The Poppy Press is downtown Hazleton's newest cafe and coffee shop. Owner Tamara Hersberger is excited to be hosting artists Mike Segilia and Christie Welch.

Mike Segilia has been creating art in one form or another since he was a child. These days he mostly works with watercolors and sometimes acrylics. He loves painting seascapes, landscapes and portraits. Mike has done several consignment projects for people's pets or loved ones that have passed away. He also create works of special places specific to his clients and painting scenes of his own travels. He looks forward to having the public see his work.

Christie Welch creates what she considers to be salvage art. She uses repurposed frames from thrift stores, as well as scrap aluminum as the sign base. She uses old license plates and other scrap items to create one of a kind pieces. No two are ever exactly the same. Since she works in the scrap metal industry the possibilities and resources are endless! Christie has been making signs for 7 years and thoroughly enjoys every creation.
