Dear Reader, Welcome to our 2014 Posh Picks issue. In these pages we share some of the finest examples of luxury goods that the Tampa Bay area has to offer. Each was nominated by you, our readers, and then hand selected as representing the “crème de la crème” of their category. Many are well known nationally, even globally, and we hope you find a few treasures you may not have expected. But, we still have yet to learn which will be the Readers’ Choice for best in their category. Only your votes can determine that. We are fortunate to live in a market where exclusive restaurants, custom clothiers, museums and galleries can thrive due to the support of people like you. If you don’t see your favorite, let us know with a nomination for next year. In the meantime, please take a moment and vote for your favorite from each category on our website: www.dupontregistrytampabay.com. Your Readers’ Choice awards will be announced in our next issue, and we will host a V.I.P event in our headquarters on September 4 for these notables. Those who vote for the Readers’ Choice will be entered into a raffle for 2 tickets to this event. If you would like to join us for an evening of awards, live fashion, appetizers and cocktails amidst a unique collection of classic, luxury and exotic automobiles, go to www.gear.dupontregistry.com/p/544/dupont-registry-posh-picks-viptickets for ticketing. Summer fashions are brought to you exclusively in this issue by Gioffrè Fashion. dR FASHION showcases the creations of Italian designer Angela Gioffrè and her one-of-a-kind timeless styles. With boutiques in Italy and right here in Clearwater at 8 S. Fort Harrison Avenue, we appreciate her unique contribution to our fashion pages. dR DISH will tempt your taste buds with Latin American fusion cuisine at the Black Palm restaurant. The new waterside location, 1700 Park Street North, St Petersburg offers ambiance and a rich history that involves celebrities such as Babe Ruth and Al Capone. And, Chef Martin Pintos even shares his special recipe for Ceviche de la Costa. Our dR QUICK GETAWAY feature takes you to Streamsong Resort, where world-class golfing is just one of the activities from which to choose. After a day of shooting clay or bass fishing you can relax at the spa, sample fine dining or lounge at the rooftop bar for some stargazing. We hope you enjoy the Posh Picks issue, and that you’ll join us to celebrate on September 4. See you there.
Enjoy!

HEALTH
By Janan Talafer
GIVING YOUR SMILE A TUNE-UP A daily Starbucks habit, a cup of tea in the afternoon and a glass of Merlot with dinner may help get us through the day, but those lifestyle choices can wreak havoc on the teeth, leaving them stained and dull. Don’t despair. Today’s cosmetic dentists can work miracles, eliminating imperfections and creating a near-perfect smile for everyone. Here are some suggestions for getting started. WHITE and DAZZLING The first step in a smile makeover is to whiten the teeth, says Nathalia T. Jeffrey-Fort, D.D.S., of Family Dental Boutique in St. Petersburg. She offers her patients a “whitening menu” of options based on price range, the time they want to invest in the process and the desired level of bleaching they hope to achieve. A 30-minute in-office laser technique that uses a laser light to activate the bleaching process is the easiest and fastest method. “It’s perfect for someone who wants a quick whitening without any fuss,” says Dr. Jeffrey-Fort. “We have a lot of requests from brides. It’s also ideal for anyone who wants to look his or her best before a special occasion.” For patients who aren’t concerned with fast, immediate results, two types of take-home whitening systems are available—a pre-fabricated, one-size tray and a custom tray created from impressions taken 58 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com
of your mouth. Over a period of a few weeks, the trays are inserted for an hour or so each day. Once whitening is achieved, then other concerns can be addressed, says Dr. Jeffrey-Fort, who recently received master’s level certification from the Academy of General Dentistry. A chipped or cracked tooth can be fixed with resin bonding, while irregular spacing or crooked teeth can be corrected with Invisalign braces, crowns or veneers.
CROWNS and VENEERS What’s the difference between a crown and a veneer? “Porcelain veneers are custom thin layers of porcelain bonded onto the front surface of the teeth, much like artificial nails,” says Nathan Miller, D.D.S. of Miller Dentistry. “A crown covers the entire tooth down to the gum line. “Both crowns and veneers are a quick and convenient way to change the shape, color and size of teeth, says Dr. Miller. For patients considering a crown, he recommends the E-Max, a newer all-ceramic crown that replaces the older porcelain fused to metal crown. “It’s the ideal choice,” says Dr. Miller. “It gives the most natural appearance to the teeth and it’s strong and durable.” Want to make sure you’ll get the results you desire before spending the time and resources to have cosmetic dentistry work done? New technology called the iTero enables the dentist to take a 3-D digital scan of the teeth and bite and then make adjustments for what the mouth will look like after treatment. “It gives us a quick preview of the end result,” says Dr. Miller. The iTero is especially helpful for anyone who opts for Invisalign braces, says Dr. Miller. The new technology not only reduces the need to take multiple impressions, it also eliminates the use of putty-filled material, thereby making the process much more patient friendly. One more example of how technology is changing our lives. Dr. Nathalia Jeffrey Fort, D.D.S. | www.thefamilydentalboutique.com Dr. Nathan C. Miller, D.M.D | www.Miller-Dentistry.com

