Visual Arts: Abstract, Fine Art, Graffiti, Graphic Design, Impressionism, Sculpture, Watercolor

I aspire to create sculpture that reflects a world filled with magic and wonder, celebrating the interrelated continuousness of all things through my Mobius-like works, with a single, traceable, looping edge. My works are produced through a method of direct carving, which entails having no preconceived notions or models from which to derive the final shape of my pieces. Instead, I allow the natural rhythms of the materials I use to guide me to a final product, rich with serene fluidity. During my 40-year-career, I have produced more than 1000 works in steel, bronze, wood, and water, though my curvilinear, Mobius-inspired stone sculptures are my most celebrated. I have carved 211 different kinds of rock from 56 countries.

Karen & Tony Barone

Architectural; Visual Arts: Murals, New Media / Technology, Painting, Sculpture

Karen & Tony possess a formidable wit. They create mind-boggling works of art that challenge our sense of scale and spatial reality. Their larger-than-life sculpture and their over-the-top public art ensemble installations, place us in an Alice-In-Wonderland state of disbelief and visual adventure. They believe art can be a powerful force for good and human enrichment and that’s their M.O. and they support many causes to that goal. PRESENTLY – The Barone’s continue bringing joy & happiness to art lovers and are immersed in multi-disciplined high-level Crypto Art projects which have become vehicles for Karen’s VIDEO EXPERIMENTALIST PERFORMANCE ART and Tony’s PAINTINGS, which are derivative of Karen’s videos. … the future has arrived! Videos and paintings are viewable in the virtual museum at BaroneArt.com

Lynn Basa

Visual Arts: Mosaics, Other, Sculpture

With public art, the people, history, and purpose of a place become my materials. Every public art commission starts with the aspirations of its community, whether it’s about commemoration or commerce; reparation or reclamation, it all forms the symbolic meaning of my work. This human effort and constant innovation fueled by the necessity for survival is what I celebrate in my public work.

Jorge Blanco

Visual Arts: Sculpture

I am a Venezuelan-American artist who immigrated to the United States in 1999. I have dedicated myself to the creation of art that values a positive lifestyle. My work embraces scale, landscape and the urban. I want to express gratitude and happiness and I am inspired by movement, music, athletes and nature. I have worked in many mediums, including bronze, fabric and wood, now I use aluminum because of its lightness and durability in harsh climates. My sculptures are generally painted in bright colors, I use the powder coating technique for outdoor sculptures. I am continuously working, creating collectible sculptures, prints and large-scale projects for developers and public spaces. My work has been exhibited worldwide and as of December 2022, I have a gallery space in Sarasota, Florida, the city where I live, create and fabricate my work. Featured image: Bravo!, Sarasota, Florida. This work represents the vibrant spirit of the arts, I used clean shapes to create the illusion of movement. You will find abstract elements representing music, cinema, dance and the visual arts.

Phoebe Brunner

Visual Arts: Painting

My paintings reflect the tension between pure beauty and the threat of nature’s devastating potential…. Sublime imagery with a slight ominous warning, between mystery and faith, between what we can control in our environment and what we cannot. And with this reverence for nature, hopefully an understanding of our responsibility to protect our environment. As a visual artist, I use beauty as a tool, a hook, to seduce the viewer into awareness, and hopefully engender a greater stewardship….Created by tapping into a huge visual reservoir of memories, I utilize field notes, photos, and thumbnail sketches. A third generation Californian, I spent a large part of my childhood on a 15,000 acre coastal cattle ranch – one of the original Spanish Land Grant ranchos – near Santa Barbara, where I currently live and work.
