Featured artists
Andrew Magee
Andrew’s practice incorporates a number of techniques including painting, printmaking, photography and drawing. His work is primarily focused on the parallels between art and hermetic and pseudo-spiritual and occult practices.

Tena Smith
Tena Smith is a multidisciplinary artist whose work in a variety of mediums has been showcased and sold in multiple galleries and boutiques across the state of Florida since 2007.

She describes her cyanotype process at Alternative Photography and she posts on Instagram as @tenasmithdesigns.
Mark Holman
A multi-disciplinary creative, Mark Holman’s practice initially focused on figurative subjects - both sculpted and drawn. Recently, his process has drawn on parallel creative ventures as an actor, musician and horticulturalist, evolving beyond the purely figurative to focus on human connections with nature in a more socially engaged way. The goal of Mark’s current projects is to engage community and encourage discourse, supporting sustainability and promoting healthier relationships with the environment.
