Sam Halterman

I have been making art my entire life, but it wasn’t until high school that I realized it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I attended Pennsylvania College of Art & Design and graduated with a BFA in illustration in 2017. Since then my art has been changing and developing into what it is now. I love painting and drawing anything botanical (especially mushrooms) and creating surreal illustrations. I love making art accessible. Aside from having prints and originals, I also love making stickers and other smaller pieces (like keychains, magnets, and pins) as well as handmade sketchbooks with hand painted covers! Creativity is such a huge and important part of my life, and I want to share it with the world!

I dream big, I love hard, I believe in people, I am insatiably curious. My filmmaking career is difficult to summarize. I’ve worked on nearly 100 narrative film projects and approaching 300 corporate and commercial videos. The nature of my work has spanned from being a Production Assistant on student films to producing and directing feature films for international distribution. Filmmaking is a team sport, and I am in love with he process of creating and telling stories as part of a team. Whether I am directing the project, setting up the lighting, or performing as an actor, the thing I love most is collaborating with people that I know, like, and respect with the goal of creating something bigger than any of us could have created on our own.

Scott Higgins

Visual Arts: Illustration, Visual Arts; Charcoal

I’m a York PA based artist who grew up in Lancaster and have been an artist practically my entire life. When I was seven years old I remember my first drawing being put on the refrigerator (it was a race car speeding to the finish line!) I felt so proud and that is the exact moment when my art career began. I find daily inspiration in my pets and how they make me feel. I attended the Pennsylvania College of Art and Design in Lancaster and majored in Illustration. This is the first place where I was introduced to Vine Charcoal, my preferred medium. I regularly participates in art markets in York and Lancaster where I sells prints of my work as well as original pieces. I’ve participated in several group shows at Mulberry Art Studios where I was awarded Best in Show in 2019 and 2020. I was also featured at Mulberry Art Studio in a solo exhibit in December of 2019.

Steph Holmes

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Painting, Visual Arts

I make art about empathy. There is little difference between the miraculous structures of our lungs, lungs which move every few seconds to pull life-giving oxygen into our bodies, and the systems that keep a tiny beetle living and breathing. The beetle’s life is fragile, like our own. The joy it feels is real joy and the suffering it feels is real suffering. In fact, everything feels fresh and fragile and full of stories, and this sense of empathy is poured into everything I create. York Crafted Presentation: Art and Exploring the Self

Penelope Hornock

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, Painting, Visual Arts, Visual Arts Instructor

I am a painter whose work focuses upon the landscapes of paths travelled by location and interpretation. Important to my work is how light evidences form by its revelation of surface qualities in layers. My joy is sharing the experiences of observation , location and cross cultural contexts in the places where I travel. I endeavor to use formal qualities of observation to express myself in the visual language and medium of my choice.
