Resident Artists

Denise Bechtold

Gourd art and photography
Denise often creates seasonal cartoon characters from gourds and mixed media. Although her photography subjects are broad, she is primarily influenced by the flora and fauna of the Florida coast.

Daniel T Driggs

Paintings in Acrylics & Oils

Daniel Driggs uses different styles to create his works. His Out-of-Chaos series relies on abstract backgrounds, his representational art uses animal and human figures, and his landscapes and studio groupings take on a more impressionistic form.

James Hubbard

Printmaker

Although now predominantly working in printmaking, James mixes his styles to include marbleizing, linocut and etching techniques, while also occasionally painting with watercolors. In 2019, James took on the role of curator of exhibitions and shows in the galleries on the first and second floors and created the Nook Gallery for unframed works on paper.

CJ Laster

Porcelain Artist

CJ is an internationally trained porcelain painter who uses 2- and 3-dimensional porcelain blanks to create images of flora and fauna, as well as vehicles and buildings, in both traditional and contemporary styles.
