Frances Roosevelt received her Master of Architecture degree at Yale in 1981. She worked for Venturi, Rauch and Scott Brown and eventually headed her own firm from 1996 to 2006 when she turned to painting full time. She says, “After many years of practicing the precise business of architecture, I am happy to be painting the landscapes of South Carolina Lowcountry, and the fields of Chester County, Pennsylvania, where I currently spend most of my time. I like to paint from memory, in a mostly abstract style, with a 3-inch brush. My paintings are informed by my interest in psychology and the evolution of consciousness.”

Alex Venezia is essentially a self-taught artist turned on to “the transcendent power of art” in a high school art class in which he was introduced to the chiaroscuro techniques of Caravaggio. Born in Virginia Beach, Virginia, he copied the masters at the Chrysler Museum of Art in Norfolk and studied with Odd Nerdrum, Colleen Barry, Daniel Sprick, Michael Klein and Jeff Hein, taking home first prize for still life in a competition at the Grand Central Atelier in 2017. Already a master of light, shadow and color, his Self Portrait at Age 23 exudes sober self-confidence.
