Jessica Lee

Visual Arts: Constructions/Collage, Mixed Media, Painting, Printmaking, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper

My work celebrates the artist’s hand in our sterile, flat screen-obsessed world. Jessica Lee is a graduate of York College of Pennsylvania where she received her BA in Fine Art with a minor in art history. She is a member of the King’s Courtyard Artist Collective and exhibits her work at their gallery at 124 East King Street, York. She has also been a featured artist at i-ronic, Small Star Art House, York Blue Moon, Gallery @227, and the York Art Association’s Sally Little Danyo Members’ Sales Gallery. Her abstract work has been exhibited at NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, MD, and at the Art Science Gallery in Austin, Texas. She has participated in group and juried exhibitions at the York Art Association, Creative York, The Maryland Federation of Art, and more. Lee focuses on textures, lines, shapes and what she refers to as “surface depth.” A sentiment that has held much personal meaning for her is in the Niche quote, “There are no beautiful surfaces without a great and terrible depth.” Using this as a metaphor for her own personal struggles and triumphs, Lee typically flattens the picture plane and creates instead a depth to her surfaces through translucent layers. “Living with a mental illness and raising a son on the autism spectrum, much of my more personal and serious work expresses these challenges and raw emotions. I work intuitively to create an abstract visual language rich with mark-making, symbolic use of color, and infusing the work with intention.”

Leah Limpert Walt

Visual Arts: Painting, Works on paper

My artistic explorations through imagery almost always begin with reflections on both external and internal landscapes. They’re honest evaluations of trauma, mental health, and philosophical ponderings on purpose, meaning and the mysticism tied to those facets. They are the results of a constant effort towards healing, understanding self, and placement of self in the physical world. The self portrait is a common reoccurrence in my work because of my open evaluation of personal experience. I study realism and landscape because of the rigor of nature, the skill and meditation needed to mimic it, and for the settings that envelope the moments in our lives. I practice surrealism because the psyche is a prism that these environments are filtered through. They’re taken in, fanned out and revealed, then refocused and projected through the lens of ourselves. Our perspectives. I question “What does it look like after the experience of life?” and “What are the moments when the nature of things needs no more a spectrum than what is there?” The correspondence between silent admiration in the present and the thoughtful reflection on those moments stirs up the content of my work. Sometimes the thoughtful is rooted in the psyche, composed of symbols of the natural rather than the physical places as they are observed optically. Instead, the fragmented spectrum that’s filtered through the fractured self. Naturally, those fractals consist of both the shadow and the light.

Carla Long

Visual Arts: Photography, Visual Arts Instructor

Life has taught me it is anything but neat and tidy with a shiny bow. It is full of curveballs, obstacles, mountains to climb. In the middle of all that mess is people. Connections. Authentic, real, and raw relationships. Sure, sometimes those connections and relationships are the difficulties of our lives; marriage and parenting have shown me that. Life didn’t come with a pause button, allowing me to navigate or fix the mess, then hit play and go back to the picture-perfect. Navigating the chaos is my journey. It is through the lens of imperfections I see beauty. My story is beautiful, not despite its imperfections, but because of them. My journey is the Life. Capturing that life through a lens, helps me process the mess. A kitchen table is where so many journeys begin. It is the birthplace of my story as a teaching artist. I began teaching amateur photographers in 2015 at kitchen tables. My love for teaching has grown since becoming a teaching artist. As a teaching artist, I am passionate about the connections of interdisciplinary education. Using a creative medium to teach a concept that students might otherwise struggle with or find boring is the motivation to write the curriculum and think outside the box when it comes to educating our children and adults. As a documentary photojournalist, I pick personality over perfection. My desire in every session is to make pictures that tell a portion of the client’s story. In my portrait work, I spend time with the client

Do you love positive vibes or relatable music to listen to? I am a songwriter/singer who has been working on a project for the past half a year and I am hoping to complete my project by the end of this year! I love creating feel good music or motivational songs that are personal to the audience. I am hoping to touch hearts through the words I sing and that I can share apart of my love of music I’ve had since I could remember !
