Paintings, Illustrations, and Broad-Scale Murals, Kip expresses his
mastery of aesthetic vision. Inspiration for his work comes from his deep

tracking our weather systems and it's functions. His love for clouds, 
storms, sunlight, precipitation, and the night sky is the foundation for his Cosmic
 fantasy  Series and Landscapes.
These elements continue to be a stimulating source for his work.
Other inspiration for his art, particularly landscapes, comes from a long
history of multiple residences across America.

Eric Feather: 11332 William Penn Road, Imler, PA 16655
Watercolor, Oil, Mixed Media
Eric Feather is a freelance artist and art instructor at Tyrone Area High School in Tyrone Pennsylvania.
Eric has exhibited and sold numerous works throughout the eastern United States.
His talents can be observed in original artworks and murals throughout central Pennsylvania.
Feather's work reflects his interest in revealing the creative process. "I generally begin with a core subject
or compositional idea and then react to it with successive strokes or applications of media.
This process involves a great deal of discovery and change as the image evolves into something not altogether planned.
It's during this cycle of making a mark, reacting to it and making another mark that many of my ideas for future
artworks begin to form. I believe that creative action and creative thought are reciprocal.

Anabel Hertzog: 1143 Poplar Street, Kulpmont, Northumberland, PA 17834
Pastels, Acrylic, Oil
I was born in the island of Puerto Rico, daughter of a single mother of 5 and moved to the United States at the age of 16, I came here with dreams of one day becoming the next Picasso. I understand that dreams come true for those who work hard and I can assure I have done just that since I came to the United States. One thing I have to say is that when I paint- I paint from my heart I allow my paintings to speak the words I can not say. My Art is my love my passion my everything.

Ashville
Heather Rininger: 333 Watt Road, Ashville, PA 16613
Heather Rininger paints professionally, full time.  Her paintings emphasize dramatic color and light.  Most often the background is done in a free nearly impressionist style while the subject is finely detailed.  This is most evident with her portraits since a detailed likeness is important to many clients.  She also paints landscapes, animals and spiritual subjects.  Her preferred materials are oils on linen panels.
Mrs. Rininger showed artistic talent at a very early age.  She won grand prize for her entry in the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts student exhibit and completed her first commissioned portrait while still in high school.  In 1984 she graduated from Penn State University with a B.S. degree.  After college, she pursued a career in engineering and project leadership.  During this time she continued to paint.  She has also been employed as a graphic artist and packaging designer.  Her art education includes the Pennsylvania Governors School for the Arts and workshops with Albert Handel and Mary Deutsch.
Mrs. Rininger is a member of the Mount Aloysius Art Alliance and regularly exhibits at the Wolf Kuhn Gallery.
