My recent series of works have acted as an exploration of religious narratives I remember from my childhood. Though not a religious man now I have been attempting to to reconnect and reconfigure some sort relationship I once felt for these stories, be it one that coincides with the morals I now have as an adult. The large scale mixed media paintings are all abstract reimaginings of biblical stories. I sought to express these near flawless individuals as being more “human”. I wanted show a more relatable narratives than the ones I had grown accustomed to hearing.

Carol Oldenburg

Visual Arts: Mixed Media, Murals, Painting, Visual Arts Instructor, Works on paper

Carol Oldenburg is a mid-career artist living and working in York, PA. Having made up her mind in first grade to become an artist, Carol went on to doggedly pursue a career as a portrait artist and later as landscape painter. No matter the subject she finds the challenge of depicting it in a way that will intrigue the viewer a worthy passion. Carol received her BFA from Kutztown University in an age when conceptualism was touted and drawing the figure was the exception. Never one to run with the crowd, she embraced figure drawing and drawing in general as an avenue of learning. It wasn’t until her 40’s that painting moved to the forefront of her art expression. There is a great variety in subject matter in Carol’s paintings and yet they are all distinctly recognized as hers. “A face, a landscape, a garden or a flower; it is all about light, shape and color. Beauty can be seen and depicted in a painting of anything.” Carol has exhibited her paintings widely throughout the United States and has won numerous awards for both drawing and painting. Her work as been displayed in Togo, Africa as part of the Art in the Embassies Program. Being part of the program led to both a White House and State Department invitation to celebrate the 40th Anniversary. She works out of OMG STUDIOS in downtown York. Being downtown has allowed Carol and the OMG artists to engage the community through studio tours and classes held at the studio and in collaboration with local businesses.

I always loved the printed word and loved to draw. I had taken calligraphy classes locally and it was joyous to me; so I started to develop a line of calligraphy note cards. But they needed something in order to have some pizzazz. I saw a design that had a pressed flower and oh yay, I thought; I can do so much with that. Having studied botany in pharmacy school, an interest in plants and flowers was present; so it was a natural to identify and work with these wonderful flowers that I had pressed. My business, QuilliGraphy was started in 1997 and I had developed over 100 designs which I wholesaled and sold on line on my website. Presently I have 160+ designs. QuilliGraphy's mission is to use natural materials to create art that stimulates the mind, validates the spirit, and celebrates the universe. It celebrates life and beauty. QuilliGraphy is a socially conscious business, contributing to local art, local events, libraries and breast cancer research and greyhound rescue and the American Association of University Women.

Kelly Overmiller

Visual Arts: Crafts, Illustration, Jewelry, Sculpture, Works on paper

I am a designer, illustrator and animal enthusiast from South Central Pennsylvania, that prefers using paper as my medium. I enjoy working with paper because it is something most people encounter as an everyday object and I want to try and turn that object into something unique and amazing. I create clean, beautiful, detail oriented, and sometimes humorous pieces of work, that just wants to make the world a more interesting place to live. I love what I am doing and hopefully that shows in my work.
