Robert G. Woods

Visual Arts: 3D

Originally from Pennsylvania, our family moved to Tampa in the late 60s. I was always tinkering, by building and transforming bikes into choppers. My education came with the influences of the construction industry. As a hobby I would create unique items like a sidecar for my motorcycle. I was given the opportunity to fabricate and assist in designing sculptures for other artists. I realized my own passion for this creativity and retired from the construction industry and now pursue my own artistic journey. I combine stainless steel, cold steel, brass, paint and sometimes blown glass materials to create my own unique sculptures. I use various welding techniques which employs MIG and TIG welding. Every design I create is finished with a baked on powder coat for protection of the outside elements, since most of my commissioned works are exterior installations. I have accomplished numerous sculptures in various sizes up to 18 feet in height. I would love to create a Robert G. Woods Original Sculpture for you.

Dee Youmans-Miller

My style is called Split Realism and combines elements such as realistic faces, landscapes, found objects or graphic elements. I contrast these with each other, developing a different context to the work. My images tell stories with their layers of elements, creating its very own narrative. The hundreds of objects in my studio capture the “voice” of the work. Drawn in by the depth and richness, the compositions are woven together producing art that is tapestry-like in its richness. With an extensive background in both graphic and fine art, and degrees in art history and art education, I possess a wide perspective from which to draw. I tend to pull inspiration from each, so that my work has references to various art styles and techniques that blend into one image.

Evie Zimmer

Visual Arts: 2D

Evie Zimmer is an American artist creating and teaching in Tampa, Florida. Her early work consists mainly of traditional portrait paintings, although she had always been drawn to the intricate design and energetic beauty of op-art. Eventually, Evie began to explore her op-art fascination and her work blossomed into her current mesmerizing style. Evie’s work has been described as a “strange loop” of process and product. Her oil paintings radiate an inherent energy field not unlike traditional mandalas with acidic colors transforming into soothing pastels, and geometric patterns melting into exotically organic shapes. Recently, Evie’s paintings have become more floral and symmetric yet still maintain her unique and recognizable abstract style. Evie is quite active in the arts community both locally and nationally. Her work has been shown, sold, and published across the country including New York City, Art Basel Miami, Palm Springs, Ca., various publications and online shows, and digital billboard displays in Baltimore and on Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. Evie is constantly creating new work from her studio in Tampa where she welcomes visitors and students.
