“Church and Flag” (“4th of July 2006”) has previously displayed at shows including my 2nd Off Track Art display July 7, 2009 (4.) where it was shown in much smaller size and priced at $125.-

It was also shown at my 1st Off Track Art display February 13, 2009 (10.) in a bit of larger size than what was shown in the 2nd Off Track Art display and it was priced at $155.-

“Church and Flag” has been a very popular and well-received drawing. This is the largest size of the drawing I’ve had printed so far. A number of framed prints of this photograph have been sold or donated to charitable causes in the past in various sizes at various prices. This copy is actually my display copy. However this size framed, at this price, can easily be duplicated. Prices for prints depend on the size and whether you want it framed.

“Sin” is an original college by Kevin Dayhoff. The 18.25” wide x 22.25” collage was completed on February 4, 1985.

This piece of art has, to the best of my knowledge, never been displayed before in a show outside of my home.

It is seriously not really for sale… However this size framed, at this price, can easily be duplicated. Prices for prints depend on the size and whether you want it framed. For example, an 8” x 10” glicee-print framed is $135.00; a 5” x 7” – 85.00 which includes a 25% commission to be paid to the gallery

Kevin Dayhoff
October 14, 2010

Kevin, age 57, is a Westminster native who lives on Uniontown Road with his wife, Caroline Babylon.  Kevin has been a freelance writer and artist since 1971; a self-employed artist and businessman since 1974 and exhibiting art since 1981.

As a landscape, collage, mixed media assemblage, sculpture artist, writer and photographer; he has had a life-long pervasive interest in spatial relationships and the juxtapositioning of incongruent objects. 

After graduating from Westminster High School in 1971, he attended Elon College two years before quitting college to pursue a career in writing and art.

He returned to Westminster and worked at a variety of jobs. Dayhoff soon put aside his drawings and collages and concentrated increasingly on technical writing and landscape designing where he could turn his art into a finished product that the greater community could more easily understand - and for which he was paid.

In 1974, Dayhoff started his own business as a landscape designer, contractor, and nurseryman.  As the business continued to get established, he found that he could spend more time on his first loves – art and writing.

In June and July 1981 Dayhoff had his first art show, a one-person show at the Theatre Project in Baltimore, followed by a group show, "Four at 409" at Gallery 409, in Baltimore in October 1982

It was in the 1982 time period that Dayhoff met Carroll County artists Linda Van Hart and Robert J. Waddell while he was exploring photocopier art.

Hart and Waddell opened-up more opportunities for Dayhoff to explore art and have opportunities to show.  In addition to encouraging Dayhoff to continue exploring photocopier art and collage, Hart and Waddell also introduced Dayhoff to ‘Mail Art.”  Dayhoff continues to participate in (幸円 良介 - Ryosuke Cohen’s long-running “Brain Cell” – “Fractal” series, from Osaka, Japan, (from 1988) to this day.

Beginning with a June 1983 one-person show, Dayhoff has had the opportunity to display art locally at the Carroll Arts Center on five occasions over the last 3 decades.  In addition to the Arts Center, he has had about six shows at Western Maryland College from 1985 to 1991, including an extensive one-person retrospective show, “Tales of a Disenfranchised Hilltop Artist/Farmer,” in February 1990.

Dayhoff retired from landscape design, contracting and raising nursery stock after 25 years in the business, in 1999.  From 1999 to 2005 Dayhoff served as an elected official for the city of Westminster; from 1999 to 2001 as a councilmember and 2001 to 2005 as mayor.

He currently writes about history, art, agriculture, community, and crime for several publications including Explore Carroll for Patuxent Publishing Co., since June 2, 2005; The Tentacle, since June 9, 2005 and Investigative Voice since February 25, 2010. 

In the past he has enjoyed collaborating with a number of artist groups, including The Consortionists with Linda Van Hart and Bobby Waddell from 1983 to 1989; the United Art Workers from 1989 to 1991 and most recently with Off Track Art from December 2008 to present.

Artist Biography

After working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early retirement.  In January 2007, she took her first art class at Carroll Community College.  She continued with private watercolor classes with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt, Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.  Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an artist.

She has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art Association.  Within this past year, two of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building.  Presently, original pieces and giclees are in private collections and consigned in a local shop.

When Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement when painting her first abstract.  Now she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the canvas, the better.  She enjoys expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the imagination with whatever materials are available.  The whole process from beginning to end is exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.

Pen and ink artist Stan Gilmore to exhibit at Off Track Art


Please join us at Off Track Art on November 2, 2012 at 5:30 in the evening for a reception for our next guest artist, Stanley F. Gilmore, Jr.

