Don Saginario played his first gig in NYC when he was 12 years old. Within two years he was opening for the Young Rascals at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. He also learned through informal instruction from John Kay of Sparrow, aka Steppenwolf, and Billy Joel of the Hassels. During his college years Don played bass with Vince Martell, guitarist with the Vanilla Fudge. Don began his professional tenure after earning his BA in music from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. That career included studio work as well as playing at the Coventry back-to-back with Kiss. Classical guitar studies with Jorge Morel led Don to a graduate degree in music from Herbert H. Lehman College (CUNY), Bronx, NY and Artist in Residence status in guitar at Long Island University's Southampton College (now Stony Brook Southampton). Among the highlights of his career Don cites work with late jazz flutist Herbie Mann, and Stan Bronstein, leader of John Lennon's backup band, as well as studies with John Scofield and Joe Monk in NYC. Don continues to compose, perform and teach at The University of Tampa.
He is known as Dr. San Man, with words that heal the soul, as he has reached out grasping the experiences of life as though it were a voluptuous fruit, savoring its tasty nectar translating it into spoken word. The Ambassador Poet and Tampa Icon noted for his charisma, his smile. Dr. San Man being reared in Japan, as the son of a Colonel in the United States Army, allowed him to travel extensively throughout the U.S. and Far East Asia. Dr. San Man has visited Morocco and Northern Africa were he enjoyed digesting the diversity of how other cultures lived, worship, worked and played, adding insight to the inspiration of spoken word. In December 2004, Dr. San Man participated in the Ghana Project through Hillsborough Community College and The Habitat for Humanity of Hillsborough County. He then traveled to Costa Rica in 2005 where he assisted in constructing five homes for persons living in substandard communities. Dr. San Man began writing poetry at age 11 in Pusan Korea when he was confronted with the fact that the world did not live as well as he'd been led to believe.

Upon being convicted of a crime committed against his person he served two years in a Florida Prison. In addition, under the tutelage of political science, his upbringing and being black gave way for his incarceration being the most enlightening experience of racism as the foundation in the way we all believe.

These poems illustrate the majesty and strength of the woman as a reflection of the man. It is the desire of Dr. San Man X to share peace and love with all he meets through his poetry and short stories. Ignorance is the key to self-hatred and all other social ills that confront our society. He believes he is fulfilling his destiny by sharing this inspiration with the universe.
The world in which we live is full of so many extraordinary things that we see every day – a spectacular sunset, a delicate flower, an incredible landscape, a majestic construct or cityscape – these and many other such things which often present themselves as obvious subjects for the photographer. Yet at the same time we encounter many other things that may not appear worthy of being photographed and of transformation into a piece of photographic art; perhaps a weathered and rusted item, which may not initially attract the eye and draw the interest of the photographer. As an artist, however, I believe that even on occasions when there may be no obvious, striking object of beauty, that through observation, creativity, and adaptability; using my eyes, the emotions of the heart and by searching with the mind, that something of beauty or interest can be found in even the abandoned and neglected, and that the true beauty inherent within each can be captured and conveyed to the world through the medium of photography. In all facets of my craft, therefore – be it technically in the use of the camera, mentally and emotionally – searching deep within, I challenge myself in all circumstances to analyze my surroundings and to work with whatever materials are available, in order to produce beautiful art that will stand the test of time. In this regard my goal is not to be restricted by preset photographic rules of composition or technically in the use of my camera, but to approach the subject in whatever way is necessary to produce an image that compliments the subject in question, or tells the story of the moment in the best possible way.
My name is Rob Sardella, a new Clearwater resident, and have been painting professionally for over 30 years. I mostly do commission work, which makes me somewhat of a chameleon, but it is the challenge of new subject matter for every painting that makes it equally satisfying! For the past few years I have been branching out into the public art realm. I was selected in 2009 to paint two 6′ high fiberglass shoes for the Soles of Haverhill project to commemorate the shoe industry in Haverhill, MA. 2013 meant another pair of shoe benches for a similiar project. After we moved from Haverhill to Manchester, NH. I was selected to paint a traffic signal box in the heart of downtown Manchester for a successful pilot program of public art in the city. Since arriving here in Florida in February 2015, I was selected to paint 2 of the streetcar sculptures for the ArtLoud Streetcar Sculpture Challenge. My sponsors were the Florida Aquarium and The Yacht Starship. The Aquarium car resides in front of the Tampa Convention Center and the Yacht Starship's is located in front of where the Yacht docks on Channelside Avenue.

