Former Alumni HK Miller and Mark Altrogge will be exhibiting paintings and prints from their Masters research from the 1970's juxtaposed with there recent landscape paintings. 

Harold K. Miller was born in 1950 and grew up in southern New Jersey. He attended Indiana University of Pennsylvania, earning a B.A in Art in 1972 and a Masters in Printmaking and Education in 1975. After surviving 32 years in the Pennsylvania public school system, Harold retired in 2006 and began painting full time. Beginning with small plein-air studies, he gradually moved on to larger studio paintings. Of particular interest is a series depicting the farm structures on the Gettysburg battlefield. Harold resides in Indiana with his wife Susan and has been influenced by the work of Edward Hopper, Winslow Homer, the Wyeths (N.C and Andrew), and Sidney Laurence.

Mark Altrogge graduated from IUP in 1972 with a degree in Art Education, and in 1979 earned his Masters Degree in Painting from IUP as well. Influenced by Vincent Van Gogh and other expressionists, Mark uses rich colors and rhythmic brushwork in his oil paintings.
