The art world’s Queen of Arts, Bernice Steinbaum, is no BS. An incredibly vibrant character, she stands no more than 5 feet 2 inches, is as distinguished as she is colorful, and just as big in presence as she is small in stature. But to know BS, the legendary art collector who has always advocated for women and people of color, is to see that she is showing few signs of slowing down.

Terence Price II was born in Carol City Florida and is a graduate of Miramar High School. His use of street photography is a form of documentation which seizes on the highs and the lows of family life and the surrounding community. While roaming the streets of Miami he aims to “capture” moments that move him deeply and invites the viewer to share in this experience.

“My formal studies began as an undergraduate at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. I received my BA degree from the California College of Art, and my graduate studies were pursued at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. My aim is to paint the light and pieces of color that describes what I see. When I paint I am reacting to the excitement I feel when I see something that registers as beautiful to me. My focus is on the magic!”

Michael Williams combines contemporary realism with a minimalist sensibility, using an overwhelming sense of light to deconstruct figural landscapes. He develops stark yet delicate depictions of the human figure, leading to the scrutiny of candid and often amusing observations that provide a dialogue on social identity and self-awareness. This obsessive scrutiny, deconstructed throughout his work, is broken by implied lines and ambiguous shapes, which fill the entirety of the implicit space.

My imagery is derived from the motion pictures of the 1930s through the 50s. I’m particularly interested in this era of film and how it aligns with the concept of artifice via opulent and escapist themes. The subjects of my paintings are about the fleeting, the missing, and the unattainable, however as paintings they become the very antithesis of the ephemeral.

The multidisciplinary work of Patricia Schnall Gutierrez (including painting, drawing, sculptural objects, performance, and installation) draws its inspiration from a self-referential account of personal memories, situations, and emotions. Using distinct choices of mediums, household objects and materials, she creates an autobiographical account of the every day, drawing the viewer into an intimate dialogue that often probes questions of gender and sexuality. Through her personal stories, she shares a unique perspective on controversial issues facing contemporary woman and society.

“I tell my life story through concrete, color fields and organic abstract forms. They help express my thoughts and beliefs, serving as a narrator for my day to day experiences. Through my current work, I explore social behavior, depression, relationships, aging and prosperity. My personal experience with these topics help fuel my passion to create art that exposes the stable coexistence of different entities.”
