Five artists, completely different mediums: painting in tempera, acrylic, and oils; working in clay, glass, and photography – making magic in their chosen way.

Nina Davidowitz received her MA in art history and MFA in design. Although she has been making art since she was a child, painting in acrylics is mostly self-taught.

As a recent transplant from Pennsylvania, she has embraced the forms and shapes of her new home in Florida which now appear in her work. Houses, yards, streets and hedgerows form her subject matter and they radiate light, cast shadow and occupy space in unique ways.

Her work has garnered many awards, and she has appeared as a featured artist in the Acrylic Artist Magazine.

Rick Eggert, the glass artist, received his BFA in glass sculpture from the Rochester Institute of Technology.

Before completing his graduate degree, he roamed the far corners of the world absorbing the cultures, art, and flavors of Korea, Thailand, Australia, Tahiti, Moorea and New Zealand.

Rick operates Lotus Design Group Inc. where he creates his blown work as well as cast glass and mixed media work.

We are excited to share his Dynamic Cosmos series of blown glass sculpture. Beautiful, undulating, vibrant forms organic in nature, and a wonder to see.

Tina Kraft received her BA in fine art from FAU and her MA from the New York Studio School. She has furthered her studies in classes and clinics in New York and in Italy.

Her evocative landscapes and interesting pallette create mood and atmosphere. She is a master of brushwork, color, composition and near abstraction.

She has taught at the Armory Art Center in Palm Beach, and continues teaching private students.

Gail McCarthy is our mystical magician of clay. A special alchemy of secret formulas gives her forms lusters of unexpected brilliance.

While living in Washington, D.C. in the 1960s she studied with the master potter Valley Possony. She received her MFA in sculpture at the University of Buffalo where she was strongly influenced by another master, Beatrice Wood.

Gail has exhibited throughout the world and her work is held in museums and private collections. Since moving to Port St. Lucie, Gail has been involved in the arts community especially with the Lundin Kudo Empty Bowls project which raises money for the Treasure Coast Food Bank.

Jane Saull is also a wanderer. Only she roams the world’s oceans with camera, tanks, and lights to photograph our underwater environment. While she also captures pictures on land, this exhibit focuses on her mesmerizing macro underwater work.
