Gregg Valley (1212 E. Carson St.)

Gregg Valley has been creating bold, unique, and colorfully vibrant works of art ever since his graduation from Carnegie Mellon University with a bachelors degree in fine arts and illustration. While the final artwork is created using a computer, his visual technique—what he calls “faceting”—was developed long before special filters or apps were available and is all drawn by hand. Achieved by first determining the key shapes within his composition and thoughtfully dividing them up into many smaller shapes, the technique allows for much more control and manipulation of the image and color palette. Gregg has leveraged and expanded on this style to create monumental works of public art. His varied indoor and outdoor murals have been hand-painted all around the country—some of the largest extending to 60 feet tall and 230 feet long!

Jill Hackney (1317 E. Carson St.)

Jill Hackney (b. 1968, Ohio) explores the interplay of reflected light and atmosphere in her art. Known for her still-lives and landscapes, Hackney captures the impact of light on her subjects through her distinctive technique of layering paint using both vertical, linear strokes as well as a more painterly method. Each painting is approached with a sense of nostalgia. The end effect is a union of the senses, which awakens feelings of joy, serenity, and peace. Growing up in New Orleans, she studied painting at The Cleveland Institute of Art and Louisiana State University, where she earned her BFA in Painting and Drawing. Hackney has participated in exhibitions at Duane Reed Gallery in St. Louis, Ann Connelly Fine Art in Baton Rouge, Judy Ferrara Gallery in Three Oaks, Harris Gallery in Houston, Festival Bogue d’Or in Redon, France, Art Fairs in Palm Beach, FL, Art Aspen, CO, and The Houston Art Fair, TX; among others.

About Shiftworks Community + Public Arts and the Pittsburgh Creative Corps:

Shiftworks Community + Public Arts envisions a region in which the creative practices of artists are fully engaged to collaboratively shape the public realm and catalyze community-led change. Shiftworks builds capacity for this work through civically-engaged public art, artist resources, public programming, and technical assistance. 

The Pittsburgh Creative Corps is an artist-centered workforce development program that aims to: hire visual, literary, and performing artists to work in the public realm; engage a roster of pre-qualified artists living and working in southwestern Pennsylvania; and promote an online directory to public agencies, private businesses, and other organizations looking to commission an artist for projects in the public realm. Applications and nominations are accepted on a rolling basis.

Juliandra Jones (1511 E. Carson St.)

Juliandra Jones is a mixed media artist, muralist, live painter, entrepreneur, and educator, originally from Las Vegas, NV. She is also an alumni of the Brew House Arts Distillery Emerging Artist Residency program. In 2025, Shiftworks commissioned Juliandra Jones to design and lead a community mural-making activity at the Slammin’ Cans Graffiti Jam at the South Side Color Park. Visitors of all ages and skill levels used spray paint, rollers, and paint markers to fill in outlined areas, add color, textures, and patterns, and contribute personal touches. Every participant left a visible mark while contributing to a cohesive final mural. Faces in Bloom is a vibrant mural celebrating strength, unity, and community.

Shiftworks’ support of these Pittsburgh Creative Corps artists was made possible by the City of Pittsburgh’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Arts Programming initiative.
