Just Brenda Art Studio is the kind of place that makes living in York exciting, trendy, edifying,…read moreand just plain fun! Brenda Wintermyer, the owner and artist, is a warm, well-read, well-traveled woman who is dedicated not only to her art but to updating and revitalizing the downtown area of York City. From the minute you walk through her door and climb the stairs to her studio you know you are in the presence of something wonderful and possibly life-altering. She greets you with the enthusiasm of a long-lost friend. She will stop whatever she is doing to talk with you...and be prepared to spend some time because there is so much to talk about! As you wander through her studio, which is on the small side but jam-packed with wonderful things to look at, Brenda will happily explain to you the history behind each piece, what inspired it, why she created it, and if it is part of a series. Brenda also holds art classes for the beginner as well as the more experienced artist. Her teaching style is to encourage the student and instruct without ever making the student feel unaccomplished (or in my case, hopeless!) Brenda's studio is open every First Friday event in downtown York, and many old friends as well as some new ones, can be found drinking tea or wine, chatting, and just enjoying the warmth and bonhomie that Brenda naturally engenders. Stop in sometime and say hi!

I found a cool carry bag featuring a beautiful donkey, which will make a wonderful gift for my wife. The bag even has a small painted pouch inside the bag for her to store small items. This is going to be a great bag to carry treasures she finds when shopping at flea markets. Our anniversary is coming up, but I won't be able to keep this a secret. She'll tell by the grin on my face that I have a secret. She's getting this today. The staff is very friendly, too. I could see students in a back room taking a class. There's good energy in this store. I can't wait to take my wife to Friendship Heart Gallery.

She also uses ordinary objects to incorporate into her art, such as newspaper clippings, and glitter, and thick coats of paint to make it look thick. Her work is expensive, but if you're interested in buying one, she will negotiate with you to buy more of her pieces, giving you deals. She does have certificates of authenticity to give you when you purchase her art. Good quality, and very beautiful to look at with bright, vivid colors. Very talented artist who deserves more attention.

You can absolutely tell from the detail she puts in her work that she takes her time and goes for quality over quantity (even though her art gallery has tons of artwork). Give her a shot, I dare you to visit her store without being tempted to buy some of her work.
