We’re proud to feature work by Warwick School District art students from grades 10-12 in our C.H. Walton gallery. These student works are from a variety of classes including Foundations of Printmaking, Foundations of Painting, Advanced Placement Art, and Essentials of Art.

Works by Lancaster County artist, Jonathan Buch are on display through mid-November in the C.H. Walton Gallery. The themes of solitude and tranquility can often be found in his watercolor paintings and offer a perfect counterpoint to our typically busy life. His work reminds all of us to take time to slow down and enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. You can see more of Jonathan’s work at jonathanbuch.com.

Right now, Whispering Creek Studios‘ vibrant, whimsical interpretations of Lancaster County life are brightening the gallery. Lynn M. Hocker, the artist behind the easel, previously expressed his artistic abilities through woodcrafts and furniture building but after shoulder surgery turned to painting. Thank you, Lynn, for sharing your work with us!

Acrylic paintings by Lancaster artist, interior designer and former RLPSer Lauren Jean Rice are currently on display in the C.H. Walton Gallery. Lauren is a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design and recently began painting again, studying color and texture. Her brightly colored works are filled with abstracts and interpretations of nature, landscapes and human figures. You can find more of her work on Instagram at laurenjean_design.

Belgium-born artist turned Lancaster local Christiane David’s artworks are featured once more in our CH Walton Gallery. Her vibrant paintings typically feature still life scenes, nature, animals, abstracts, and sometimes people in bold strokes of color and rich textures. They’re a perfect remedy for dreary winter days!

Her artwork—and often Christiane herself—can be found at her gallery on Gallery Row in Downtown Lancaster or her website at christianedavid.com.

Born in York, PA and currently residing in Lititz, PA, Steve Ember is a local artist who tells stories through photographs. He focuses primarily on nature, and is comfortable shooting both colorful and monochromatic subjects as needed to help his narrative. “It is very satisfying to me when someone who views my images can see the story I saw through my lens,” Steve says.

Steve does all of his own printing, and dresses his photography in handmade frames from Maine. He is proud to say that his prints should last over two hundred years, but welcomes you to contact him if there is a problem after that.

You can find out more about Steve and his prints by going to his website or Facebook page.

Shannon Plourde’s paintings are featured in the CH Walton Gallery until early September. You can view her work in our gallery or see additional work on her Instagram page: www.instragram.com/shannon_plourde. 

Our C.H. Walton Gallery currently features oil paintings by Kerry Sacco. Ms. Sacco graduated from Millersville University and a subsequent move back to Philadelphia and enrollment in the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts led to her rediscovery of oil paintings. She currently resides in Lancaster, PA and exhibits throughout the area. She also runs a children’s art camp each summer in Chester County. To see more of Kerry Sacco’s work visit www.kerrysacco.com.

We’re happy to welcome Beth Kaylor Brunner to our CH Walton gallery. Her lively acrylic works combine her love of gardening and art in a delightful way. Beth might be familiar to some of you after her 20-plus years teaching art at Warwick School District. If you happen to be in our office over the next few months, please take a look. You can also see more of her work and read her blog on her website.

We are currently featuring the work of local artist, David Haneman, who specializes in intricate pen and ink drawings. Mr. Haneman resides in Marietta, Pennsylvania, not far from our office on the Susquehanna River. Many of his works have an architectural theme and feature local buildings, train stations, steam engines, or animals. To see more of his work, visit his website or stop in the CH Walton Gallery the next time you are in the RLPS office.
