Participating artists:

Sara Leone- Sara Leone grew up with a passion for all things old…..drawn
to nostalgia of decades past. Sara has successfully owned and operated a
thrift store in Bonita Springs and contributed to the News Press with her
own column “Finders Keepers”. Now mom to a 9 year old daughter and
Corporate America refugee, Sara is busy making art again. LIFE recycled…..

Stacey Brown – Southwest Florida’s Stacey Brown is the photographer known
as the one who wholeheartedly believes that chippy old paint, rusty things
and vintage finds make the perfect  scene for a portrait.  She is
typically
found lurking around thrift stores, in the woods with her three daughters
or creating in her cottage. 

A former junk and antiques collector, Stacey appreciates all things
vintage.  She has been spotted rescuing old stuff off of the street and
recycling her finds in creative projects.  Recently, she has decided that
taking photographs of her favorite things makes better sense than trying
to
keep her favorite things around all the time.  As George Carlin said, “You
can’t have everything.  Where would you put it?” 

In addition to photographing random stuff, Stacey loves to beautifully
photograph children by following them around trying to capture the essence
of their soul without them knowing it. 

In Stacey’s other life, she is a mental health therapist in private
practice where art therapy and creative solutions are liberally applied.

Ohio. McDonald has nearly eight years of experience in the jewelry