QUICK GETAWAY
By Susan B. Barnes
STREAMSONG RESORT
IN TUNE WITH CENTRAL FLORIDA Driving away from I-75 South, east through Sun City and deep into Polk County, I wondered just where I was headed. Through the countryside and past any last signs of civilization—and with spotty cell phone service—my curiosity deepened. After a left turn and then a right, it finally appeared like a phoenix rising from the ashes—Streamsong Resort. What’s first striking upon arrival is the resort’s low-slung, sleek, modern architecture. When designing the resort, which opened in January, Tampa-based architect Alberto Alfonso of Alfonso Architects went with golf course-inspired minimalism, using a light touch and stripping away anything that was unnecessary. The result? A multilevel property featuring a sunlight-drenched lobby, 216 spacious guest rooms, an inviting spa and lakeside infinity pool, and numerous dining options, all surrounded by indigenous landscaping and an overwhelming sense of peace and quiet. Golfers from Florida and around the world, including Europe, Australia and South Africa, have been hitting the links at Streamsong since its two golf courses opened in December 2012. Ranked numbers 12 (Red) and 14 (Blue) in Golfweek’s 2014 Best Resort Courses, the two courses rise and fall over rolling hills and provide stunning vistas, not to mention challenging holes and bragging rights. If you can’t get enough time on the greens, choose to stay in one of the handful of rooms found at the Clubhouse. In addition to its world-class golfing, Streamsong Resort boasts the best bass fishing found throughout the State of Florida. Three of the lakes that sprawl across the 16,000 acres upon part of which the
Infinity Pool Bass Fishing

Lodge Guestroom Sporting Clays
resort sits make for ample angling opportunities to catch and release. Or, take aim and spend a morning or afternoon clay shooting, or walking the nature trails. It’s easy to fill days at the resort, with activities or nothing at all. Just a short walk from the lobby in the main building is AcquaPietra Spa, a grotto-inspired space featuring seven pools ranging in temperature from ice cold to steaming hot in which to soak. Once your cares have washed away, one of the spa’s amazing therapists will release any last thoughts of the real world. When it comes to dining at Streamsong, there are plenty of options from which to choose. The Clubhouse’s bar and restaurant satiate any appetite and thirst, before or after a round of golf, or for those simply taking in the views. Inside the resort, P205 (an ode to the land’s phosphate mining days) features an All-American menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Fine dining in the middle of nowhere? That’s just what SottoTerra serves up, not to mention bottles from an extensive fine wine list. The culinary team creates masterpieces nightly, leaving guests pleasantly full and looking forward to their next dinners. The best way to toast a day at Streamsong is at Fragmentary Blue, Streamsong’s rooftop bar. Named from a Robert Frost poem, beers, cocktails, wine and even small bites are served alongside 360-degree views. When night falls, the stargazing is simply incredible from this vantage point. Time spent at Streamsong Resort will surely put you back in tune with yourself.

HOME
By Janan Talafer
Tampa Bay’s year-round tropical weather may feel like paradise, but the climate can present a challenge when it comes to selecting the right doors and windows. Florida homeowners want a top quality product that has the strength and durability to hold up to the sun, heat, salt-water breezes and big storms.

