Liduine Bekman
Liduine Bekman's award-winning watercolors of underwater life reveal her life-long fascination with the sea. "The ocean was very much a part of my childhood." She grew up in the Netherlands, a country that she says "was literally built out of the sea." Her lyrical compositions of stone crabs, turtles, and sharks are painted in a vivid palette of bright tropical hues, indicative of her home in Pompano Beach, Florida. Liduine Bekman studied at the Alfred Glassell School of Art and the Berkshire College of Art and Design. Her work was recently purchased by French artist, Christo. |

Frank Caracciolo
Frank Caracciolo's abstract oils on canvas evolve as the work is being created, with each stroke and gesture reacting to the previous mark. Layers and drips of muted color overlap and intertwine and consciously mimic nature. "I am very drawn to aged surfaces…weathered textures that express and seem to capture the passing of time." Frank Caracciolo studied at the School of Visual Arts and has had several solo exhibitions in New York City. His work belongs to corporate collections such as Lexis-Nexis, France Telecom and European Investors.. |

Robert Axelrod
Robert Axelrod's paintings and etchings are based on impressions of nature in the Catskill Mountains and the coast of Maine. For twenty years, Axelrod has been intrigued by the dense forestry, brooks, and mountain views of these locations. Each piece is done outdoors, where the artist "attempt[s] to interpret the quality of light, season and moods that the region shows in great variety." Robert Axelrod studied at the High School of Music and Art and at New York University. He has had several solo exhibitions in New York. |