I am fascinated by color. Sure, that seems expected, coming from an artist. But for me, nothing resonates like color on canvas, especially exaggerated color that pushes the edge of the visual spectrum. I often start a project with a meticulous sketch, which acts as a launching pad for a burst of creativity. I primarily work in acrylics and mixed media for sculptures. When painting, it's that energy radiating within a subject that brings clarity to my work, allowing me to produce art with exacting detail one moment and artistic whimsy the next. A visual journalist who's always on the lookout for my next subject, I've taken thousands of photos for inspiration. I can be obsessed with detail, but this will always play second fiddle to my desire to capture light, motion, and personality while creating artwork that outshines the original photo reference. Unconstrained by style or subject matter, I have produced art for all sorts of clients, whether they're looking to enhance their living spaces, pay tribute to a loved one, or simply capture a moment in time. Occasionally my work will showcase my love and appreciation for graphic imagery but an underlying theme in my work is that not only reflects a joy for living, but it also tugs at the heart. I have been drawing since I could first hold a pencil and earned a bachelor's degree of Fine Art (Louisiana State University). Over the years, I immersed myself in my career as an artist, primarily as a creative director at a large media company. This path took me away from the hands-on creation of art, the experience left me an expert visual storyteller which is an underlying theme in my work.
Each day thousands of women are diagnosed with breast cancer. To honor those survivors and promote hope to those suffering with the disease visionary artist Lisa Scholder created beautiful works of art which comprise the Bodies of Courage Collection. All the models are actual breast cancer survivors who used their bodies as a canvas for Scholder's art. Each model is beautifully painted with an uplifting design that sparks not only beauty but portrays the courage these women faced in their fight against breast cancer. It proves that you can survive breast cancer and demonstrates how beautiful one's body truly is. Each model has an amazing story to tell. Stories of shock, disbelief, fear, disfiguring surgeries, harsh medical treatments and long recovery times. Their journeys have all taken their own paths but the common thread is their overwhelming courage and resolve to beat Breast Cancer….some more than once. "These women endured so much and the best part is their determination and attitude. They can tell their story with their body through this artwork, and show how beautiful these women truly are. This is a little art project that grew wings and flew. Each model spends between 6-10 hours being painted and photographed. It is a day that transforms more than their bodies. Their Courage shines through each photo." says Peggie D. Sherry, two time Breast Cancer Survivor and Founder/CEO of Faces of Courage. Faces of Courage is a Tampa based 501 (c )3 that provides day outings, evening events and weekend camps for women, children and families touched by all cancers and blood disorders. All programs are provided at no cost to the participants.
Well first and foremost, my actual name is Jeffrey Scot Miller II, however, I have always coined the name Jeffrey Scot when it comes to the signage of my work. It flows, and frankly, it sounds better. For the most part, I am a freelance artist, and I dabble in anything visual. Color, Visuals, and expression are three main ingredients in anything I do. Period. Art has always been a part of my life, and it always will be, because I feel art is a gateway it is something that will never go away or change over time. Throughout all the different forms and variations, art and it's visual concepts are pulled together to prove one, viable point: that art is not just color splashed onto a canvas, it is a story constructed through the eyes of its creator, and a story worth being seen by civilization. Art has consumed me, and it will never let me go, nor will I let it. Art ate my heart. <3 Much Love, Jeffrey Scot.
Born and raised in northeast Ohio, Sylvia Shanahan graduated from Kent State University with a degree in Graphic Design/Illustration. Ohio is also where she enjoyed a successful career in marketing, advertising and sales at several nationally known consumer products companies. Throughout her career though, she made time for her love of fine art–a love that started early in life through family outings to the Cleveland Museum of Art. "I would have started drawing earlier, but I was such an active child," she jokes. "I never had the discipline to sit still. I could be found playing neighborhood baseball, climbing a tree or exploring the fields and 'soon-to-be-built-on' vacant lots in our area. My friends and I were always hunting for new places to discover 'untouched' nature." Shanahan believes that these childhood experiences evolved into an almost reverent love for landscape painting. Where she once scouted for natural vistas, she now explores new territory in color and technique. "My goal is to represent more than what is seen by the naked eye," she states. "I manipulate and juxtapose color to create the energy of the scene. So much is involved when looking at nature. The time of day, the temperature, the wind, the fragrances, the noise or lack of….even your mood affects the experience. I try to convey the visual, along with the sensual and emotional experience too." Her approach to painting was noticed by Magical Blend Magazine in the mid-90s where her painting, "The Soul Remembers" was featured. Since then her work has won several local awards in Ohio and Florida and has also shown in Vermont and Georgia. She has recently attracted new collectors across the country and in Canada after being juried into Zatista, an online source for original art. Her work can be seen at Woodfield Fine Art in St. Petersburg, FL, The French Nest Marketplace in Largo, FL, Beach House Gallery and her studio in Dunedin, FL. Shanahan currently lives in Largo. Past and present affiliations include The Akron Society of Artists, Creative Artists Guild, The Morean Art Center and The Institute of Creative Arts where she teaches oil painting, colored pencil and private classes.
