It was there, though, where I felt, at last, like I belonged—and there, too, where I recognized I was more like my family than I’d ever imagined.  After an arduous journey into sobriety, I attained a BA at York College and later moved to NYC to attain my MFA in creative nonfiction where I worked on a book. Atriums, Arteries, + Other Family-Sized Holes is a coming-of-age, lyrical memoir about family, addiction, and coming home. It’s a multigenerational story of mothers and daughters, fathers and lovers, enmeshment between sisters, and the nuances of struggle of loyalty to a family of origin with conflicting ideologies. My work is inspired by the beauty of the ordinary moment, vulnerable confession, + magical realism. My work is both a testimony to second chance + a love note to home. When not writing, you can find me teaching in York.

    Performing Arts: Storytelling, Theatre
    COMMUNITY DRAMATURG: I have worked in many facets of the arts —an Equity actor, teaching artist, designer, playwright, deviser, high school teacher, college professor, podcast-creator and more. But in everything I do, I dive into the community, providing time and space to share their stories and then turn it into art. During a tumultuous childhood, I found solace in the therapeutic nature of theatre. It provided critical skills, a mode of expression, and a safe community at a time when I needed it. I aim to provide and curate similar opportunities for area creatives to learn more about their community and ultimately themselves. When I was hired to be Artistic Director of DreamWrights, it was imperative to learn about the community I was charged to serve so I devised the IF YOU KNEW YORK project. To immediately immerse myself in the community I conducted 100 interviews throughout the city. Next I engaged York College Chair, Suzanne Delle, to direct the premiere production in August ’23. This is one of several docudramas I have created: SILHOUETTES OF SERVICE at UNC Chapel Hill, BOYSPEAK with Mike Wiley at Bucks County Playhouse. With Boys Latin Charter School of Philadelphia we created the pieces KILLADELPHIA and PHLash: A MOB STORY. My creative work is a practice in collaborative artistry, innovation, and forging community at the times we need it most. I hope to provide the haven that artistry provided for me to create a more just, vibrant and empathetic world.

  • Curtis Doll

    Multi Arts; Visual Arts: Glasswork, Mixed Media, Painting, Photography, Printmaking, Works on paper; Monumental Architectural/Liturgical Stained Glass Design
    Curtis is a 1977 honor graduate of Fine Art from the York Academy of Arts majoring in painting. In 1997 enrolled at Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts to learn the computer as a design tool. Acquired an Associate Degree in Advanced Technology for Advanced Digital Design and was inducted into the ALPHA BETA KAPPA National Honor Society. Founded CurtisGraphics Design Services on 09/02/1999 – on 04/25/2008 incorporated to become CurtisGraphics Corporation. In 1979 began work at Linauts Stained Glass Studio in Reading Pennsylvania. I have since designed and produced many monumental Architectural Stained Glass projects across the US. From start to finish; meeting with the client, determining the course of the Architectural Glass Design, producing the scaled transparent Lumiére design – after approval, creating the full-size drawing, transferring onto pattern paper and cutting the patterns, selecting the color and texture of the glass, cutting the glass – acid etching – painting – staining the glass if necessary, and overseeing the project to its conclusion. In 1987 was published in Stained Glass Quarterly for six monumental stained glass windows I designed for Tifereth Israel using the Six Orders of the Mishna as the theme which can be viewed at http://www.curtisgraphics.com/asg/ The seventh window in the Historical Alcove in Tifereth Israel was used as the cover art on “This House We Build” – (Lessons for Healthy Synagogues and People Who Dwell There) – http://www.curtisgraphics.com/j_historical.html A beautiful hardcover booklet describing and illustrating the 17 windows residing in the Simpsonville United Methodist Church – (Simpsonville South Carolina) by Linda Pendergrass was published in 2013 and can be viewed at http://www.curtisgraphics.com/smpsnvll/ A poem entitled “The Lark Ascending” was published in the 2002 International Library of Poetry Anthology titled “The Solace of Night”, by Watermark Press, One Poetry Plaza, Owings Mills, MD – http://www.curtisgraphics.com/thelarkascending.html Created 553 designs for door, side-lite, and transom beveled glass – pdf Book of Designs for MIKA International in 1999 can be downloaded at http://www.curtisgraphicscorp.com/crystal_beveled_art_glass.html In the summer of 1999, I created my business website, curtisgraphics.com. Shortly after that, I founded CurtisGraphics Design Services on 09/02/1999 – on 04/25/2008 I incorporated to become CurtisGraphics Corporation. During the 1980s my parents told me I would need to one day learn how to use the computer. I asked them, why? I’m an artist. I use paint, canvas, paper, glass. Why on earth would I ever need to learn how to use the computer? In 1997 I enrolled at Bradley Academy for the Visual Arts to do just that. I was inducted into the ALPHA BETA KAPPA National Honor Society. I learned the quality of art produced with the computer is only as good as my traditional abilities with color, design and composition, and draftsmanship. Yes, it takes just as much dexterity to produce a work of art with a mouse as it takes with a pencil or paintbrush. In point of fact, it is more difficult to master the mouse as a drawing/painting instrument. And it takes a whole lot more technical knowledge to create with a computer. Through Facebook, I became acquainted with the online art community and have joined and have taken an active role in posting my artworks on cybercultures, groups, and online galleries. I have recently been accepted by Singulart, singulart.com, an international online gallery of some renown that sells art to a worldwide audience.

    Jennifer Dorman
    Visual Arts: Illustration, Mixed Media, Painting
    I’m a chronically ill, but always chronically chill self-taught traditional artist, occasionally dabbling with digital. Watercolour is my primary medium, but I’ll use just about anything to get the job done.  I love all things grotesque and beautiful, whimsical and edgy.  As of late though, I’ve discovered the joys of vibrant colours and seeing just how obnoxiously colourful I can be with my art especially with the colour pink. I’ve been making art since I was a child, but in 2017 I started taking my art more seriously and began streaming my work live on Twitch.  I realized that my illness could take away my ability to create everything I had yet to create and honestly?  That’s pretty bogus.  Depression and anxiety had already taken so much time away from me, the sheer audacity of it all was the kick start I needed to keep moving forward. Fast forward, I’ve formed an amazing creative community and have grown so much as not only an artist, but as a person. My goal is to be an unstoppable and positive force of nature in this world and through art, I’ll do just that.

  • Michael Dugger
    Michael Dugger
    Visual Arts: Mixed Media
    Southern Pennsylvania based artist Michael W. Dugger has been exploring his artistic narrative through the intentional manipulation of surface by meticulously layering and mechanically removing layers to reveal his surfaces. His professional work as a firefighter and paramedic for almost 20 years informs his painting in the subject of trauma and how “We” as a community interface with traumatic events, and how we either get stopped by them or gracefully move through them. Michael refers to much of his work as “reduction painting” a technique that he has created that is both constructive as well as destructive in creation, but formational in its purpose. This “push and pull” concept of imagery leads the viewer on a journey through his work and subject matter, not only to explore themselves but to deeply internalize on a personal level. Michaels work is designed to be engaged, loved and hated at the same time. Narrative is the intention. The end goal of Michael’s process is like seeing a lone billboard in decay, multiple torn layers and ghost like remnants. It tells a story, It shows a beauty, it evokes a response.