Mr. Gilmore specializes in pen and ink drawings of various buildings and structures found in and around Carroll County. He enjoys this medium as it suits the character and structure of many historic buildings.

The drawings are all limited and numbered edition prints with each subject not just rendered in ink, but many are hand colored with watercolors as well. A few different subjects other than Carroll County scenes will be on exhibit and for sale as well.

In addition, Mr. Gilmore has also illustrated two children’s books for Old Line Publishing, found at Old Line Publishing.com, Amazon.com, and Barnes & Noble.com.

One book is “The Little Match Girl,” by Hans Christian Anderson, and the other is “The Birth of Christ,” as found in the gospel of Luke. These two books will be available for purchase and signing at the opening of his art show on November 2, 2012.

Mr. Gilmore is now a retired art teacher who taught elementary, middle school, and high school art for 38 years in various schools in the county.

He is presently teaching art at the Carroll Lutheran School K - 8, one day a week, and varied drawing classes in the evenings at the Carroll Community College in their Continuing Education Program.

He is a graduate of The Maryland Institute College of Art with a BFA in Art Education, 1970, and Towson University with a MS degree in Instructional Technology, 2000.

“Off Track Art” is an artists’ collective and gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St and MD 27-Liberty St - in downtown Westminster, Maryland.

For almost 4-years, the ten partners in the coop have been dedicated to advancing the arts in Westminster as well as the careers, ideas, and artistic visions of its members.

The coop partners include, Kevin Dayhoff, Gail Elwell, Linda Van Hart, Judy Goodyear, Charlotte Laslo, Amanda Beck Mauck, Joyce Schaum, Carolyn Seabolt, Robert Waddell, and Gordon Wickes.

After discussions and organizational meetings in December 2008, Off Track opened its doors in January 2009 and had its grand opening on Feb. 13th, 2009.

Off Track Art’s hours are: Wednesday through Friday, 12 – 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m to 5 p.m.

Our opening reception for Mr. Gilmore is scheduled for November 2, 2012, 5:30 to 7:30 pm. For more information go to: www.offtrackart.com

Opening Reception at Off Track Art
Friday, July 27, 2012
5:30 - 7:30 PM
Paula Waterman

Meet the Artist, and view her exceptional wildlife portraits!

Paula Waterman can’t remember a time she wasn’t making art. For the past decade she has been doing just that as a full time artist working in scratchboard, oil painting, and most recently in bronze sculpture. Her subject matter is mostly the animals she sees in the wild and in the company of people. She has a particular interest in birds, and of dog subjects, though landscape and marine subjects are also important to her.

A common thread in all her work in all media probably is the critical importance of light source and light color; in fact she feels that light is the true subject in all her work.


Please join us!

Perhaps it's something in the air. But Westminster seems to be a center of creative expression.

Whether it's something created by a local artist or artisan or a home accent carefully chosen by a local business owner, you're sure to find something here that can bring a little self-expression to your home. -- Sloane Brown

“Child of the Universe,” the latest exhibition by Phil Grout opens Friday at Off Track Art in Westminster

“Child of the Universe,” the latest exhibition by Phil Grout opens Friday at Off Track Art in Westminster


Award-winning Carroll County photojournalist, fine art photographer, and author, Phil Grout, will appear for the opening of his latest exhibition Friday, May 4, 2012, at Off Track Art in Westminster.

His latest exhibit, titled “Child of the Universe,” is a collection of 40 black and white images that come to life from Grout’s 45 years of documenting life in Americas, Africa, Asia and India.

Grout is no stranger to Off Track Art, where he exhibited extensively from January through June in 2011.

Previously Grout had a critically acclaimed retrospective show at Birdie’s Cafe, 233 E. Main St., Westminster, MD ran in November and December 2010. That show, “44/40,” spanned over four decades of Grout’s work, from Vietnam to Africa, Plains Georgia, to Carroll County; and included almost 70 pieces of work.

“I’ve never done a show like this,” said Grout in an interview last Wednesday. “This show focuses upon our humanity and what binds us together… It’s 40 4-by-6 inch framed black and white images of people and runs the gamut of emotions,” explained Grout.

For example, in “Afua's Hands,” Grout reminisces “Her name was Afua Nyame. At 83 she was the oldest cocoa farmer in the village of Odaho, Ghana, West Africa. In Harvest of Hope, a book by Grout for SERRV International, he wrote, “Hope carves trails in an old woman's hands then plows furrows up her arms, and all trails lead back home where food is never scarce and the medicine is always half full.”

In another photograph, “Giving Thanks,” Grout shares that it “is a portrait I made in 1971 of John and Irene Wolf saying grace in their humble Taneytown home. John was a huckster who hauled livestock to the Woodsboro auction for over 50 years. He would return many times with box lots of 19th century tools.

