“Give Thanks, Give Back” by Hanna Rachocka (Online Exhibit & Auction)
Give Thanks, Give Back by Hanna Rachocka is a charity exhibit benefiting the Carrollwood Cultural Center.
The collection is a series of ten impasto acrylic paintings by Hanna Rachocka that transform the traditional still life into an elemental exploration of emotion, weather, and inner fire. Each vessel becomes a metaphor for the human spirit—resilient in rain, tangled in thought, radiant in bloom, or aflame with creative force. Together, the works weave a narrative of resilience, paradox, celebration, and transformation, inviting viewers to reflect on the seasons and storms of the soul.

“Direct/Indirect” by William Talenti
Six paintings by William Talenti that started with a deliberate modality—Realistic, Abstract, or Non-Objective—pairing each with a "sister" painting on an opposing wall to serve as a formal counterpoint.

“Inspired to Create: One Exhibition. 6 Artists.”

The exhibition highlights their work as a collective effort, a meeting of individual styles shaped […]
“Retrospective – Do Not Disturb” by William Talenti
The world presents itself in contradiction—at once profoundly beautiful and deeply fractured. My artworks are meditations; they are puzzles. I do not resolve or conceal this duality; instead, I embrace it within the stillness of my studio, finding honest moments in broken imperfections. Spanning thirty years, Do Not Disturb brings together autobiographical ideas that have […]
