JUDY POLTRA
A multi-disciplinary artist based in Florida. Her embroiders on vintage garments and fabrics focus on women’s issues. Judy’s mother taught her hand embroidery at age 7, and she returned to this art at age 49, inspired by our current political climate.
This life size mannequin is covered with my childhood toys, and resined doll dresses. Her face is white as she recalls ghastly memories of her siblings and her self being beaten with belts. The toys represent happy memories mixed with the belts at her feet. Each belt represents a victim.

Viewers are invited to add their own belts to remind victims of child abuse and domestic violence that they are not alone.
This piece was last shown at the Boca Museum in 2013.
(My goal was to have it travel and keep adding belts enough to fill a room. I’d still like to make that happen, somehow.)

PATRICIO RODRIGUES
Patricio Rodrigues’ work is marked by the outpouring of virtuosity of his visual modus operandi in this case the draft. He creates a beautifully dangerous personal universe full of holes, leaks, findings and abruptness, in the sharp edges of their performances, as “something” endowed with desire, and that desire to be … the artist is palpable, and this danger is your best virtue; deadliest their patience before our eyes, because it will be almost impossible to escape its spell.

ADRIANO FICARELLI
Adriano Ficarelli is a street photographer who was born and raised in the multicultural environment of Brazil, with strong family ties to Italy and the United States. He is a West Palm Beach, FL resident and a U.S citizen. He was deeply influenced by his extended family of artists: painters, musicians, composers and architects. In his youth, Adriano was captivated by the 1960's, black and white photographs he found in his father's collection of the Italian magazine, DOMUS. Later, at university, he studied electronics, architecture, art history and graphic design. But he became a self-taught photographer as he began experimenting with black and white film.
Every good movie is an inspiration to Adriano. His photographic style stems from his appreciation of cinema. His artistic eye observes a specific moment in the flow of life around him and captures it to reveal the special qualities that attracted him. The photograph is a candid shot evoking an emotional response. Handheld in any environment.
