Our art section this month features contemporary artist, Joyce Koerner, and fine art photographer Richard Stewart, both known worldwide.
Joyce Koerner, ,a former northeasterner, found her way to Florida as a summa cum laude graduate of University of South Florida with her degree in art history. She presented her early work throughout the East coast over the years and then began experimenting with cartoon images popularized by Roy Lichtenstein and found her niche. Joyce since is in demand all across America as well as Europe and Asia. Her contemporary cartoon characters find their way on walls in both framed works and large murals. The commentary in her work can be distinguishing to the owner and commissioned specifically to one’s liking. These clever characters are entertaining and a conversation piece for any collector.
Richard Stewart our represented Photographer this month in What’s Hot Tampa Bay is an
award-winning photographer having worked as a journalist and photographer for more than 30 years.
Receiving his B.A. in communications from the University of California at Berkeley, Richard then
traveled extensively following his dream. An early project was a book on Istanbul which he wrote
and illustrated. Now a resident of Tampa Bay, Richard focuses on fine art photography adding
to the collections of several private collectors. All of his work is printed using the state
