ABOUT the ARTIST

"I am a modern artist who specializes in creating abstract paintings. I was born and raised in the beautiful city of San Francisco, and I now call Daytona Beach my home. Art has always been an essential part of my life, but it wasn't until I recovered from addiction that I truly found my passion for it. During my darkest times, art was the only thing that gave me solace and a sense of purpose. It allowed me to express my feelings and emotions in ways that words couldn't. My addiction was a battle that took me to the edge, but through it, I discovered the transformative power of art. It became my therapy, my sanctuary, and my lifeline. I found that creating abstract paintings was particularly cathartic because it allowed me to be free and uninhibited. I could let go of any expectations or preconceived notions and simply let the colors and shapes guide me. Art has brought so much to my life. It has helped me heal and find meaning in the chaos. It has also given me a voice and a platform to share my story with others who may be going through similar struggles. My art is a reflection of my journey and a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Now, as an established artist, I want to inspire others to use art as a means of self-expression and healing. I want my art to evoke emotions, spark conversations, and challenge perceptions. Through my work, I hope to make a positive impact in the world and inspire others to find their own creative outlet."

ABOUT the ARTIST

frankpaintings@aol.com / frankferrante.com

Frank Ferrante graduated Rutgers University and Newark School of Fine & Industrial Arts in New Jersey. It was not until later in his career, in the 1980s, that he painted with John Phillip Osborne at the Ridgewood Art Institute in New Jersey. Osborne was influenced by the American Impressionist painter, Frank Vincent DuMond and his “prismatic” palette (originated in Paris, France 1880s). It is this method and palette that Ferrante uses with all of his paintings. Ferrante devoted all his efforts learning to capture the flow from light to shadow, atmosphere, weather and time of day in his year-round Plein Air (painting outdoors) painting sketches. He has been a studio artist at The HUB on Canal, New Smyrna Beach for more ten years. Ferrante regularly participates in many shows and has won many top awards. His paintings hang in many galleries throughout the United States, including The Daytona International Airport and New Smyrna Beach City Hall. He has been painting for over 50 years and has taught Plein Air and studio painting for over 25 years in and around New Smyrna Beach. He frequently gives oil painting demonstrations and workshops throughout the United States.

ABOUT the ARTIST

follow on instagram @robinsathoff

"Since childhood, I have always enjoyed drawing and would spend hours off on my own creating. I had several years in school, studying other things, which afforded me the time to hone my skills with a ballpoint pen while taking notes. Later on, I discovered the joy of painting and my work exploded into color. I paint with acrylic on canvas and tend to use very vibrant colors, flowing lines, dots, and shapes. My intent is to produce high energy works that play with the eye and bring life to the wall. I am self-taught and draw heavily from nature and creation. When starting a piece, I often don't have a concrete end in mind. This allows the work to evolve organically, building on itself. When a piece is really working for me, it feels like I'm just flowing along with the pen or brush to see what emerges. This process can make me feel more like a middleman than an artist. Either way I just want to make something beautiful." — Robin Sathoff
