SUMMARY:"Think Big" by Elizabeth Ventura
DESCRIPTION:Creating large works requires not only exaggerated gestures\, sweeping brush strokes\, and thick paint but also broader\, simpler concepts that can be seen and understood from a distance. Big work means tapping into big dreams. \nI thought about bold colors\, distinct shapes\, a mix of organic and structured elements to create a noticeable presence. \nThink Big was jump-started by a conversation with a group of women of a certain age that centered on the “cultural invisibility” of older women. Think Big says “I’m here and I still have something meaningful to say.” \n– Elizabeth Ventura

SUMMARY:"One Race\, One Face" by Sal Patalano
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Florida’s bustling streets\, amidst the cacophony of daily life and overlooked corners of society\, my lens finds its true calling. I am Sal Patalano\, a street portrait photographer whose work delves deep into the visceral tapestry of human existence. My art is not just about capturing images; it is about narrating the untold stories of resilience\, despair\, and the unyielding dignity of those often relegated to the shadows of our gaze. \nDriven by an insatiable desire to confront the raw reality of life\, my photography ventures beyond the superficial veneer of society. Each\nframe is a poignant exploration of the human condition\, a candid portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those who find themselves battling substance abuse\, mental illness\, or the relentless sting of homelessness. My subjects are not just subjects; they are individuals whose stories of struggle and survival are frequently ignored or silenced by a society that deems them unwanted. \nThrough my lens\, the streets transform into an open stage without doors to close or curtains to draw. This unfiltered exposure lays bare the stark truth of existence for many\, in a world where privacy is a privilege they cannot afford. My work seeks to dismantle the barriers of indifference\, inviting viewers to confront the discomfort of acknowledging these harsh truths. \nThe essence of my photography lies not in exploiting pain\, but in amplifying the silent cries for recognition and respect that emanate from the fringes of our communities. It is a call to acknowledge the inherent dignity of every individual\, regardless of their circumstances. By casting light on the darkened alleys of society\, my aim is to foster a deeper understanding and empathy towards those who are often dismissed as ‘unwanted’ by the mainstream. \nIn this journey\, my camera is both a witness and a storyteller\, chronicling the unseen and unspoken with a hope to raise awareness and inspire action. Through the stark\, unapologetic portrayal of reality\, my work aspires to challenge perceptions\, provoke thought\, and ultimately\, catalyze change. \nAs an artist\, I am committed to using my craft to unveil the beauty and tragedy of life on the streets\, inviting viewers to look beyond their own worlds and consider the broader human experience. It is in this space of visibility and recognition that I believe true understanding and  compassion can flourish. \nMy photography is more than an artistic endeavor; it is a relentless pursuit of truth\, a homage to the strength of the human spirit\, and a plea for a more inclusive and compassionate society. \n– Sal Patalano

SUMMARY:Mike King\, artist
DESCRIPTION:“I have been painting and drawing for over 60 years now. My mother got me my first set of watercolors when I was nine. She recognized my ability and encouraged me to take up art. I like watercolor for its wonderful way of capturing light\, mood\, atmosphere\, and color brilliance. \nI have been represented by Nuance Galleries of Tampa. Corporate collectors of my art include South Atlantic Capital\, the University of Tampa\, Miller Brewing (Tpa)\, St. Joseph’s Hospital\, Tampa General Hospital\, and Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Private collectors have enjoyed my work for many years.” \n– Mike King

SUMMARY:"Inheritance" by Tracey (Artist) Jones
DESCRIPTION:As the great-great granddaughter of famous Chester County painter\, Ida Ellen Ruth Jones\, my work draws from a distinct family history of diverse creativity and cultural pride. At an early age I began illustrating and quickly became aware that art would be the lifeblood of my future. My family often traveled across the world which allowed me to draw artistic perspectives from many cultures and lifestyles.  \nIn high school\, digital content was starting to boom and there was a pressing need for artistic designers. I was encouraged by my guidance counselors and mentors to use my creative skills to earn a career in graphic design. Over the years I have risen in the ranks as a notable designer but often find that the status quo limitations of business tend to limit my ability to do outside-the-box creative projects.  \nI began painting to get away from the tight constraints of the business world. Painting taught me to expand my perceptions and to have a keen balance of patience and steadfastness in my work. Blending my skills as a graphic designer and as a painter has broadened my creative portfolio into sculpting\, printmaking and digital art.  \nMy goal as an artist is to create\, educate and inspire my fellow creatives to always push beyond our limits.  \n – Tracey Artist Jones

