I photograph light, I capture moments, and sometimes I am graced with the unexpected.
At heart, I am a minimalist. In this collection are images of the surviving unencumbered pockets of Old Florida. For those of you who have experienced it, you know. I embrace the island life, ecological diversity of dwelling in an estuary, and different faces of the shoreline. It is difficult to describe. The tropical tangled mangroves, coastal lunar tides, species of marine life with flippers and aquatic birds on stilts, colossus banyan trees who have found a home here for centuries exposing their aerial roots. I am in reverence to it all. 
Psalm 65:8 - So that those who dwell at the ends of the earth are in awe at your signs. You make the going out of the morning and the evening to shout for joy.

Currently my art focuses on our unique Florida landscape, its dramatic skies, tropical birds and plants, the mysteries of the wetlands and sloughs. I want to share the design and patterns that I perceive in the world around me.

As Director of the COCO Naples Art Gallery since its inception, Scotts main focus is to Promote, Display, and sell the members art.

As an Artist, Scotts Mission is to Create and Offer Original and Unique Paintings to Enhance Your Living Space and Brighten Your World.

My passion is to create pieces of jewelry that are as unique as you are!

In the fluid dance of art, I find solace amidst the landscape and wildlife that embrace my life's journey. Each scenario I encounter beckons a distinct painting style leading me to embark on artistic discovery and expression.

In the years since she began painting, Missy has developed a true passion for transparent watercolors and the wide variety of techniques they offer. “I can get lost in a painting. The process itself becomes a meditation of water and color and the energy they create on the paper.
Creating luminous, nature-inspired images, including macro views of flowers, grasses and trees, and birds, Cowan amplifies color and pushes forward technique by experimenting on rice paper, wax as a resist, granulating pigments and other strategies aimed at exploring texture.

Joanie C is a self-taught abstract artist whose work is guided by intuition and a refined sensitivity to balance, scale, and emotional tone. Working in a primarily non-representational style, she allows each painting to unfold organically through layered color, texture, and movement, responding to the work as it evolves.
Her paintings evoke feeling rather than narrative, offering a quiet sophistication that anchors a space without dominating it. Whether presented as a focal point or layered within a curated grouping, her work brings depth, cohesion, and visual rhythm to both residential and commercial environments.
Created with an understanding of proportion, light, and spatial flow, Joanie’s paintings integrate seamlessly into thoughtfully designed interiors. Balancing expressive freedom with restraint, her work reflects a contemporary approach to abstraction—one that values emotional resonance, timeless aesthetics, and lasting connection between artwork, space, and viewer.

Naples, Florida based artist primarily self-taught, I create mixed media 2D and 3D art. My best selling art pieces are functional pieces such as Lazy Susan's, tables, wine racks and tactile beach resin wall art.

Glass is a magical medium with amazing properties, colors and uses. My work focuses on one-of-a kind organic decorative art that celebrates coastal living and the beautiful nature that surrounds us.

My intension is to create bold, colorful interpretations of the Florida landscape, amazing flowrs, and figures.

I started painting as a hobby after retiring from teaching in the public schools, but it has blossomed into something that I am very passionate about. My preferred medium is working with oils.
While developing my skills as an artist, I am open to painting many different subjects. I enjoy perusing antique and consignment shops to find a variety of objects to render in a still life set up.
I love to travel and have been greatly influenced by the art of the places I have visited from the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Africa. I am also influenced by many of the impressionist painters, with lots of loose brushstrokes. I now have a home in Estero, Florida and enjoy painting the beautiful wildlife and flora here.
My hope is that the viewer will have a sense of the passion that I put into my painting, and walk away with seeing the beauty of the subject in a unique way.

My paintings are an expressionistic transformation of what I see. My interpretations are described in strong shapes and color. Rather than documenting a specific place or object. I reconstruct it—reshaping color, scale, and atmosphere to reflect internal states as much as physical terrain. The landscapes, wildlife and florals are deliberately contrived; they are built from emotional impact, memory, distortion, and intuition rather than observation alone.
Through heightened color and bold shapes, I aim to amplify my perception of ordinary environments. Hills bend, skies press inward, and space and shapes shift to mirror tension and intensity. By reimagining the landscape or image, I invite viewers to experience the familiar as something felt rather than simply seen.
