Larisa Sarver grew up on a farm with some woodland area outside of Serena. Walks in the woodlands and learning the plants with her father and gardening with her mother helped her develop a great love of nature that comes through in her artwork. After graduating from Serena High School, she attended Illinois State University and earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Art Education. Larisa taught at various schools around the area but taught her last 17 at LaSalle Peru High School. She has exhibited both her photographic work and her paintings at various juried and non-juried art exhibitions throughout the Illinois Valley.

Nadler, a.k.a Nate, Petit-Dieu, has been creating artwork for the majority of his life. He has worked on varying projects, from digital designs to mural applications, aiming to push himself to new creative heights. With years of painting experience in his brush, Nate looks to draw attention to issues such as emotional identity and internal conflict through large vividly colored canvases. Nate Petit-Dieu’s line drawings of imaginative superheroes and fantastical characters practically leap from the page. The characters he creates are uniquely suited to the adventure and thriller narratives that he creates alongside his art. In addition to his graphic illustrations, his acrylic work is beautifully executed. He is a concept artist who is as much at home with a brush as he is with a pencil.
