Meet featured Artist Kyle

Meet artist Kyle Stauffer, a featured artist at Gallery 141. Kyle's paintings will be on display and for sale at the gallery for the month of March. Kyle is a local Lancaster, PA artist who takes a surrealistic view on local landscapes. Kyle's exhibit is "Take the Hike Home."

The simplicity and complexity of natural line and color is captured on canvas and acrylic. His use of color is striking...my photos don't do these pieces justice!

Meet Jacques Abreu

Meet Jacques Abreu, one of this month's featured artists at Gallery 141. His faith inspired paintings will be on display, and available for sale, at Gallery 141 all month. Jacques has extensive experience in drama and performing arts. Though hard to believe when you see the detail and intricacy of his work, painting is a new found passion Jacques discovered only 2 years ago.

Jacques is an instructor at The Chabod Academy Of The Arts. "His adventure in the arts started at a young age while traveling around the world. At 14 he went on his first mission trip to Chile and found that people responded to the arts. Returning to Chile the following year, he was with a team that focused on drama. Jacques has sung in “Grease” and played different leading roles in “Joseph and the Technicolored Dream Coat,” “Celebrate,” and “David.” Jacques’ passion is to powerfully impact people’s lives with drama and use the arts to help spread the message of God’s love."

Our feature Artists for First Friday & the Month of March include paintings by Jacques Abreu and Beaded Jewelry by Megan McDonald. Both artists are full of life and creative energy that is contagious when you see their work!!

Jacque's faith inspired paintings are full of color, life, and and uplifting energy that is so inspiring! You can't help but be drawn into them, and feel his passion for life when you see his work! Megan's handmade beaded jewelry beckons you to wear it... she has a keen sense of color, textures, and functionality that makes her pieces irresistible.