SELECTING THE RIGHT WINDOWS AND DOORS FOR YOUR HOME
According to Mark Leek of DoorPro Entryways, whether you’re building a new home or updating, the most important priorities for a new door are energy efficiency and impact resistance. The same can be said for new windows, says Peter Castro of Architectural Products. Energy efficiency is critical for keeping heating and air conditioning bills reasonable and the home comfortable yearround. Impact-resistance glass is required to meet strict Florida hurricane wind codes, as well as protect against forced entry and break-ins. Pella Windows and Doors offers Florida homeowners a unique HurricaneShield® impact-resistant glass—tough enough to withstand an impact as dramatic as a two-by-four piece of wood traveling at 50 feet per second, says Pella spokesperson Kathy Krafka Harkema. The windows have a polymer layer “sandwiched” between two sheets of glass, a design feature that can hold the glass together even if it is shattered, thus improving safety and reducing injury from flying glass. Pella’s Architect Series, which offers a unique selection of highend craftsmanship in wood, and the 350 Series, a premium vinyl, both offer the hurricane impact- resistance benefit. The 350 Series also comes with InsulShield® Advanced Low-E triple-pane glass that can block up to 96 percent of the sun’s UV rays.
MAKE A STATEMENT WITH A CUSTOM DOOR
Nothing makes a statement like a beautiful entryway. A custom door in wood, fiberglass or glass can add a stunning architectural element to any home. What are some of the hottest new trends in doors? Wrought iron is very big right now, says Leek. So is a contemporary Miami South Beach feel and the simple, retro look from the ‘50s, he says. On the other hand, the style that never seems to go out of favor with Florida homeowners is etched or carved glass with topical motifs such as dolphins, palm trees and underwater scenes. “We can create almost any design in glass as long as it’s not copyrighted,” says Leek. Another trendy design element is oversize doors that average ten to twelve feet tall versus the more standard eight-foot products. Why so big? Many homeowners simply enjoy the added expanse of glass a bigger door gives them, says Castro.

PROTECTION AGAINST UV RAYS AND HURRICANES
Hottest trends: “Wrought iron is big right now... So is a contemporary Miami South Beach
BEAUTIFUL WINDOWS
Like a spectacular front door, windows can add a dramatic appeal to the home and can be designed for any taste, from decorative to streamlined. “Our work has run the gamut of styles and price ranges, including projects where the homeowner has budgeted more than a million dollars for windows alone,” says Castro. Windows can be clad in aluminum, wood, composite, vinyl or a combination of products. In general, aluminum tends to offer the most color selection, while wood offers the most luxury and architectural detail, says Castro. “Many homeowners prefer aluminum on the exterior and then their choice of wood on the interior for a unique custom look.”

SPIRITS
RAISING THE BAR
By Mary Lou Janson
Florida’s
burgeoning craft beer craze is facing some spirited competition. Hot on the heels of microbrewery-mania, craft liquor distilleries are starting to crop up across the state, including several with plans to expand to the Tampa Bay area.

W
e are just at the beginning of what could be a similar movement in distilleries,” said Pat O’Brien, co-owner of the Brandon-based Florida Cane Distillery that opened in 2012. Small-batch, premium liquor production facilities hope to build demand by catering to savvy consumers who seek out locally made products, have a taste for high quality liquors and enjoy sampling new, novel varieties of whiskey, vodka, rum and other distilled spirits. “We were wondering why vodka is the number one consumed spirit in the U.S. but it was hard to find vodkas made in this country or from Florida,” O’Brien, said. “By producing small, handcrafted batches, you can do some really interesting stuff with these spirits.”
FLORIDA CANE DISTRILLERY
Florida’s burgeoning craft beer craze is facing some spirited competition.
Admittedly someone who personally relishes rum, Roberts quickly realized it was possible to create a new, improved rum that could stand out among mass-produced varieties. “When I looked at rums out there, I realized that there were good, high-end rums but when it comes to spiced rums, there was nothing on the market that lived up to a world-class sipping or craft cocktail spiced rum.
▲
Florida Distillery’s brand of handcrafted, micro-distilled vodka prides itself on exclusively using “made in Florida ingredients” like the berries in the Plant City Strawberry and Buccaneer Blueberry vodkas. The limited production process ensures the final results are smooth-tasting and purified, thanks to a slow filtration process. Florida Cane vodkas quickly exceeded production expectations and distribution projections fourfold due to demand from top restaurants and leading retailers throughout Central Florida carrying the cane-based vodkas. Marketing efforts included a recent partnership with the Tampa Bay Lightning and Tampa Bay Storm and expansion of the production facility to include a tasting room serving samples to small groups on Fridays and Saturdays. O’Brien noted the brand’s current line of premium and flavored vodkas will expand to include whiskey to be marketed under the Sunshine label. The new line of un-aged corn whiskeys will feature unconventional flavors like English toffee and orange peel. Some statewide distillers have been steadily producing specialty spirits for years and even winning major awards for their tasty pours. “I’ve been doing this since 2007 but Florida is starting to catch up with the rest of the country,” said Troy Roberts, founder/CEO and head distiller for the Sarasota-based Drum Circle Distilling, home of Siesta Key Rum. “One reason is that Florida is behind a bit in terms of the number of craft cocktail bars with professional mixologists. You tend to find more traditional bars here.”

