Pittsburgh punches above its weight in many ways, not least when it comes to its creative community. The portraits here represent a small fraction of the artists - painters, sculptors, writers, poets, musicians, dancers, woodworkers, ceramicists, glass workers, printers, cartoonists, actors, photographers, filmmakers, multi- and interdisciplinarians, and so many more - that comprise Pittsburgh’s creative heart. This project has been sitting in the back of my mind for almost two decades, but the series below was only begun in late 2025, and is ongoing. My deepest appreciation to everyone who so kindly agreed to participate in this project. And my apologies to the many more I have missed.
