President's Welcome

Laura Tiano grew up in New Jersey, raised her family there then fulfilled her desire to move to Florida four years  ago, and loves Florida living! She always had a passion for art and worked in the Graphic Arts industry after college. Watercolor painting has always been her medium until she recently discovered the quick pace of Acrylics. In her free time, She enjoys golfing, gardening and boating.

Nancy Mich is originally a Connecticut artist. She enjoy painting the barns, churches, and landscapes of the Northeast. She moved to Port St Lucie eight years ago, and now enjoys painting the scenes of south Florida. She paints and teaches in  all mediums, Acrylic, Oil, Pastel, and Watercolor.

Lois Brusko  started painting when she was 12, taking lessons from a local artist. She painted sporadically over the years until she retired. She moved to Palm City in 2015, and after her husband died a friend invited her to PCAA. 

Her accounting background began in the 1980’s when she worked as Office Manager for a firm. In 1997, she took a job as Executive Assistant to the president of a corporation with the added responsibility for Accounts Payable and Receivables as needed.

Alicia English I am a diverse mixed media artist, but prefer acrylic because of its versatility, and use it in many ways to get in touch with whatever mood resonates. Whenever someone feels my artwork maybe we are vibrating through the same frequency? Every creation that flows into my subconscious through the brush to the canvas is genuine, pure and an embodiment of me. A guided visual form of meditation, freedom and automatism. Heart, soul and the innate talent of my parents enable a free-flowing expression, that is unique as our fingerprints. Getting in touch with myself internally is something that can be demanding, but it exposes itself in the most beautiful forms I can relay. I hope anyone and everyone can not only see, but feel, absorb and relate to my paintings on all levels.

I continue to exhibit my originals in New York, California and Florida

Diane Raymond grew up near Philadelphia, married and raised her family in New Jersey.  She is a retired art therapist and has enjoyed painting in oils and acrylics since retiring to Palm City in 2010.  She paints mainly with oils and acrylics, enjoys painting birds, animals, people, landscapes, seascapes, and all the beauty around.

Donna Jutila moved to Palm City from Connecticut 5 years ago. She has always appreciated the arts but it wasn’t until she lived in Paris in the late 90’s that she had the time to try oil painting. The Treasure Coast’s art community is now providing renewed inspiration.

Dana Meyer I began painting in my early twenties and was hooked from the start. My preferred medium was oil using lots of color and texture. I like mediums that accommodate brush, palette knife and especially fingers. I've never been able to keep my fingers out of the paint. I explored photography for three years, but always came back to painting. Living on a sailboat for twelve and a half years brought exploration into pencil, ink, watercolor and more photography. I have developed macular degeneration which has sent me in a new direction: abstract painting in acrylic where I can indulge my love of color. Exciting, frustrating, satisfying and never the same. Whatever my diminishing eyesight brings, I will still be putting color on canvas.
