And my advice to aspiring designers...
Research. Research everything you
can, spend hours on the computer
and in stores, checking the prices of
both supplies and finished jewelry. Research the quality of your
materials, educate yourself until you
can’t stand to look at the computer
screen and then do it again the next
day. If there’s work out there similar
to yours, either make sure yours is
better or evolve your work. Contin-
uously try to make yourself better, and
never create something you wouldn’t be
proud to wear yourself or sell to your
best friend. And above all, make sure
that you’re living your passion, and it
will never get old.

Vincent Feola
V
incent Feola began painting in 2007.
Without any formal training, he has taught
himself the blending of vibrant colors and
textures. His abstract creations are primarily acrylic
on canvas. Works are in the 30” x 40” size and soon
will be much larger. His love of bright colors comes
from his admiration of Peter Max after a chance
meeting in early 2006.
“Meeting Peter Max was very inspirational early
in my career,” says Vincent, “I can only dream of
reaching anywhere near his brilliance and passion
for his art.” With the support of his beautiful wife
Maria and the support from his family and friends,
Vincent’s creations will continue.
He can be reached at vfeola@tropical.com

Christopher Fay
“R
ecognizing beautiful art around us
constantly is a
gift and skill that comes from
viewing the world through the
Artist’s Eye,” Christopher Fay
has developed the patience and
imagination to recognize it.
“From there,” he adds, “each
image calls for its own composition. With the onset of digital
photography and many digital
photography advancements,
new worlds have opened a new
age of creating high-quality
photographic artwork.
By using various techniques
and tools to enhance regular
photographs, spectacular results
can be achieved in the finished
image.
Christopher Fay was raised
in Northern California by Artist
parents; always being mindful,
curious and attentive to all the
sights, wonders and possibilities around him.
Among many, great projects,
Fay had secured and managed
the digital image reconstruction
for the Ansel Adams Trust in
San Francisco. He has spearheaded an industrious project
to map out Palm Beach on the
Virtual Tour site of www.CitAllTours.com.
And for the last 8 years,
Christopher has committed a
full-time effort on his Commercial and Fine Art Photography.
