Ivy Rodgers

I am a local, York-City based fine artist, illustrator, and writer. I graduated in 2018 from York College of Pennsylvania with honors. I have done freelance work for Paco’s Tacos, The Cantina, Redeux Vintage Marketplace, York Day Nursery, The Parliament Arts Organization, The Grotto Community Center, York City Pretzel Company, LUMI Creative, Older & Wiser Co, as well as many others. I have worked with numerous local organizations including working with Crispus Attucks Senior Day Center and local residential care facilities to provide multidisciplinary arts projects to aging and disabled peoples in our community through Creative York’s Creative Aging program.

I frequently do public speaking at different events- most regularly I share my work and process with young people. I have worked with local organizations including York County Alliance For Learning, Valley Youth House, York County Libraries, Creative York, among others.

I am an arts-based instructor teaching classes, workshops, and summer camps at Dreamwrights Center for Community Arts and the York Art Association, previously at Creative York.  I have been working as a full-time freelance artist and writer since June of 2022. I am currently the Interim Gallery Director for York College through November 2023.

I love all things York, and love to see our home flourish with arts, culture, and strengthening community. I’m a vegan who advocates for equity, inclusivity, and transparency. I live in York City with my best friend and husband Sean.
