Lee White's first expressions of artistic creativity were quickly recognized by his grandmother, Lizzy, when the artist was just eight years old. Each day, she would set aside time for White to exercise his insightful talents. As a result, at age 12, he received the Mayor's Trophy for Artists sponsored by the Miami Herald. White's formal training began in California where he studied at the California College of Commercial Design, of the City College of Los Angeles. He subsequently received a Fine Art degree from the California Institute of Arts. During the seventies and eighties, White shifted his focus to seriography, and was fortunate enough to work under the famed master of printmaking, Warren Woodward. Shortly thereafter, White relocated to the Southeast, where he continued to work with and gather influence from leading artists and printmakers. This personal and artistic journey from Florida, to California, to the exotic islands of the Caribbean and, ultimately, to the Southeast has greatly contributed to White's unique style. His diverse cultural experiences lend a compelling and powerful range of vibrant color and storytelling to each of his pieces. White's prolific oeuvre — including his exquisite figuratives, abstract expressions, still lifes and collages — are featured in private and corporate United States and around the world.

Eva Magill-Oliver is synonymous with delicate collages that reflect and explore different elements of the natural world. She currently explores themes of 'transitions' after moving back from France in early 2010. Her main subject is drawn from abstractions in nature and organic environments, which she feels connects herself to the ever evolving and transitioning natural world. She began studying art at a very early age and continued this interest in college at the University of Georgia in Athens, GA. In the summer semester of 1998 she participated in a study abroad program in Cortona, Italy. After graduating in 1999, she worked for eight years for a publisher of fine art. The job allowed her the freedom to paint and experiment with different styles and mediums which aided her in finding her own personal and unique style. In 2007 she moved to Paris, France with her husband and was newly inspired by her historic and exquisite surroundings. Eva Magill-Oliver is currently living and working in Atlanta. Her work is held in public and private collections through-out the States and in galleries across the country.

Born and raised in the North Eastern US, Devyn Yeager has always loved the salty air and crisp breeze the coast has to offer. Family trips to the rocky coast of Maine at the end of each summer are what ultimately lead him to his original desire to paint. Looking out on the white, billowy clouds hovering over the sea and the boats sitting idly in the harbor, brought him an overwhelming sense of calmness. Even as a young child, Devyn yearned to not only keep these memories with him but to reinvent them into something all his own with an uncanny ability to capture his siren in oils and acrylics. He has always felt very lucky to have had the encouragement from his family to pursue his dreams and hone his craft. Yeager attended the University of Southern Maine in Portland to continue his education in Fine Arts. He fell in love with the bustling city and the new architecture that surrounded him. Throughout his years there, Yeager still found time to escape to the coast to reconnect with that sense of calm that inspired him. In his paintings, Yeager likes to personalize his images with the greatest impact in a most minimal way, leaving the final outcome of the painting up to the eye of the viewer. He loves to create his art in soft, airy colors and longs to awaken a deep memory within his audience of their treasured memories from the beach. Since the end of his years at university, Yeager has relocated to the south, bouncing around until finally settling in Atlanta, GA in 2015. "I've spent all of my life in one spot, and though I love home dearly for everything it gave me, I want to push myself to create out of my comfort zone," says Yeager, "but I never want to stray too far from the coast." When he is not painting, Yeager can likely be found with friends in Savannah, Hilton Head or Charleston.

Alessandra Cola was born in Rome, Italy on December 8, 1966, where her predisposition to art manifested itself at a very young age and continues to blossom today. Self-taught, the passionate artist projects her love for poetry in her stylistic works of art. Each piece tells a story and reflects on the world surrounding her, strongly incorporating her free spirit in every stroke. With Alessandra's vivid imagination, creativity comes easily and it can be seen in each gorgeous piece through color, composition and of course, the charming writing. She explains, "While I'm painting, I don't think in the painting itself; I think about my life, my ideas and my thougths about the world." Alessandra paints feverishly day and night- it's her way of artistically communicating with the world while sharing her favorite influential writing. Cola resides in a small artistic community called Playas del Coco in the Guanacaste Province. She is constantly creating and happily sharing her talent with the rest of the world through her bright and colorful art, pairing each work with her favorite poetry.