My appreciation for art was inspired by the paintings in musuems that I visited on my trips to Europe. I received the impetus to turn my love for painting into a sole pursuit, while studying with Frank Arcuri, a renown Bucks Co PA artist. He taught the dramatic "Chiroschuro" style seen in many century old European paintings. My paintings are inspired by nature as I explore light, shapes, textures, and relationships. I have exhibited my art in many juried shows in Flordia. My paintings have received numerous awards and have been displayed in various Art Centers and galleries in and around Tampa/St Petersburg, Sarasota, Punta Gorda, and in Bucks CO Pennsylvania. My studio is in the FIVE DEUCES art complex in the ART CENTER district of St Petersburg where a large selection of my paintings can be seen.
Artist Statement www.debslowey.com Where I have my portfolio as well as a blog. I also have a link to purchase high quality at a reduced price works on paper. I create paintings, which engage the viewer with both visual and intellectual subjects that tell stories about a personal myth, a legend or a story placed in a moment of time. The story can take place in the past or the future, and are based on the science of optics, biology and physics of the natural world. These stories are grand narratives that include a human and an animal, and other relevant objects that tell the story. These works have a familiar quality to them, and allow the viewer to use their own imagination to complete the story, in collaboration with the author. Science and art intertwine and my interest in Life, Social, Physical and Formal Sciences heavily influence my work. Curiosity and the importance of curiosity is something that drives my work. Through representational paintings, I create narratives that are slightly familiar and inclusive, yet use "chance" by setting up a prescribed repeatable formula by random access. Explorations in the paintings are juxtaposed to the structure of numerology and geometrical theory Golden section and Phi in nature in order to create a genre that communicates across cultures of geographic, philosophic and economic affinities.
Although I entered this life on Georgia's Golden Isle of St. Simon's Island, my ancestors first touched the sands of Florida's coast in St. Augustine some 400 years ago. I have spent most of my life in Florida, living on both the Gulf Coast and the East Coast, as well as in the Panhandle. I've traversed the Keys and relished the rolling horse farms and towering oaks of North Florida. I suppose you could say that I was born with sand between my toes. Having been born within a gull's cry of the beach, like so many of Florida's creatures, I find myself drawn to the ocean. I have enjoyed the ebb and flow of tropical waters and basked in the sunrises and sunsets reflected there. In an effort to reproduce the grace of nature's movement, I selected the medium of glass. This spectacular material has enabled me to capture the form, flow, and colors found within the pulse of Florida's shorelines. Each piece of glass has a story to tell and waits patiently to be fused with others to release its full beauty. My studio, Illusions Art Glass, is located in Tampa, Florida. Here I will continue to follow my passion, the creation of artwork in the medium of fused and stained glass – with the cry of the gulls and the whisper of waves for music and the soft colors of a coastal sunset for inspiration.
BIO Engaged in art and music from an early age, Steve Sperry has worked with a variety of materials and has sustained a life long creative energy. As a mid-life Graduate of the International Academy of Design & Technology, he discovered the artistic potential of design based software. Enthralled with the freedom and malleability this technology based medium afforded he embraced it as his primary means of expression. Infusing traditionally based artistic technique into the virtual creative process he blends the best of both worlds producing images that are vibrant, serene, ethereal and organic. Artistic influences are many and varied, including; Andre Masson, Rene Magritte, Jackson Pollock, Peter Max, Kenneth Huff, and most predominately fellow artist and friend Michael Braun. Steve's highly expressive images and use of color and form create subtle dimensions that seduce the viewer into a visual exploration. THE CREATIVE PROCESS The Images are created using various software programs. I start with a blank canvas and freely create images, usually with no preconceived idea of an end result. As the image develops, a theme or flavor emerges, from this point it is an exercise in combining complimentary colors, shapes, and forms. The works vary considerably in style owing to the infinite possibilities inherent in the software as well as an incessant commitment to exploring new ground. MATERIALS & CUSTOM CREATIONS Images are printed with archival inks in various sizes, on canvas, watercolor paper, and high gloss photo paper. Work priced according to size and material. Many of the works are a giclee series (1 of 1). Essentially making the work a one of a kind original. In addition to an extensive library of works, custom images can be tailored to fit your specific esthetics.
