Lynn Coppinger
I have had the opportunity of being the graphics editor at a local newspaper, an art director at a major printing company, and then a long career as the managing editor of a global medical publishing company. My amazing career as editor afforded me the opportunity to travel, meet incredible people, and I loved every minute of those 25 years. 
However, being creative took a back seat in a technical environment.
After retiring, the love and passion for art (in every form and medium) came flooding back and the need to create became paramount. Oils, acrylics, alcohol inks, graphite, colored pencils, watercolor, glass, and calligraphy pens are my new playmates.

Mary Roff
A true love of the creative arts has had me on a life journey exploring many wonderful mediums: bookbinding, papermaking, glass bead making, quilting, painting, beading, nature printing, weaving, dyeing silk, photography and enameling are a few of the many creative endeavors I’ve enjoyed.
Seven years ago, when Art Center Manatee opened their jewelry design studio with classes in basic jewelry making, I discovered a new passion working with fine metals and natural stones. The sterling silver jewelry I make now is simple and timeless emphasizing the beauty of the natural stones I use. In my jewelry you will discover small gemstone cabochons like amethyst and topaz or, my personal favorite, the jaspers that seem to be nature’s little works of abstract art. In my torch fired enamels you will see my love of color and simple lines.

Debbie Snow
Painting has always been a love of mine. Being able to take everyday moments and create a piece that will last forever. Whether it be in the whimsy of a plate of donuts, or making sure a bouquet of flowers will live forever. Each painting is a glimpse into a moment that has caught my attention, and will hopefully stay with you.

Susan Swanson
Susan calls her ceramics: “My Imagination at Work. Handbuilt and Colorful.” 
In her Bradenton studio, she creates a range of innovative pieces, from decorative wall plaques and fantasy birds and fish to artful bowls and other unique pieces. “Of all the mediums I have used over the years, clay has always been my favorite. It is perfect for all of my whimsical ideas. I’ve always been fascinated by the way clay can go from soft and pliable to firm and how it accepts textures and can be molded into a shape,” she relates.

David Tejada
To David, photography is a dance with light and shadow, an exploration of patterns and contrasts and a celebration of the fleeting moments that often go unnoticed. Each photograph is a testament to his fascination with the graphic elements that shape our visual world, whether it’s the play of light on a city street, the geometry of architecture, or the interplay of textures in nature.
Through his lens, he invites viewers to see the world through a different perspective, to appreciate the inherent artistry in the world around us. His photographs are a testament to the power of observation, the ability to find artistry in the everyday, and the joy of capturing the world’s graphic beauty.
