Alonzo Adams
Alonzo's palette is dominated by the earth tones favored by Rembrandt and the American artists he admires, giving his work a poetic, pensive quality. He remains engaged in portraying contemporary black lifestyle, inspired by everyday sights and sounds that deserve immortality in a constantly changing world. www.theadamsgallery.com |  |

Willie Baez
Willie began painting in 1989 and has spent the last 15 years creating somewhat of a mystical, idyllic world filled with spirituality and religious themes. His paintings have evolved from representational portrayals in pastels to abstract landscapes and forms in acrylics. Viewers generally find his work introspective, tranquil and peaceful, often emanating other worldly impressions. www.artemosaique.com |  |

Alvin Clayton
"I paint feel good art," shares Alvin, "each piece should be a soothing, inviting experience for the viewer." His childhood memories of island bliss, brilliant hues and fragrant foods in his homeland, Trinidad, are intricately incorporated in his trademark style, which includes a broad use of blue. His vivid Matisse-inspired portrayals of interiors, jazz musicians and seascapes have garnered noted exposure. www.alvinclayton.com |  |
