Featured Artists
Robert Kamper
Bob Kamper has been involved with music ever since the 7th grade, when a female clarinet player took a liking to him. He has written and sung songs for about 60 years now, avoiding fame and fortune. He has written poems, a few short stories, taken a lot of photographs and discarded too few, and a memoir title "True Stories, False Memories, and Outright Fabrications," a bowdlerized account of his so-called life. He was in several "Florida Room" bands in high school (we didn't have garages in Key West), more or less taught himself to play guitar and piano, and led his first choral group on the Psychiatric wing of Jackson Memorial Hospital in Miami Florida. His photography mainly focuses on nature, but he has been known to capture examples of feminine pulchritude with his lens.
Sondra Crowley
I have been painting on porcelain for over 40 years and taught for a number of years. My painting is “overglaze,” which is different from most pottery which is painted under the glaze. Paint is applied in thin layers and fired multiple times at 1500 degrees. I have had PD for over 10 years, with one of my symptoms being a tremor in my right hand. I am extremely grateful that I have been able to control it and am able to continue painting. Painting gives me great joy that I love to share.
Linda Oncken
I’ve been an oil painter for many years and enjoy painting landscapes mostly from photos. My daughters gave me new paints and canvases for my 80th birthday, and so my hobby was reenergized. It’s relaxing, and it’s good to get away from everything while my caregiver watches over my husband, who has had Parkinson’s for 14 years.
