CherryClouds
CherryClouds is a painter who bounces between anime and realism, always reaching for acrylics because they dry fast and keep the ideas flowing. She loves creating fantasy pieces and portraits, backed by three years of illustration training at Ringling. When she’s not painting, she’s playing her ukulele or streaming games.
Dani’s love for art showed up early, but it wasn’t until she stopped trying to fit a “school style” that everything finally clicked. Her work is emotional abstraction shaped by gesture, color, and intuition. She paints by feel, letting her soul move the brush, and only at the end does the image reveal itself—pure emotion in motion.
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.
Huskreative is run by an artist who creates bold, bright, expressive work with a focus on functional art. She designs and produces everything herself, blending fine art with pieces meant for everyday use. She thrives in high‑energy creative spaces, enjoys sharing her process with a live audience, and has plenty of experience vending and making art in public. Connecting with people through her work is what drives her.
Katie is a fearless creator who transforms anything into art, driven by a mission to make the world more beautiful and whimsical—one delightfully weird piece at a time.
Krysta is a Pittsburgh‑based artist who works across painting, printmaking, and textiles to create bright, eye‑catching pieces. She often blends these mediums and brings natural elements into her work, from landscapes to flora, fauna, and even microscopic forms, with a focus on native endangered species. She loves exploring how color shifts emotion, using thin, saturated layers to build depth and interest.
Mal is a multi‑medium artist who loves the mix of creation and community that comes from sharing ideas. They’re almost always working with clay—whether harvesting it from creek beds or joining big community wood firings. Ceramics is their favorite place to play, and they find real joy in helping others discover their own potential.
Marlana is an artist who has enjoyed creating for as long as she can remember. She loves painting and finds real joy in making something beautiful. Art has always been a meaningful part of her life, and she paints with genuine passion and appreciation for the process.
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.
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.
Tyler creates work that blends strong color, pattern, and texture to reflect human strength and emotion. Growing up in a tough environment, he found confidence through art. Using materials like oil paint and watercolor, he builds scenes from imagination or reference, aiming to capture everyday beauty and the depth of human feeling. His work is shaped by nature, spirituality, and culture, spanning abstract landscapes, portraits, and surreal imagery.
