About Us

Della Hoke and Don Uvick are partners in marriage and the arts. They have been involved in their art, photography and other creative works in south central Pennsylvania for two decades, and started Creative Visions in 1988.

Della has a B.A. from the Pennsylvania State University (University Park, PA) in Drawing and a B.F.A from the California Institute of the Arts (Valencia, CA) in Character Animation. She has provided artwork for numerous organizations: flyers, t-shirts, brochures, etc. Della has also shown and sold her pieces throughout the Greater Harrisburg area. In addition, she designs and maintains web sites and newsletters.

Don received his B.S. in Business Administration from Penn State. He works full time as a Research Analyst for the Naval Inventory Control Point in Mechanicsburg. Don has been photographing for many years, believing that as a photographer he can provide a variation in subject matter which is pleasing to both the casual observer and those with a trained artistic eye. To Don, photography is a media which reaches out to everyone, that a photograph should create a feeling and elicit an emotional response from its viewer.

In 1986 he began to capture and preserve as many lighthouses as possible on film (not digital) so that they can be shared by all forever. Don has photographed well over 100 lighthouses and continues to add more to his list. (Resume).

However, his passion for photography goes beyond lighthouses. His fine art photography covers a broad range of topics including architecture, nature, nostalgia, photojournalism and street scenes.