DESCRIPTION:“I have been painting and drawing for over 60 years now. My mother got me my first set of watercolors when I was nine. She recognized my ability and encouraged me to take up art. I like watercolor for its wonderful way of capturing light\, mood\, atmosphere\, and color brilliance. \nI have been represented by Nuance Galleries of Tampa. Corporate collectors of my art include South Atlantic Capital\, the University of Tampa\, Miller Brewing (Tpa)\, St. Joseph’s Hospital\, Tampa General Hospital\, and Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Private collectors have enjoyed my work for many years.” \n– Mike King

SUMMARY:"Inheritance" by Tracey (Artist) Jones
DESCRIPTION:As the great-great granddaughter of famous Chester County painter\, Ida Ellen Ruth Jones\, my work draws from a distinct family history of diverse creativity and cultural pride. At an early age I began illustrating and quickly became aware that art would be the lifeblood of my future. My family often traveled across the world which allowed me to draw artistic perspectives from many cultures and lifestyles.  \nIn high school\, digital content was starting to boom and there was a pressing need for artistic designers. I was encouraged by my guidance counselors and mentors to use my creative skills to earn a career in graphic design. Over the years I have risen in the ranks as a notable designer but often find that the status quo limitations of business tend to limit my ability to do outside-the-box creative projects.  \nI began painting to get away from the tight constraints of the business world. Painting taught me to expand my perceptions and to have a keen balance of patience and steadfastness in my work. Blending my skills as a graphic designer and as a painter has broadened my creative portfolio into sculpting\, printmaking and digital art.  \nMy goal as an artist is to create\, educate and inspire my fellow creatives to always push beyond our limits.  \n – Tracey Artist Jones

SUMMARY:"Think Big" by Elizabeth Ventura
DESCRIPTION:Creating large works requires not only exaggerated gestures\, sweeping brush strokes\, and thick paint but also broader\, simpler concepts that can be seen and understood from a distance. Big work means tapping into big dreams. \nI thought about bold colors\, distinct shapes\, a mix of organic and structured elements to create a noticeable presence. \nThink Big was jump-started by a conversation with a group of women of a certain age that centered on the “cultural invisibility” of older women. Think Big says “I’m here and I still have something meaningful to say.” \n– Elizabeth Ventura

SUMMARY:"One Race\, One Face" by Sal Patalano
DESCRIPTION:In the heart of Florida’s bustling streets\, amidst the cacophony of daily life and overlooked corners of society\, my lens finds its true calling. I am Sal Patalano\, a street portrait photographer whose work delves deep into the visceral tapestry of human existence. My art is not just about capturing images; it is about narrating the untold stories of resilience\, despair\, and the unyielding dignity of those often relegated to the shadows of our gaze. \nDriven by an insatiable desire to confront the raw reality of life\, my photography ventures beyond the superficial veneer of society. Each\nframe is a poignant exploration of the human condition\, a candid portrayal of the harsh realities faced by those who find themselves battling substance abuse\, mental illness\, or the relentless sting of homelessness. My subjects are not just subjects; they are individuals whose stories of struggle and survival are frequently ignored or silenced by a society that deems them unwanted. \nThrough my lens\, the streets transform into an open stage without doors to close or curtains to draw. This unfiltered exposure lays bare the stark truth of existence for many\, in a world where privacy is a privilege they cannot afford. My work seeks to dismantle the barriers of indifference\, inviting viewers to confront the discomfort of acknowledging these harsh truths. \nThe essence of my photography lies not in exploiting pain\, but in amplifying the silent cries for recognition and respect that emanate from the fringes of our communities. It is a call to acknowledge the inherent dignity of every individual\, regardless of their circumstances. By casting light on the darkened alleys of society\, my aim is to foster a deeper understanding and empathy towards those who are often dismissed as ‘unwanted’ by the mainstream. \nIn this journey\, my camera is both a witness and a storyteller\, chronicling the unseen and unspoken with a hope to raise awareness and inspire action. Through the stark\, unapologetic portrayal of reality\, my work aspires to challenge perceptions\, provoke thought\, and ultimately\, catalyze change. \nAs an artist\, I am committed to using my craft to unveil the beauty and tragedy of life on the streets\, inviting viewers to look beyond their own worlds and consider the broader human experience. It is in this space of visibility and recognition that I believe true understanding and  compassion can flourish. \nMy photography is more than an artistic endeavor; it is a relentless pursuit of truth\, a homage to the strength of the human spirit\, and a plea for a more inclusive and compassionate society. \n– Sal Patalano
