VIEW GALLERY ART Bill Chambers I am a professional nature photographer based out of Milton, Florida and the owner of Simply Nature Art. I was born and reared in Alabama and moved to Gulf Breeze in 1983 and have called Florida home ever since. I can usually be found photographing the beautiful beaches of Santa Rosa Island or in my favorite places, the marshes and swamps in the panhandle and central Florida. I shoot what pleases me, in a style that’s comfortable for me. It’s very important to me to stress the fragility of nature, especially here in Florida. Our beautiful beaches have been ravaged by development, nature’s fury, and lack of human understanding. Our natural springs are suffering greatly under the strain of nitrate pollution, over-pumping for irrigation, and from over development. We lose more and more of natural Florida every day and soon enough there will be precious little remaining. I plead for everyone to become involved in saving what remains of the REAL Florida. I am a proud member of both Nature First and the North American Nature Photography Association. Both organizations promote strong ethical behavior in terms of prioritizing the well-being of nature, animals, and the environment over photography. https://www.simplynatureart.com/

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/

I believe there is a story behind every subject and my creativity stems from exploring and interpreting those stories. Simple everyday objects have “voices” when seen within a dramatic story. Familiar landscapes become more beautiful when interpreted within a story. And the stories are explored and defined by light, color and composition.

VIEW GALLERY ART Carol Babington I was an only child until age 6. My mother was an artist and gave me crayons and books to color. Every drawing I made was a masterpiece. She took home movies of my pictures. To this day, I still show my pictures to whoever will look. I never received any formal art education until I returned to college for an art degree at age 62. I had, however, completed several art projects along the way. As a realtor, I re-decorated homes and re-modeled several for re-sale with my partner. https://www.carolbabingtonart.com/

< Back To Artists Page VICTORIA DUGGER Athens, GA BIO Victoria Dugger is a visual artist currently based in Athens, Georgia. She holds a BFA from Columbus State University (2016) and an MFA in Painting from the Lamar Dodd School of Art at the University of Georgia (2022). Dugger works in painting, mixed media, and sculpture, creating pieces that challenge traditional categories and explore new modes of self-expression and embodiment. Her work examines her identity as a Black, disabled woman, blending playful compositions with grotesque imagery. In July 2021, Dugger had her debut solo show "Out of Body" with Sargent’s Daughters in New York City, which received attention from Vogue, Hyperallergic, artnet, ARTnews, Whitehot Magazine, and artdaily. She was also selected as a 2023 Georgia Woman to Watch by the National Museum for Women in the Arts and has been featured in FRIEZE and The New York Times. Dugger is represented by Sargent’s Daughters. ARTIST STATEMENT As a disabled Black woman, I have a desire for people to accept or appreciate me for both my surface and what’s below it; to humanize me not because of my appearance, but despite it. My paintings channel the complexity of my identity. Through bold colors, sly references to art history, fractured patterns, and overflowing viscera. I create a surface of works that are richly layered, both demanding attention and refusing any simple legibility. My anthropomorphic figures are another way for me to visualize my own body. Their irregular extremities are intended to express a state of atrophy—a wasting away of muscles—which is a symptom of many physical disabilities. I render them joyful and beautiful, reclining and covered in gems. The sculptures’ long, lumpy limbs are adorned with pearls, sparkles, colorful braids, and other markers of exuberant femininity. Ambivalence is a core theme in my work. These figures exist on the border of abstraction and representation. It is impossible to tell if they are inside or outside, or if they show the interior or exterior of their bodies. I’m interested in the evocation of nostalgia for girlhood, while also imagining possible futures. Neither utopian nor dystopian, I instead produce bodies that refuse to be contained.
