Alexa Hall
Alexa is a portrait artist who primarily works in dry mediums such as charcoal and chalk pastels. Most of her work leans toward realism, though she also enjoys experimenting with a loose, gestural style.
DRVLE is a Lancaster, PA–based digital illustrator, photographer, and filmmaker. Specializing in monster, furry, and creature art, he often works in Procreate and occasionally paints. He also illustrates anthropomorphic characters and has professional experience as a video editor, videographer, assistant camera, director of photography, grip, and motion graphics animator.
Ein is a student at the Maryland Institute College of Art who works primarily with water‑mixable oil paints. They also create with acrylic, ink, and digital media, exploring a range of techniques across traditional and contemporary forms.
Jenni Buffington creates instinctive, soul-driven art that blurs reality and dream, often using found objects to build layered, story-rich pieces. Her work invites dialogue, healing, and second glances—chaotic yet carefully composed. Known for vending in-person throughout the seasons, Jenni embraces the unpredictable and the unusual, crafting each piece from the heart with no plan, just feeling.
John uses art as a way to slow his mind and get lost in light, color, and water. He’s drawn to the way light shifts across a surface and how water is always moving but never the same, and those moments guide his work. He paints with acrylic markers, building layered color that stays crisp while still feeling loose and alive. His process balances control with spontaneity, creating pieces that feel calm, emotional, and familiar, inviting viewers to pause and notice the beauty in everyday moments.
Julie, born in Anhui and raised in Shanghai, now based in the U.S., paints primarily in acrylics and alla prima. Guided by intuition, her work is threaded with blue—a constant source of comfort and identity. Each piece reflects her curiosity and love of exploration. She is currently pursuing a BFA in Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art.
Katie is a fearless creator who transforms anything into art, driven by a mission to make the world more beautiful and whimsical—one delightfully weird piece at a time.
Award-winning Plein air painter and portraitist, Kristin explores the nature of observation and transformation in traditional drawing and oil and watercolor painting as well as abstract explorations in healing in ink. Her Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) name is Ganä:gah:is, One Who Splashes Water, and her Native heritage informs how she views the world and tells its stories. Her work has been exhibited or lives in appreciative galleries, homes, museums and literary magazines in the US and internationally. She studied art at Connecticut College and at the Bridgeview School in NYC and is a resident artist at the Lancaster Art Vault.
