Dan Waters, artist & poet
“The Island Influence is light and character.”
Kib Bramhall, painter

“The Island Influence is
the light on the cliffs,the ocean, The Ritz.The magic of knowingthe vision pits.Sunrise, sunset,my friends and their pets.The love I have known,the grace I’ve been shown,this Rock’s got a rhythm all of it’s own.”
Suesan Stovall, mixed media artist
