Award winning reclaimed sculpture artist Jason Lyons creates in his Harrisburg, PA studio.

"I am a full time artist focusing on Found Object creation,  mainly creating from reclaimed objects."  Jason’s inspiration for his art starts with discarded man-made objects. They guide his hands toward sculpting, reinterpreted to form objects found in nature.  See Bob's Art Blog about Jason here:  https://theburgnews.com/culture/bobs-art-blog-lyons-and-tigers-and-bears-oh-my

Lynn Shirk of  Hummelstown, PA  has be fascinated by the patterns and colors that exist in nature. The spiral of a nautilus shell and the iridescence of butterfly wings are two sources of her inspiration that can be observed in her work. As a Dichroic Glass and Hammered Copper Jewelry artist she creates unique jewelry pieces. Her new hammered copper and spiral pieces are stunning!

Multi-talented, Jana MacGinnes of Harrisburg, PA brings her love of botanicals and creativity to the Gift Shop.   "I love to cook and seldom use recipes.

Salt is precious. It re-mineralizes our body and can change the taste of food from good to excellent. So I began to search for the best salts and freshest herbs that were of high quality and had consistency in taste, texture and natural coloring."

Packaged in glass test tubes ensures freshness. 

Jana also creates wonderful botanical soaps which are featured in the gallery.

Jan Lipensky, of Annville, PA  has been honing her skills in the art of glass fusing since  2011.  Her passion began by utilizing the magnificent colors that are available in dichroic and art glass, creating one-of-a-kind pieces of fused glass jewelry.  Her newest creations of three-dimensional layered flowers and huge butterflies are truly statement pieces. Love and attention is given to each and every glass piece that she designs.

Patrice White hails from Middletown, PA.  “Glass, crystals, natural stone, copper and stainless steel are the mediums I enjoy working with.  I take inspiration from color, textures and from nature.”

Patrice is a combination of caretaker, kind spirit, nature lover, disco ball and rainbows all rolled into one. We love her work and hope you do too!

Joan Maguire's love of essential oils,  natural skin care products and experimenting with recipes led to creating these artful apothecary products which were sold at the Harrisburg Millworks for many years.  The line features bath soaks , sugar scrubs & lavender sachets.

 New to the Gallery is Emily Bidlingmeyer who does stunning Raku pottery.

 "I've spent my life searching for my creative outlet. I signed up for an  8-week pottery class in 2021 and just kept going. I can't imagine life  without it. Most of my work is wheel thrown and fired in an electric  kiln.

In 2023 I took a Raku workshop.  In Raku, pieces are  pulled from the kiln while still red hot and cooled rapidly.  After a  process that takes weeks of preparation, the pottery transforms  relatively quickly in the Raku firing. The process is amazing, the  resulting pottery is the icing on the cake."

We welcome Emily as our new creator!
