Adam Rung.
As a second generation woodworker, my love and appreciation for wood was fostered at a young age.
My parents, Paul and Bonnie Rung, owned Llewellyn House Furniture specializing in Shaker and Colonial reproduction. I was immersed in the lifestyle of a craftsman throughout my childhood. As an adult, that experience provided me with the foundation in which to go forth and create my own diverse portfolio.
My design perspective is a blend of my early traditional training, urban experiences,
and a lifetime of appreciating beautiful things.
For almost 30 years I have been building beautiful, unique, and functional pieces for my clients.
During that time, a wide range of diverse projects have passed through my hands.
Having the opportunity to create and collaborate on so many interesting projects has
given me a feeling of deep gratitude for both my clients and my craft.
After living and honing my craft in Philadelphia for 15 years, my family
and I moved back to Chambersburg in 2013.
Jim Sabiston.
An award-winning freelance artist formerly based on Long Island, Jim Sabiston began his visual arts career as a painter,
but with the advent of the digital camera, he left painting behind and committed himself to the art of photography.
An experimenter by nature, Jim Sabiston is constantly exploring variations in subject, technique and style.
As such, his work does not lend itself to easy categorization. With a style rooted in minimalistic realism,
his style and subjects are almost infinitely varied. Building on an original artistic foundation as a painter
and an intimate study of photographic giants such as Stieglitz and Steichen,
along with painters such as Andrew Wyeth and Winslow Homer,
Jim Sabiston's current work executes a marriage of photography and painting mediums into highly unique,
print oriented series sets that play to the strengths of both mediums.
Recent work has been oriented towards East End Long Island subjects in his growing ‘Island’ series and ‘Water Spirits’,
a unique study of natural forms, structure and light. His most recent explorations focused on the farms of Long Island’s North Fork.
After his recent relocation to rural Pennsylvania, it is the local rural landscapes that are the subject of his new work.
Jim Sabiston’s work has received awards from National Geographic Explorer magazine, the Adirondack Mountain Club,
the Islip Arts Council, the Sayville Chamber of Commerce, the Westhampton Beach Chamber of Commerce,
Gallery North, East End Arts, the Art League of Long Island and the Huntington Arts Council.
His work has been published in various books, magazines, and is part of many private collections across the country.
