Our Gallery Wall Artists bring together diverse artistic expressions, each resonating with a unique voice and deeply personal vision.

Julio Cesar Cepeda Durque’s series, Comfabulation, reveals the complexity of Cuban life through expressive drawings that layer social critique with symbolic imagery. His use of recurring motifs, such as the turtle, captures the stagnation and resilience of his homeland. Through stark depictions of isolation, forced migration, and control, Julio Cesar explores themes of identity, resilience, and the cost of freedom, shedding light on the realities faced by the Cuban people.

Elizabeth A. Pituch captures fleeting moments that evoke a “heartbeat of heaven” through her deeply reflective paintings. Using color, form, and movement, her works convey a sense of both the extraordinary and the everyday, hinting at something greater than ourselves. Elizabeth draws on her life experiences and meditative practices, hoping to evoke a sense of peace, wonder, and shared humanity in each viewer.

Diann Cardello’s vibrant mixed-media creations pulse with energy, light, and texture. Her work is an intuitive exploration, guided by her experiences with Reiki and Sound Therapy. In her hands, painting becomes a meditative journaling practice—a visual record of her inner life. Diann’s pieces, which have been displayed in galleries and juried shows, invite viewers to witness the intimate conversation between the artist and the divine.

Summre Inama-Patricella’s ceramic works celebrate the tactile beauty of clay, inspired by her love for nature and her background in graphic design. Each piece combines the raw, earthy qualities of her materials with glossy, intricate glazes, creating a dialogue between form and function. Summre’s ceramics are not merely objects; they are expressions of her connection to the natural world and her journey as an artist.

This exhibition offers a profound journey through themes of identity, connection, and transformation. Come and witness how these artists translate personal experiences into powerful visual narratives that echo with emotion and insight.

Lancaster Art Vault celebrates 150 Years of the Impressionist Movement with Christiane David.

In 1874, a revolutionary moment in art history took place in the Paris studio of Nadar. Thirty-one trailblazing artists, including Monet, Renoir, Degas, Morisot, Pissarro, Sisley, and Cezanne, united to present their work in an independent exhibition—an audacious response to their rejection by the official Paris Salon. This event marked the birth of Impressionism, a movement that forever changed the art world.

Driven by a desire to break free from the constraints of academic studio painting, these artists began to explore new avenues of expression. Embracing the latest innovations, such as portable oil paints, they ventured outdoors to capture spontaneous “on-the-spot” impressions of everyday life. Through their use of delicate, visible brushstrokes, unusual visual angles and unique perspectives, they depicted movement and the passage of time through the changing qualities of light.  Through these new technologies and advancements, they earned their title as the Masters of Light.

Christiane David retraced the steps of these iconic pioneers, visiting those iconic landmarks of the impressionist movement. Her journey through Normandy wasv filled with painting, sketching, and visiting exhibitions at landmarks central to the Impressionist legacy. The adventure also included stops in Bruges, Ghent, and Brussels, where they will gather inspiration and treasures.

In this exhibit, Christiane David showcases the fruits of this creative pilgrimage at the Lancaster Art Vault. The exhibition features many of her Plein Air artworks created during this trip, as well as earlier pieces, photographs, and live demonstrations.

We warmly invite you to view this extraordinary celebration of Impressionism and artistic exploration by Christiane David.

Tim Ellis, Al Moretti, and Dane Tilghman are renowned for their captivating paintings that depict the icons and atmosphere of jazz, roots, and blues music. Their work showcases the deep emotional connections and historical significance of these musical genres through dynamic compositions, vivid colors, and expressive brushstrokes.

Sculptor Aubrey Maurer complements these paintings with stunning abstract ceramic sculptures.

Inspired by nature, organic forms, and modernist design, Aubrey's sculptures highlight the beauty of imperfection and our innate kinship with the natural environment.
