James Daniels

Visual Arts: Photography

I am a lifelong resident of the Big Bend area of Florida with an avid outdoorsman background. I see photography as a way to share the natural beauty of the area with others. I am continually amazed when I talk to people of the things I have seen they had no idea existed in the area. I started photography in the early 2000’s with a 35 mm film camera. I put it down for many years and got back into photography with an entry level DSLR. Since then I have upgraded my equipment and use mostly Sony full frame cameras. I consider myself a landscape and nature photographer. My wife and I formed our company, BackRoads Photography LLC in 2016. My work has been featured in several local artist shows, regional magazines, and I have placed in several local competitions. I hope you enjoy the natural beauty I have shared with you. Thank you for supporting my art and our vision.

She focused on the zheng, an ancient, 21-stringed instrument with a long and rich presence in Chinese culture. After graduating from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music, she traveled internationally as a soloist and performed at Carnegie Hall in 2003. Eventually, she settled in Florida where she serves as the Director of the Chinese Music Ensemble at Florida State University. Since 2001, Ms. Deng has dedicated herself to teaching Chinese music to a diverse body of students. She uses music as a tool to reinforce knowledge and appreciation of cultural heritage. Among her latest projects is an educational series called Echoes of Nature, which combines three key aspects of Chinese culture: music, calligraphy and art. Through creative partnerships and collaborations with composers, master artists, museums and educational institutions, Ms. Deng actively promotes various forms of traditional Chinese culture, and explores the boundaries of musical expression.

Rhett DeVane

Literary Arts

Humor is as essential to the Deep South as sweet tea, grits and mayonnaise. Laughter lubricates. Uplifts. Sustains. Beneath the clichés of big-haired beauties and all things made with lard, the desire for stories laced with laughter flows over us as thick

Annerly Dixon

Graphic Arts

Hello, my name is Annie Dixon and I am currently a freshmen at Florida State University. I am from St. Petersburg, Florida and am currently at Florida State to major in Studio Art. I’ve had a passion for creation since the 3rd grade and have been drawing and painting ever since. I have dappled with some organizations with design and graphic art and am hoping to find an amazing organization to help me grow as an artist and find my style. In high school, I started a small sticker business and have continued to make stickers, just on a smaller scale now that I am in a new environment. I’ve partnered with The Florida History Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida with some stickers and also with a graphic design company in collaborating with illustrating a book with a family friend!