SPIRITS “In the case of our spiced rum, we do not use liquid (artificial) flavorings. We use honey as a sweetener and real spices to raise the bar. When people tried it, they loved it,” he added. How good is Siesta Key Spiced Rum? It’s been a back-to-back winner of the 2012 and 2013 Rummy award given by the Caribbean Journal for Best Spiced Rum. And the Caribbean Rum & Beer Festival honored only one rum made in the U.S. last year. You guessed it, Siesta Key.

Panache Beverage, Inc., has two established brands, Wodka Vodka and Alibi American Whiskey.
“We have been growing every year but I have been surprised by the acclaim,” said Roberts. “Surprised at how quickly we have been able to win awards and beat the big guys.” The latest addition to Drum Circle's product line is the newly released Distiller's Reserve Spiced Rum. What began as a specialty rum the distiller created for personal enjoyment and to share selectively with family and friends is now available to the public but production is, by design, limited. Retail sales are limited to the distillery's tasting room. Roberts attributes the rum's success to a slow aging process that retains enough of an earlier batch of rum in each barrel to allow the natural flavors to continue to refine with each new batch over time. “The solera aged rum is, by far, the best rum I have produced,” he stated. Fish Hawk Spirits, which distills and bottles at a Dunnellon, Florida plant, hosts tasting events from 6-9 p.m. the first Friday of each month at their Tampa location, The Still in the Heights, to promote its signature spirits, Absinthia Rubra, the Southern red absinthe, and Marion 106, a tangerine brandy. Guests have also sampled its-soonto-launch Twisted Sun Rum brand that could become the first craft spirit to be made in Tampa. Kevin Casey, one of the distillers behind Fish Hawk Spirits and Twisted Sun Rum, hopes to begin small batch production of the Gold and Silver rums at the Seminole Heights tasting room site once approval is granted from City of Tampa officials. Twisted Sun Rums feature high grade molasses and will initially be produced in 55-gallon batches ensuring they will be carefully monitored for color, quality and purity. The former-home-turned-tasting room can accommodate limited production but Casey eventually plans to expand to a larger facility in that same neighborhood. “We opened the first tasting room in the city of Tampa but we don’t know who else has applied to distill here or where they are in the process. We would love to see more craft distilleries in the market. It’s a small community right now and we need more people to help promote the growth of craft spirits,” Casey said. Just north of Tampa, a New York-based, premier alcoholic beverage company specializing in the development, sales and marketing of spirits worldwide, has gained its own foothold in Florida’s spirits industry. Panache Beverage, parent company of premier spirits such as Wódka vodka and Alibi American Whiskey, plans to consolidate most of its domestic production to Florida, following the acquisition of a New Port Richey distillery. The newly re-flagged Panache Distillery is currently capable of producing and bottling more than 650,000-nineliter cases of distilled spirits annually. Improvements are already under way to boost its annual capacity. "This was a no-brainer. I am a longtime Florida resident. When Panache discussed the acquisition with me, I embraced the opportunity," said Jacob Call, president of Panache Distillery. "Florida has historically been a great market for Panache brands." Panache gained recognition as a market leader within the well category of the spirits industry after launching Wódka in 2009. The brand garnered high marks from industry experts while retailing for a fraction of the cost of comparable, super premium vodka. The west coast's Panache Distillery's services include third-party contract distillation and co-packing. "The goal is to produce and sell bulk spirits while also working with micro-distillers in achieving their growth goals as they evolve and reach the next level of brand growth. This is the right place for Panache and the right time," Call added.

