 Award-winning artists, Vicky Antoine, Tim Stevenson, Jerry Foster, and Ronnie Riner exhibited their art at the Marriott in Florence, Alabama. A portion of the proceeds from sales went to Shoals Family Success Center.

I have been friends with this group for a few years now, taking classes from Tim Stevenson and painting occasionally with the others.  They all had a very impressive display of oils, charcoals, watercolors, and photography.

Tim Stevenson owns Stevenson's Fine Art Gallery on North Court Street in Florence and paints in oil and watercolor.  He offers classes in watercolor, oil, and also drawing classes. His fine art is sold world-wide.

 My artist friend, Richard , displays one of his wildlife paintings.   His work is so detailed that it is almost like looking at a photograph.  His art is sold locally at "Artifacts Gallery". 

 Ronnie Riner has won  many awards for his works in charcoal.  He teaches art at Muscle Shoals High School.

 Pat Riner  makes unique jewelry pieces, like the hair barrette shown above.  The metalic and jeweled pieces have tiny insets of her husband's charcoal prints and have the appearance of antiques. 

Jerry Foster paints in acrylics and oil, but  specializes in photography.  He displayed hundreds of prints of photos
