Artist Row Featured Artists: Light and dark images play in the photography and digital illustrations of Christa Stein, PA College of Art and Design graduate (www.frontiernet.net/~casystudios) , in contrast with the brightly colored pastels and watercolors of L M Bolger, returning for her second show at the LCDC Underground. Music provided by Silver, Wood & Ivory (www.SilverWoodandIvory.com). 5-8 pm Chad Buffington Exhibit at the “Underground”
Watercolors flow with ease from the brush of Chad Buffington, a self-taught artist adept in multiple media. His faithfully-rendered portraits have made him a favorite with local institutions for commissioned work that graces their walls. His portrait of Pennsylvania Academy of Music Founders Frances Veri and Michael Jamanis will soon be on permanent display in the new Pennsylvania Academy of Music Building in downtown Lancaster.

Wank Collection of Political Memorabilia Political activism runs in the Wank family. Solomon Wank, Lewis Audenreid Professor of History Emeritus, Franklin & Marshall College, and his artist wife Barbara, have been marching for peace and campaigning for their favorite candidates for decades. In 1972, Barbara coordinated the Lancaster office for presidential candidate George McGovern. When McGovern lost to Richard Nixon, she was stuck with all the leftover signs and bumper stickers that no longer had immediate utility. She gave them to her student son, David. And thus began David Wank’s years-long obsession for accumulating political buttons, posters, bumper stickers, and the odd Jimmy Carter knit ski cap, from campaigns both local and national. Even after David became Dr. David Wank, Professor of Sociology at Japan’s Sophia University, Sol and Barbara continued to toss discarded buttons and such into the substantial pile their son had left in their attic. The Wank house on Walnut Street now has a “sold” sign in the front yard and the Wanks are downsizing to a newly constructed apartment building in Downtown Lancaster where there is no room for such indulgences. With their son’s blessing, they have generously donated his collection of both Democratic and Republican political items to the Lancaster County Democratic Committee. It will be on display for the public at Democratic headquarters, 53 N. Duke St., upstairs in Suite 218, this coming First Friday, February 1, from 5pm to 8pm. Light refreshments will be served. Please visit www.lancasterarts.com to learn more about Downtown Lancaster’s new tradition of First Friday celebrations and for a listing of all exhibitors for February’s event. For more information about the Lancaster Dems’ First Friday series of events, call Lois Herr at 717-371-5721 (cell) or 717-299-5701 (office), or email lcdc@epix.net.

Buffington's art is
inviting at a distance. The viewer eventually realizes that the
picture is not a photograph but a painting. The assumption is that the
work must be oil, but upon close inspection the artist has rendered
the subject in watercolor. Young Buffington's work is not raw talent
but a highly refined talent. Take a look at the detail
of the brush stroke in the graphic above. 
Tim Truman, freelance
illustrator, cartoonist, and author, has built an award-winning career
spanning 30 years and a variety of genres. Truman has done projects for a
variety of comic book publishers, including Star Wars, Tarzan, Justice
League of America, Green lantern, The Lone Ranger and countless others.
Jim Folker is a
Lititz-based acoustic performer who has played venues throughout the
area for over 15 years. Although billed as a country artist, his
influences range from Vince Gill and Jackson Browne to Chicago and the
Beatles.

Linda Heller - In the space halfway
between reality and the consciousness of spirit, where mystical and
other worldly forces seem only to extend the realm of possibilities,
this artist finds her greatest resources. Her illustrations are a
tranquil expression of her feelings and philosophy and yet can be
universal in appeal. It is the unique blend of creativity and her
spiritual nature that makes her fantasy art so enchantingly beautiful.
Ms. Heller is a graduate of Pennsylvania College of Art and Design. See
