Dorothy has been an Assistant Professor of Art at Millersville University since 2016. She has been teaching drawing and painting for over 20 years. She is represented by Bowery Gallery in New York and has exhibited her work locally at Lancaster Galleries.

Jeff McCredie
A solo show of the artist’s work.
Jeff McCredie has been an artist for a lifetime and has taken a long, winding and interesting journey throughout his career. He has practiced law, worked for our government in different capacities and even had a career as an actor. In all these adventures, he never strayed far from painting.
Jeff prefers to paint plein aire because his artwork is about sensory immersion. It is vital to him to convey how the colors dance, the weather feels, the earth smells, and the emotional connection to the subject. This culmination is his unique offering to the viewer.
