Jeff Harris- As a South Florida artist living in Deerfield Beach, Harris is influenced by the sub-tropic foliage, forms and vivid colors
within nature. His subject matter comes from ordinary surroundings that most people pass by in their busy lives. These items that we pass by are those that he chooses to paint in order to call our attention to them as art. Being classically trained in the principles and techniques of art, his medium is oil based and allows for pure luminosity. He creates images that glow as in nature! His influence is impressionism through photorealism. Johanna Boccardo- A native of Venezuela, Boccardo, currently lives in South Florida and is a water colorist and children's illustrator.