CULINARY MASTERS

THE KEY TO CULINARY SUCCESS Meet Joshua Hernandez, Executive Chef at South Tampa’s AVA “The chef at Bestia in LA instilled in me that food should be about finding the highest quality ingredients and letting them speak for themselves.” When Tampa Bay Rays Manager Joe Maddon backs a restaurant, especially a restaurant that’s being concepted and built out by the legendary Restaurateur Michael Stewart, owner of the popular restaurant and nightlife spot 717 South, people take notice. With plans to open the new restaurant’s doors in September, Ava will serve inspired Italian cuisine just across the street from 717 South on the ground floor of Post SoHo Square, an upcoming mixed-used residential and retail development. But once those doors open in September, there’ll be a shift in conversation, from the restaurant’s famous owners to the food itself, thanks to Executive Chef Joshua Hernandez. “My food centers around simplicity,” Hernandez says. “The chef at Bestia in LA instilled in me that food should be about finding the highest quality ingredients and letting them speak for themselves.” Originally from Sarasota, Hernandez grew up cooking in his grandmother’s kitchen, making the staples of Cuban food. “That’s where I first got my feet wet really, helping her and my father as a kid,” Hernandez explains. “The kitchen just ended up being my comfort zone.” In his senior year of college at Florida State, where he was working on a Music degree, Hernandez started cooking again. “I was finishing up my degree and continuing to cook, but eventually, music took more of a supporting role,” Hernandez says. And with that, Hernandez started using the most overlooked tool in the kitchen to create his own signature style. 90 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com
“The most important tool is your hands,” Hernandez says. “I always have my hands and fingers into what I do, whether it’s bread or pizza dough or whatever. I’m constantly touching and feeling to get the right consistency in whatever I’m cooking.” While serving as a chef in LA, Hernandez met Michael Stewart, and the two just hit it off. Eventually, Stewart came to Hernandez with his Italian-restaurant concept. “It all happened in a very organic way,” Hernandez explains. “Michael’s idea of an inspired Italian restaurant was very much in line with how I cook. The chance to work with an operator that has such a similar vision and food philosophy as my own is very exciting.” And with that, Hernandez relocated to the Bay area in March, and began working with Stewart to concept the menu. “We have weekly tastings with family and friends,” Hernandez says. “It’s a great place to try new things and explore new ideas.” Maddon himself has even been very involved in the restaurant’s creation as well, offering feedback and inspiration. “I’ve had the pleasure of sitting down with Joe a bunch of times,” Hernandez boasts. “717 is his stomping grounds, and he’s been a great resource with a lot of great ideas. He knows our audience, and he’s someone I can really talk to about what inspires that audience.” The restaurant will start with dinner service, and eventually add on lunch options. The menu will also continue to evolve as the team receives customer feedback. “Once we open, the menu will be fluid,” Hernandez explains. “We
Tagliatelle with Lamb Ragu 1.5 pounds ground lamb 2 tbsp olive oil Kosher salt to taste 1 large yellow onion, finely chopped 3 ribs celery, peeled and finely chopped 3 medium carrots, peeled and finely chopped 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped 3 rosemary sprigs, fresh 3 thyme sprigs, fresh 3 bay leaves 1 cup red wine ½ cup tomato paste 1 pound dry tagliatelle 2 tbsp parmigiano reggiano ¼ tsp mint leaves, chopped fresh Heat a large heavy bottomed pot with 2 tablespoons olive oil and brown the lamb. Add a few pinches of salt and stir. Remove the
cooked lamb to a plate and leave enough of the fat in the pan so that the bottom is still well-coated. Add onions, celery and carrots. Add a few pinches of salt and sweat while stirring frequently. Be careful not to allow the vegetables to take on color. Once the onions are translucent, about 8 minutes, add the garlic, rosemary, thyme and bay leaves. Sweat for another 3 minutes, taking care not to scorch the garlic. Add the wine and reduce by half. Add the lamb back in along with the tomato paste and stir until all ingredients are well-incorporated. Cook for 7 minutes over medium heat while stirring often. Add enough water to cover ingredients by a half inch. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 1 hour while stirring occasionally until the sauce is an attractive consistency and flavorful. Remove the bay leaves, rosemary, and thyme and check seasoning, adding salt to taste. Once your ragu is ready, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the tagliatelle and follow the manufacturer’s directions on the packet for cooking time. About 2 minutes before your pasta is done, drain the pasta and add it to your ragu. Bring everything up to a simmer and toss enthusiastically until the pasta has incorporated with the sauce, about 2 minutes. Plating: Place in serving dish and garnish with the parmigiano reggiano, chopped mint leaves, a few drizzles of olive oil. Eat while piping hot. Serves 4

