VIEW GALLERY ART Lucinda Bunn “I wish to bring joy to those who need it. And that is everyone.” Since her childhood living on the Long Island Sound in Larchmont, New York, Lucinda has always been a beach girl. While she began to love art at the age of five, she did not believe in her creative gifts until well into adulthood when a friend suggested that she create something beautiful for the world to enjoy, as a way to heal from depression. She began by painting happy furniture for children going into foster care. Over time, she began to play with happy, whimsical art on canvas, giving the paintbrush to her inner child to get the job done. Fast forward to 2020, Lucinda moved from Tulsa, Oklahoma to be in her bliss. Playing on the Emerald Coast shores of the Gulf of Mexico, where she paints and writes, alongside her roommate, Atlas the One Eyed Cat.

VIEW GALLERY ART Nancy Jones Hayes I am a ceramic artist who grew up in the Walton/Okaloosa County area and am currently living in Destin, FL. I work mainly with stoneware and porcelain clays and have a mild obsession with making flowers. Creating them brings me to a meditative state and the flowers evolve as they are ‘called to be’ with no two alike. Some pieces include one or two....some have 100s. When I start to create a piece, I only have a rough concept of what it might be. Each piece slowly evolves and changes and I am always surprised by the end results. Reflecting real life, the piece is sometimes far from what it started out to be. I have enjoyed training and learning techniques from both ceramic and fine artists and from observing the works of ancient Masters. I am drawn to the colors of the beautiful Florida Emerald Coast waters. My glaze palette often includes the variations of those colors I observe daily. https://www.shugspottery.com/

VIEW GALLERY ART Debra Makar Living in NW Florida I am always in awe of the beauty around us. Recently retired I enjoy the time to pursue my passion and develop my style. With the generous support and encouragement of Gagnon Atelier, I have found the freedom to express myself. Working mostly in oils and acrylics I strive to convey the feeling of nature and the spirit of life. My art journey continues as a way to share this.

VIEW GALLERY ART Staci Dabson Staci brings the clarity and insight of a licensed clinical therapist into rich juxtaposition with a torrential amalgam of geek subculture, the vibrance of those 80’s-90’s punk-rock years, and a fresh alternative look to explore in strokes what the heart could never explicate in translated words of the mind. Staci’s art, though resistant to classification, mingles pop-art and surrealism with the function of nature in allegory. As a licensed therapist previously entrenched in crisis work, Staci has delved into the profoundest depravities our passions can at times engender. Having broken free from the field of therapy after 12 years, Staci discovered her art connects with people in a positive way that influences lasting change on a scale about which therapists only dream. https://sndabsonart.com/

VIEW GALLERY ART John Ottesen I began photography as a volunteer for the Niceville High School Band, capturing my daughter and members of the band on game days. Being a band photographer led to an interest in all things photographic. I soon took an interest in black and white landscape. Discovering landscape photography was a fortunate choice, as during Covid I found myself exploring wide open spaces of state and national parks. My continued interest led me to books by Ansel Adams and Ted Grant, where I learned compositional and lighting techniques that I would apply to my work. An appreciation of film led me to the purchase of Hasselblad and pinhole film cameras, which I would fall in love with, and use to explore interesting lighting and serene landscapes.

VIEW GALLERY ART Kristine Senft Originally from the Chicago area, I have moved many times in my corporate career – living in and visiting many extraordinary places in my life. These places have had an impact on me and stay in my memories – ranging from a quiet walk in a dense forest in southern Germany to the same quiet walk on the white sugar sand beaches along the Gulf of Mexico, to experiencing the grandeur and opulence of Vienna to the incredible colors of light in New York City, Shanghai and Tokyo to the heat and amazing taste of southern Louisiana, among others. Although living life in a busy corporate sales setting, I always have found time to be creative. Some of my best memories were making stained glass windows and lamps with my father, who was very creative himself. I then found passion in different types of mediums – using repurposed glass and epoxy in my work, negative painting techniques, acrylics and mediums and collage. I am self-taught and have thoroughly enjoyed the self-exploratory road I continue to travel down. Now that I am retired, I am excited to reveal more about myself in this journey. https://www.kristinesenftart.com/
