Crista Fer Calvillo

“Magical Journey, opening your emotions”
Crista Fer Calvillo discovered her creative talent at the age of 6 and she felt like a new world, filled with passion and love, has opened to her eyes. Crista’s art is strikingly expressive and truly magical.

Tatyana Obukhova

Sarasota based artist, Tatyana Mishchenko Obukhova, has been on an inspiring journey to bring forth the beauty of life’s simple moments and the precious memories from her childhood through a collection of mesmerizing oil paintings. From a lush bouquet of lilacs on her grandmother’s porch to the sun-kissed views of Florida’s west coast, Tatyana’s paintings are very personal but can speak to the hearts of many.

Born in Ukraine in 1973, Tatyana was raised on the coast of the Black Sea in Crimea, in a family household of a renounced artist, her father, Victor Mishchenko. Her passion for painting begun at an early age as she was surrounded by the inspirational atmosphere of her father’s studio, his works of art and the pristine nature of the region where she grew up. Tatyana pursued her artistic calling and has honed her skills by absorbing the techniques and knowledge from her father and his art colleagues, and was set on a path of establishing her name as a Painter after graduating the Russian School of Art. In her time living in the US she has studies and worked along the side of Vladislav Yeliseyev, which has given her a fresh outlook on the beauty of traditional Art.

Today Tatyana’s work can be found in exhibits both near her home in Sarasota and in states like Texas and New York, as well as abroad.

Charles Wallis

Charles Wallis is a master painter that paints primarily contemporary impressionists and abstract pieces. He is a graduate of the Baylor University Fine Art Program. His paintings reflect a mastery of his craft and versatility in styles and media.</P

My art is an expression of my spirit to the spirit of others that connect with it. I seek to create a memory, a wish, a fantasy or moment of joy or peace in the soul of the viewer. I also enjoy presenting universal ideas in shape and color. I pursue ideas, color combinations or images  that attract my attention and paint them as an impression; or abstraction and some paintings are just for the fun of presenting something in an unusual manner.

Walking In A Butterfly Morning

It is always a joy to take walk on a warm spring morning. I do not know totally where I am going, but that has never stopped me before. I have learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I have learned that when I have pains, I do not have to be one. I have learned that every day you should reach out an touch someone. People love a hug or pat on the back. I have learned I still have a lot to learn. I have learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but they will never forget how you made them feel. It can make them feel like a nice walk on a butterfly morning.
