Showing in various media; paintings, photography, and sculpture and featuring Jacksonville’s well known local artists Tonsenia Yonn, Matthew Winghart, Gary Mack, Sid Earley, Michelle Hampton, Shayna Raymond, Ken Daga and more. Each artist has been asked to explore themselves and the theme to present unique original works featuring one common theme, Candy.

Opening reception Friday November 30th, 2012 from 6-10pm. A selection of fine wines paired with hors d’oeuvres will be served. Artists will be on hand to discuss works with collectors and admirers.

Pezography is a series based on nostalgia and whimsy as seen through the contemporary lens of
artist Matthew Winghart.

Each larger than life image is a portrait of the childhood icon displayed beside it.  Composed with reverence, humor, and ambitious attention to detail this series offers the viewer the rare moment to embrace fun in their every day.
