Bill's photography is reflective of his visits to the clear blue waters and landscapes of the Bahamas & Caribbean Islands, the laid back feel of the Florida Keys, the tropical foliage, wildlife and historical landmarks of Florida.
"Images of landscapes, architecture and wildlife... the natural beauty of these subjects are, and continue to be, an endless source of inspiration. From taking the photo to making the frame, I prefer to do the entire process myself. When making the frames, I like to use weathered wood that I can rejuvenate and add a finish that best compliments the photo. In this way, the frame becomes part of the art."

Originally trained as a graphic designer, Tess was introduced to stained glass in the early 90's and has since mastered the technique. Her classic style and intricate designs have gained her recognition at art shows throughout south Florida where her work is well received. Some of Tess' exclusive designs can be seen at select galleries and boutiques.
"All my designs are hand-cut originals and one of kind. My first love lies in lamp making, but I am most stimulated by unusual and complicated pieces. I place a lot of focus on the creative process and attention to detail. This is what defines my work, creating a signature look that is genuinely mine."