“Over the years he built an extensive collection of Americana and hand-wrought farm implements and tools. The Wolfs helped shine the light on my path which lead me round the world in search of the threads which bind us together as human beings.”

Since 1966 that path has lead Grout and his work throughout North, South and Central America, Asia and Africa gathering images for newspapers, magazines, wire services, and book publishers.

According to his website, philgrout.com, and a series of e-mail interviews, Grout said he “started to learn his craft as a photographer in 1966 working as a photojournalist for the U.S. Navy covering naval operations in Vietnam.

“But I quickly learned it wasn’t the images of war I was hunting, but more the face of humanity as I roamed the back alleys of Saigon; Hong Kong; Sasebo, Japan and Olongopo, Philippines.”

With pictures and words Grout, “became a gatherer of the threads which bind us together as human beings.”

After the war, Grout “came home and settled in rural Maryland with his wife, Mary Lou, and worked for nearly 10 years as a photographer, reporter, and editor for the Hanover Evening Sun in Westminster.”

Since moving to Carroll County, Grout has authored three critically acclaimed photo essay books. His work has been awarded by the Associated Press as well as various arts organizations. It has also been featured in art galleries throughout the United States.”

According to Grout, “I fell in love with this land and its people who worked the land in my new rural home. That love pulled me away to Plains, Georgia in the late 70’s to complete my first book as I lived in an abandoned sharecropper’s home near President Jimmy Carter’s farm, and learned first hand the rigors of working the land and documenting the “tillers of the soil.”

His first venture into the book world won him national critical acclaim, including recognition from Publisher’s Weekly which called A Spell in Plains “a triumph.”

In the 1980’s Grout took his camera throughout the developing world in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and India documenting the work of various relief organizations. 

A second book of photography, “Seeds of Hope,” “grew from the splinters left in the wake of a hurricane which cut a path through Nicaragua in 1988,” recalled Grout.

Grout then went on to live in Ghana, West Africa in 2002, with an extended family of cocoa farmers to create his latest book, “Harvest of Hope,” a portrait of those who toil to bring us chocolate.

Grout, who is also an avid gardener, is constantly pushing the artistic envelope in search of new and innovative ways to tell a story, over the past four decades he has explored drawing, blacksmithing, woodworking, papermaking, and new photographic processes in photography.

In a May 21, 1995 article in the Baltimore Sun, credits his father, Gerald C. Grout, for his interest in art and photography. “He’s the one who really got me into photography. He was a physician and a fine photographer. He had his own darkroom, and I used to watch him,” Grout told Sun writer, Ellie Baublitz.

At the time, the article in 1995 described Grout’s show at the Carroll County Arts Center, also a retrospective, “Jubilee: A Photographic Retrospective.”

“Like his father, Mr. Grout has a studio and darkroom in his Westminster home, where he develops prints, standard photos as well as what he calls ‘photoglyphs’ and an even newer image using handmade paper,” wrote Baublitz in 1995.

“His photographs capture people, animals, and nature, mostly in black and white, few in color, some as photoglyphs.

The photoglyphs are a relatively new method of developing prints that Mr. Grout discovered while experimenting with chemicals,” observed Baublitz.

“For those who have the time, Mr. Grout can tell the story behind (each of) his photographs.”

Indeed, his photographs all tell a short philosophical story about Grout’s worldwide travels in the four decades of a life rich in storytelling and experiences.

Grout is “Good picture shooter and a colleague in journalism… (We worked together) starting in the Navy and then at the Hanover Evening Sun… I have three or four walls covered with his work in my home…. (I) recommend you stop by and see his stuff,” said former Carroll County Commissioner and fellow Vietnam veteran, Dean Minnich

Sherri Hosfeld Joseph, the owner of Birdie’s and an artist and critically acclaimed photographer herself, added, “Phil Grout is one of the greatest photojournalists of his generation. We are truly blessed as a community that he has chosen our stories to document. His work will leave you awestruck.”

After his work in Africa, Phil returned to his first love, photojournalism, and newspapers in 2006, freelancing for Patuxent Publishing and its string of papers in central Maryland. His photo illustrations regularly appear in Carroll Magazine as well.

Phil’s photography and reporting have been awarded by the Associated Press, Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association as well as various arts organizations.

"Child of the Universe," a collection of 40 black & white images opens Friday, May 4, 5:30-7:30, at Off Track Art, an artists’ collective and gallery located in the historic Liberty Building at 11 Liberty Street – next to the railroad tracks, off of the Sentinel parking lot at the corner of West Main St and MD 27-Liberty St - in the historic downtown of Westminster, Maryland. The exhibition runs through the month of June.
