“I consider myself a creative artist. I always look for new ways to communicate with the viewers, through different styles. I try not to limit myself on only one medium to express my thoughts, and I’m constantly noticing elements that give me ideas to create new meaningful compositions.”

My name is Dana Donkle, and I am a marine science educator and artist under the name Octopus Garden Art. I express the interconnectedness of our natural world through surrealism--such as the unfamiliar allure of octopuses enwrapped in the obvious beauty of flowers. I approach my art with a spirit of exploration, embracing diverse themes in nature, varied brushstrokes, and a vibrant palette of colors. I share my work through a variety of platforms such as live painting, showing in galleries, working markets, and murals. I've worked at a variety of marine science non-profits, and leave my mark in the form of an educational mural at each of them, and hope to continue mural projects well into my future.”

My paintings celebrate color, form, texture and meditate on the relationship between light, shadow, and atmosphere. I work primarily in acrylic on canvas, using a combination of thick impasto, pour paint and brush work to create depth and luminosity in my work. My favorite subjects are all ocean life, birds, and animals.

Born and raised in the vibrant landscapes of Florida, I am a native artist with a lifelong passion for creativity. My artistic journey has been primarily expressed through the captivating medium of acrylic painting, where I bring to life the beauty and diversity of my surroundings. Beyond my artistic endeavors, I seamlessly blend my talents as a local beautician, adding an extra layer of artistry to both canvas and clientele. Through my work, I aim to create a fusion of artistic expression and beauty, celebrating the colors and textures of life.

My name is Tori and I am a local artist here in Tampa Bay. Born and raised in Alaska I find beauty in nature and animals and that reflects in my art. As long as I can remember I have had a crayon or paintbrush in my hand, and big ideas in my head. I earned my bachelors of art at the University of Alaska and haven’t stopped creating since. I primarily work in oil and acrylic paint, but also dabble in many other mediums such as pencil, chalk pastel, clay sculpting, and more. My dream is to become a full time artist and to make as many people smile with my work as possible!”

Hi, I’m Cassidy Wilson of Cassidye’s Closet. I have been creating art for as long as I can rememberwhether it’s with a brush on canvas or thread and fabric, I always find myself using art to process life. When the pandemic first hit and masks were no where to be found, I used my new found free time to sew masks for individuals that were part of my local assisted living community.

From that, I started my business Cassidye’s Closet and expanded my sewing to bucket-hats and other articles of clothing that were eco friendly while still being affordable fashion. I am a proud member of Conscious Art Collaboration LLC and have traveled all over the country vending at music festivals and art shows, alongside partners Aura Art and JAM Art.
