Anthony Burks Sr. is one of the most unique conceptual artists in America. His paintings mix colored pencils, watercolor, pen, and ink, and are characterized by his unusual choice of colors. Whether depicting birds, animals, or people, Anthony is able to convey the intertwining of their beauty and their strength. He chooses his subjects because of what they mean to him, and he tells their stories through his combination of realistic forms, bright colors, and abstract images.

Scott Jefffries- Sunfest Art District

Artist: Scott Jefffries

Artwork: Six

Scott's painting is an irreverent expression of his sub-conscience, an invitation into his brain--a place where space and form are imagined from a decidedly different angle. But even so, each piece doesn't drown in it's own abstract principles. They are anchored in the sometimes comedic, but always earnest reality of Scott Jeffries. 

Renata Rodrigues-Sunfest Art District

Artist: Renata Rodrigues

Artwork: "Sustaining Life"

IG @renatarodriguesart

Renata Rodrigues is a multimedia artist from Brazil with a Bachelor in Graphic Arts. Her art concepts come from feelings and thoughts about whatever is going on around her at the time. The art processes from beginning to end of a piece are always changing and nothing is set as a rule, so the art changes and creates itself along the way without a specific aesthetic in mind.

Renata is an artist-in-residence with the Lot 23 program and she teaches arts integration at Palm Beach County schools, adult drawing fundamentals classes and private art and swim lessons to all age groups.
