Meet Bill and Tess Dirienzo

As it is with most artists, there are many facets to what we do.
Although Bill's main focus is his photography,
he is also an accomplished musician and songwriter. His instrument of choice is the acoustic guitar.
Bill spent many years playing gigs on weekends while working a full time job.
He now plays for the sheer enjoyment of it. He's recorded his own songs
as well as some of his favorite covers.
Tess not only creates beautiful stained glass,
but is a seasoned graphic artist as well.
She has over 25 years experience as a designer and illustrator,
working with advertisng agencies and marketing firms.
While Tess is enjoying working with stained glass, she continues to
freelance her graphic design on a regular basis. |
"It's not about the destination... it's about the Journey."
Bill's photography is reflective of his visits to the clear blue waters of the Bahamas and Caribbean Islands, the laid back feel of the Florida Keys, the tropical foliage, wildlife and historical landmarks of Florida. Bill's photographs are unassuming and taken for the pure enjoyment of it. His work can be seen at various outdoor art shows, and is available in select galleries and boutiques throughout Florida.
"Images of landscapes, architecture and wildlife... the natural beauty of these subjects are, and continue to be, and 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."

Tess' graphic design background provides the foundation for her glass designs. Inspired by her love of the outdoors, her work is reflective of natural fauna and aquatic life. Her classic style and intricate designs have gained her recognition at art shows throughout south Florida where her work is well received.
"Originally trained in the traditional copper foil/solder method, my work includes intricate lamps, windows, mosaic tables, wall hangings and interiors using a grout application. Inspired by my love of the outdoors, my work is reflective of natural fauna and aquatic life. An important part of my design process is choosing the right color value and texture of glass, paying equal attention to detail and workmanship. As it is with many artists, the need for creative stimulation is ongoing. By experimenting with different techniques and use of the glass, new ideas evolve. Striving to think outside the box, I enjoy the more complicated and unusual pieces. This is what defines my work and creates a signature look and personal touch."
