Tracy Host

Einstein described art as an irresistible urge. Tracy chose to express this urge by allowing the painting to choose its own path. Heavily influenced by the school of abstract expressionism, her non-representational work is a coupling of bold colors and lyrical lines.

When an idea, thought, or memory presents itself to Tracy, she employs various artistic elements to give it life. Her paintings express their personalities through color either washed across the canvas or applied in thick layers to the surface. Movement is established with the element of line. Sometimes demanding in nature, the line work in her paintings directs the viewer's eye.

Tracy has worked as a professional artist for most of the past ten years. Her work is included in private collections across the nation. She is represented by galleries and art brokers in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Georgia.

Jackie Longino Davidson is a self-taught contemporary artist. Originally from Louisville Kentucky, she began painting at an early age. "I am happiest when I have a brush in hand, a palette of paint and a canvas before me. Thoughts and emotions that are usually guarded are revealed to the world through my art."

Candy Campbell Bembry

Candy grew up surrounded by water and music. Her mother was an opera singer, her father a jazz musician, boat Captain, and school teacher. . A red headed freckle face tom girl, she spent her summers catching crabs and selling them at Andersen's Marina. A profound love for the South, art, music and the Coast developed.

Candy graduated from the University of South Alabama with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and a Masters Degree in Counseling. In college, she managed a stained glass studio where she taught all levels of stained glass. Here she developed a fascination with glass but was unable to achieve the results she desired. With a background in painting, she wanted more flexibility than stained glass offered and she began making mosaics. Her mosaics could be described as paintings made of glass.

Candy's personal history serves as a motivation for her work. The process of making a mosaic is very tedious and time consuming. Many of her mosaics contain thousands of pieces of glass. The reward comes from seeing a piece come to life. Her artwork is a vehicle for self expression and a time to contemplate thoughts and ideas.

Candy spent several years in the mid-west. After loosing her husband to pancreatic cancer, Candy returned to her roots. She now resides in Daphne, Alabama with her three children.