A NEW BEGINNING St. Petersburg’s Black Palm Restaurant
94 www.duPontREGISTRYtampabay.com
By Melinda Tam Orlando
Black Palm Restaurant 1700 Park Street North, St Petersburg 727-360-5000 www.blackpalmrestaurant.com
Food and flavor run strong in Lui Arango’s blood. The Colombia, South America native has been in the food industry one way or another all his life. Growing up in a small grocery store that sold fresh meat and fish, Arango moved up the ranks, running luxury hotels and freestanding restaurants until he opened his own place with wife Kathy nearly nine years ago. “I’ve done this my whole life, and I do it by choice,” Arango explains. “I love what I do.” The Arango’s moved from Dallas, Texas to Pass-a-Grille after visiting on their honeymoon, and opened Black Palm with great success. But nine years later, the business needed a larger space to accommodate their loyal following. “I’ve had my eye on this old building for some time,” Arango says. “I really felt like my menu belonged here and I love the area.” February 28, 2014, Black Palm opened the doors at its new location, tripling the restaurant’s previous size, and the building boasts architectural charm and historic ambiance. The 1924 Moroccan-style structure was a bar during Prohibition, and celebrities, sports icons and politicians—including Babe Ruth, Marilyn Monroe and others—enjoyed cocktails here from time to time.
“We have the Copa Room, and that’s where Al Capone had his meetings with his cronies to plan devious activities,” Arango laughs. “We get tourists from all over just to see the room.” But while people might be interested in Black Palm’s location history, it’s the food that keeps them coming back for more. The Latin America fusion menu offers variety and freshness. “We make all our own sauces and all our own desserts,” Arango boasts. “I grew up in Latin America so I have that flavor profile in my blood. I give it ‘Sazón Latino,’ which means ‘Latin seasoning.’” The menu is currently evolving, thanks in part to Martin Pintos, who has come in from Miami to be Black Palm’s Head Chef. But the restaurant’s steady clients will still find many of their favorites on the menu, like the signature Paella Marinera, featuring saffron orzo pasta with bay shrimp, calamari, clams, mussels, corvina, scallops, peas and bell peppers. Chef Martin is revamping the menu by changing the price point, making it friendlier to the local market. “We do Paella Wednesday, because it’s our lead seller.” Arango says. “We are even taking that dish to the Best of Tampa Bay competition, so hopefully we win as having the best one around.” The menu also has tapas like Yuca Fries and Empanadas, soups, salads, main dishes like Café Con Carne with pecan-espresso encrusted angus filet mignon served with flash fried veggies and tortilla wrap mash and the Chilean sea bass on a bed of spinach with a beet salad and cucumber wasabi sauce. The restaurant runs daily evening specials: Mexican Monday, Tapas Tuesday, Paella Wednesday, Wine Thursday with 30 percent off most selections, and rotating specials over the weekends. “We really want people to try us out,” Arango says. “We have great food and we want to share it with the neighborhood.” Black Palm also has a full liquor bar. Reservations are suggested. Black Palm Restaurant is open seven days a week at 5:00 p.m.

A Madeira Beach Treasure One man’s trash is another man’s treasure, and that’s certainly true for Artist Vince Anthony. Anthony’s mixedmedia sculptures are made from more than 80 percent of found and recycled materials like metal, glass, and seashells. Anthony’s favorite piece, entitled “The Axe of God,” is a 4-feet tall, seven-string angel lute made from recycled steel, copper, bamboo, stained glass and more. See it for yourself at Jackie’s on Corey Bistro on St. Pete Beach. “I find all kinds of things on my daily beach bike ride,” Anthony says. “It’s amazing what people throw away.” In Anthony’s 50-plus year art career, he’s explored everything from poetry and photography to clay and metal work. For the last two years, he’s been collaborating with Gallery Owner/Glass Artist Tami Zadnik, and they are planning a large show soon. But the way Anthony sees the world keeps inspiration right at his fingertips. “Always see the world through the eyes of a child because you’ll see the truth and sincerity,” Anthony boasts. “Everything will be new and interesting again.”
