Michael Kalish

Two decades ago, Michael Kalish had a unique vision and interest in fashioning sculptures from used license plates or “thumbprints of automobiles,” as he refers to them. Using this medium as his canvas, each piece of art embraces Kalish's ideals with his own degree of sophistication, imagery and distinct style. Currently Kalish and a team of artists, designers, and architects are completing work on a brand new monument entitled “ReALIze,” a larger than life, interactive, experiential sculpture that endeavors to capture the true ‘essence’ and life of Muhammad Ali.


JD Miller

Contemporary artist JD Miller combines chromatic expression with a sculptor's application of paint to create multi-dimensional images on canvas. The result is an emotional explosion of 3D sculptural oils, creating a unique mood and signature ambiance. Miller creates everything from expressionistic landscapes to abstract reflections of the human spirit. The early basis for his visual style was formed by emulating cartoon masters Walt Disney and Walter Lance.


Burton Morris

Artist Burton Morris’ paintings put an energetic and colorful spin on today’s pop culture. In his post-Pop style, Morris boldly projects an enticing mood of high energy and optimism portraying images that people relate to in everyday life. Burton’s art has been featured in the NBC hit TV series “Friends,” to the Academy Awards®, from the Summer Olympic Games to the MLB All-Star Game. His signature artwork has also transcended into brand marketing, developing paintings for Absolut Vodka, Heinz, Chanel and Kellogg’s Corporation.


Phil Romano

(http://www.samuellynne.com)

Restaurateur, investor, human-itarian, author and we can now add artist and creator to the list. Phil may be best known for his six restaurant concepts: Fuddruckers, Romano's Macaroni Grill, Spageddies, Cozymel's, Rudy's Country Store and BBQ and eatZi's Market & Bakery but for years, his painting has been his truest passion. Once Phil met artist, JD Miller, he found a sense of definition in his creation and began to explore the idea of reflectionism and 3D-oil sculpting.
