YEARS OF FINE ART
I want to thank every one of our artists, staff, collectors, designers, builders, supporters, and vendors for our twenty seven successful years in South Florida. It seems only yesterday that I uprooted our young family and our idyllic lives in Southern California to pursue an insane art dream in Florida. My hats have included everything from art publisher, national dealer, and art agent to this last decade where I’ve focused on my gallerist roots.
The very first gallery I opened was in celebrity filled Malibu in the 1980’s. It was in a charming shopping center across from the Pacific Ocean. The transition from being an art educator to a novice gallerist was difficult! I still had an academic view of what a fine art gallery was supposed to be like, however, I didn’t have the resources to create that perfect gallery setting. So, to survive I used my instincts and eye for talent and started to fill the gallery with more eclectic pieces of local artists that I believed in. Thankfully that energy and authenticity worked and brought me the recognition necessary to relocate my company to South Florida.
Today, after twenty seven years of building my business relationships in South Florida, I am honored to exhibit the best and most exciting stable of incredibly talented artists we have ever represented. Every season our team and I search the world to find unique artists and exhibitions to add to our collections. While at the same time we focus on creating unique, exciting, and non -traditional gallery spaces in South Florida in which you can view and experience great art. We favor unique working gallery spaces where the client is a part of the discovery process, thereby bridging the gap between artist and collector. If you are reading this, you are probably in one of our galleries, but I personally invite you to visit all four of our amazing MAC Art spaces to discover a rich and diverse group of internationally recognized artists rarely exhibited together under the same roof.
My journey to get here has been exciting & fulfilling because I was brave and adventurous enough to forge my own art path and trust my instincts. On behalf of myself, our artists, and staff we thank you for twenty seven great years and more to come! And when we say, it is our true pleasure to help our collectors discover their own path and find art that reflects, inspires and enhances their lives and surroundings, you know we really mean it!
Love Your Art Gallery,

WALTER REDONDO
Walter's style is always in a process of incremental evolution. A very tactile, visual learner, he enjoys the experience of seeing and doing. His paintings are fueled by the expression of things that come through life’s unseen experiences. Every placement of color, or covering of another color, affects and shapes the painting.

FRANK ARNOLD
Arnold’s body of work is centered on his own life from childhood to present. Each story is told in a personal code devised to be both cathartic and confidential. For the past ten years his work has come from a deeper mind connection he has found, producing pieces that speak in many voices; some familiar and some unknown, even to Arnold.

ANDREI PETROV
The creation of a painting begins with a pencil or ink drawing on paper which Andrei extrapolates from and edits as he works the canvas.
First with pencil or charcoal and then with color washes done with acrylic or ink, he maps the raw canvas and allows it to be ingrained with the materials. Once satisfied with the composition and balance, the surface is sealed with a clear acrylic so as to allow the use of oil based pigments.
