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. Like Bill himself, his photographs are unassuming and taken for the pure enjoyment of it. His work can be see 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.”

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.
“In addition to the traditional foil and solder method, my latest work includes tables and interior wall hangings using a grout application. As I think it is with many artists, the need for creative stimulation is ongoing and requires change. By experiencing different techniques, new ideas can evolve. An important part of my design process is choosing the right color value and texture of glass as well as paying close attention to detail and workmanship. I enjoy the complicated and unusual pieces.This is what defines my work and creates a signature look... one that is genuinely mine.”
