Having practiced Zen for more than twenty years he carries that ZEN practice to his art and allows each piece create itself. Skip has been a photographer for thirty years. For much of that time he photographed advertising, corporate, and industrial work. In 1995 American Airlines sent him to Germany and later that year to France. While there he made the decision to take a hiatus from advertising, concentrate on travel photography and moved to Paris.

By becoming immersed in the stunning, tropical surroundings of Sarasota, her mixed media and collage pieces are informed by the color and richness of the local flavor. It is with intention and purpose that she uses color as a tool to infuse a happy, joyful spirit in her art pieces.
