Elaine Heitzer

Elaine Heitzer

Elaine works in watercolor and acrylic, using both to express the emotions nature stirs in her. She’s especially inspired by water, rocks, and trees, and loves how God’s creation blends peace with excitement. Her process often starts with a photo, but it’s the feeling of a place that guides her. Exploring semi‑abstraction, she builds each piece with loose sketches, bold color, and layered movement to share the emotions she experiences outdoors.
Kasey Neiderlander

Kasey Neiderlander

I work across a variety of mediums and am passionate about connecting art with community engagement. In my artwork, I combine realism with whimsical abstract color. My bright, realistic pieces bring energy to a space, while the vibrant colors and playful nature of my work aim to immediately capture the viewer’s eye.
Lelaina Scott

Lelaina Scott

Lelaina Scott is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania based artist dedicating her time and resources to creative expression. After briefly studying at the University of Pittsburgh, she returned home in 2020 and reconnected deeply with traditional art. She earned her degree in Visual Arts and Music Studies from Penn State in 2023 and has since built a strong artistic presence through solo exhibitions, murals, and teaching engagements across Central Pennsylvania. In early 2025, she relocated to Pittsburgh, where she is actively immersing herself in the city’s art scene. As a painter, muralist, instructor, and curator, Scott’s work centers on the human form and spirit, using acrylics and experimental techniques to explore themes of beauty, decay, and connection.

Rachel Lange

Rachel Lange

Rachel is an artist inspired by the absurdity and queerness of nature, often using cephalopods and other creatures as recurring motifs. They work with reused and found materials, drawn to the beauty in salvaged objects and the value of what’s discarded. They’ve done live painting at Art All Night for two years and enjoy creating in community, even if they’re not naturally competitive.
Rossaro Lawson

Rossaro Lawson

I like vivid wild color combos painting emotion and painting what if's. I like to paint things that could inspire someone to write a folktale.
Suzanne Werder

Suzanne is a Pittsburgh-based artist and educator whose work explores the silly, the sacred, and the sublime. She transforms overlooked materials and uplifts marginalized voices through portraiture and installation. As founder of the Busnegie Museum of Art—a gallery in a bus shelter—she showcases local artists and reimagines public space as a platform for connection and visibility.
