I have a passion for nature, combined with a love for enchantment, and all things magical. This helps me to create my carvings - which are handcrafted with many natural materials found from the woods around my home.

I love the idea of functioning art. I feel that it adds more purpose to the work. Some of my inspiration of clocks stems from the idea of time being a persist illusion, quoted by Einstein. By creating different themes of clocks, I feel as if I create a different appearance of time with each piece. A goal of mine is for the audience to be able to have a moment of zen while admiring the artwork.

Jeffrey Carroll - Retired School Teacher - 30+ years Jeannette City School District



During my 40+ years of painting, (acrylic on canvas) my sole purpose has always been purely self -indulgent and driven by my chosen subject matter… People that I consider “larger than life.“ Faces eyes lips hair and hands have and always will “move” me emotionally more than any form of nature and/or inanimate objects ever could. Although my work has slightly evolve through the years, form hard line figures -to a slightly more impressionistic approach, I still prefer to keep my work consistent with what I have always loved to do, people and faces. Presently I remain clueless when it comes to marketing my artwork. Monetary gain will always be secondary in my artistic mindset.

Dan Overdorff



I was born in Mount Pleasant Pennsylvania and received my Bachelors of Landscape Architecture from West Virginia University in 2008, Associate of Fine Arts from Westmoreland County Community College in 2011 and Vocational Certification in Education from Indiana University of Pennsylvania in 2016. I serve as the Creative Maestro at You Area Here 406 Gallery in Jeanette along with being the founder and chief curator of the Headkeeper Artist Initiative in Greensburg, PA. I am also heavily involved in creating charitable events in the Southwest Pennsylvania area and currently teach landscape design as an instructor at Forbes Road Career and Technology Center in Monroeville.

As an interdisciplinary artist, my work is in a constant state of flux. My artwork focuses primarily on the creation of frozen moments in time through the mixing and clashing of various techniques which I like to call “Poporiginal Expressionism”. When someone is viewing my work, I want them to inspect the canvas not only for the content in the foreground, but for what lies beneath. The content of my current work explores pop culture references while embracing aspects of aboriginal art, abstract expressionism and color theory. The combining of these styles instills a sense of wonderment in the viewer at first glance, and then a realization of differing emotions once it is inspected further. While creating my work, I use a diverse range of painting and printmaking techniques while utilizing digital imagery, graphic design, and photography in my planning process.

Dan Senneway is a Pittsburgh artist and the creator of After Dark Illustrations- hand drawn digital illustrations

The whole town of Slippery Rock was dark except for the street lights and an occasional jagg offs' high beams flying by. Every so often their will be a light on in somones window, and I couldn't help but think of why? Why aren't they asleep? What is keeping them up ? But then also I could be asking myself the same questions, walking home from the studios at 3 in the morning..

When I first started drawing new stories for this fictional town, my goal was to express how much depth the darkness can bring. How many times I can draw it and yet feel different. The playgrounds, amusement parks and neighborhoods come to life in way you will not see during the day. The light shines into the dark which gives it personality, it shows us life. It says we live here and we are safe. But there are those who aren't in their homes. The ones who choose to wander, are the only ones who notice just how beautiful the night can be. These are the stories from the After Dark a town always shrouded in night, Inspired by songs, stories and my own personal experiences.

Dianne Campbell - Reclaimed Roots, BFA/Owner

 Instagram  Facebook

Dianne Campbell graduated from Penn Trafford High School and then went on to Calvin College in Grand Rapids, MI where she earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts. Her work includes painting on reclaimed wood and more recently, making ceramic essential oil jewelry. Having fibromyalgia herself, and 3 out of 4 of her children having autoimmune disorders, has influenced Dianne to move into this new direction and medium. Essential oils have helped her and her family feel better, and get through times of pain and fatigue. She wants to help other people by incorporating her art with diffusing "on the go". The backs of her ceramic pendants, bracelet center-pieces and even earrings are all left porous to absorb essential oils and enable people to diffuse all throughout the day. In most mediums, Dianne's style is repurposing "left behind" materials and making them beautiful once more, in a different way ~ a different light. Her interests lie within capturing the enchantment of trees, flowers, the moon and sun individually, or together in landscape form. Whether it's by painting on old wood or drawing into or pressing old vintage buttons/objects into clay, she desires to bring such things back to life... with a little love.

She has been working at Feathers Artist Market and Gifts in retail and also has had the wonderful opportunity to teach some painting classes. Dianne displayed her paintings there in a couple of gallery events, and currently has some of her jewelry in their shop. She has participated in a Greensburg Art Center gallery event, and is also a member of You Are Here women in art.

Always take the time to nurture
the roots of who you are.
Branch out and reclaim your happiness
by loving yourself, a little more.

Pamela Cooper - Metaphorically Views



Pamela Cooper is an award winning regional artist. She is a graduate from Seton Hill University with a B.S. in Graphic Arts and a minor in Fine Arts. She Also obtained her Teaching Certification there as well. Her “Metaphorical Views,” is a series of paintings created in the summer of 2018. Bridges can be seen as metaphors in our lives. The transformation that occurs throughout our lives can be seen in a bridge. The subject matter will vary in many of my works but you will always note the initial emotional reaction.

“When I first saw it (a bridge), I experienced a powerful emotional reaction.” Even at a young age, Pamela could connect with their composition and harmony. She says, you can see it in the pieces that she has created in this series. People have said that they have become stimulated and engaged in their creative qualities. Some of the paintings are abstracted in form, but still gives you a clarity of unity with the flowing lines, shapes and textures;undeniable in contrast and form.Their majestic beauty derives from their structural form in a naturally harmonious context. It is almost an unintended consequence of their structure- the strength of the flow of their internal forces. Pamela also works in a variety of mediums and styles.You can find her work on Facebook, Pamela Cooper Gallery.
