Carey uses vibrant colors in natural settings to tell stories of the joy found in the natural world. “My primary goal is to engage viewers through color and brush strokes and express the rejuvenating connection I feel with nature. I paint the joyous life energy that pulses in nature.”
“The best way to build an art collection is to pay attention to how a painting makes you feel and move forward on the ones that speak to you. I consider my paintings as an energy that collectors will spend their lives with, and develop a relationship. I want to ensure my paintings promote a positive frame of mind and will be good companions.”

Largest Mural In Butte County California
August 26th, 2023 - Paradise, CA
The largest mural in Butte County California was completed by artists Frank Wilson and his mural painting partner Ted Hanson. The 2,700 square foot mural depicts five steam locomotives that one serviced the gold rush town of Oroville, California. The painted 3-D illusion has the locomotives set into individual bays of a round house where steam locomotives were serviced in the 1800's. Much research went into the design to make sure the locomotives depicted were accurate. The mural took six month of working high on ladders and scissor lifts. The project was funded by the City Of Oroville's City Arts Council.

Heart Of Ybor Contest Committee Choice Award 2023
August 23rd, 2023 - Wimauma, FL
WAITING ON THE TROLLEY takes you back to the heyday of Tampa, Florida's streetcar system. The TECO Line Streetcar System again traverses the City of Tampa's downtown area where you can ride these replica streetcars for free.
This drawing was done in colored pencil on Stonehenge paper. The trolley is sitting at the end of the line in Ybor City, the passenger is waiting for the conductor to finish switching the electric connection to return to downtown Tampa.
Starting in 1892 streetcars whisked passengers to and from Ybor City, Ballast Point, Hyde Park and Sulphur Springs. The bright Birney Cars were a welcome sight as well as the clang of the bell. Their time ended in 1946 after World War II but in 1984 the Tampa & Ybor Railway Society worked to get the streetcars rolling again.

Photographer, artist and former educator Arthur Miller takes photos from his collection to walls of Breaker Brewing Company Wilkes Barre TWP. PA. Luzerne County
Parsons native Arthur Miller started collecting old photographs as a high school student in the early ’60s. He’d visit antique stores and Salvation Army locations to hunt for photos of coal miners, coal breakers and other subjects related to the industry. As he got older, Miller expanded his hunt to glass negatives and original prints. He estimates his collection of negatives at over 5,000 with a majority of the images taken locally.
“My father was born in 1898,” Miller said.” When he was 11, he went to work as a breaker boy and he stayed in the mines his whole life; I don’t think he ever worked outside of the mines. His father before him was a coal miner and his father before him was a coal miner, originally from England. That’s the main reason, but of course, coal was the valley. It was the...
It Was A Proud Moment For The Creator, Artist Arthur Miller.
August 21st, 2023 - Wyoming, PA
FROM THE WYOMING VALLEY TO AFRICA, WITH PRIDE
ONE AFTERNOON, A U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT TRUCK PULLED INTO THE BREAKER BREWING COMPANY PARKING LOT ON NORTHAMPTON STREET IN WILKES-BARRE TWP.Government workers went into the brewery, expertly dismounted a 24-by-36-inch matted, glazed and framed piece of digital photographic art from the brewery wall and lovingly crated it for the first leg of its trip to Burkina Fasou, West Africa, where it will be hung in the official residence of United States Ambassador Sandra E. Clark.
It was a proud moment for the creator, 75-year-old artist Arthur Miller. Commercial photography was a livelihood for Miller for decades, but not a passion.
“I really did commercial work to support my interest in art,” he said in an interview one afternoon at Breaker Brewing Company, where his photographic art is on permanent display.
The artwork Clark selected is described as “a semi-impressionistic view of Frances Slocum State Park,...

August 19th, 2023 - Santo Domingo Este, Sa
In the ethereal realm of pixels and hues, a digital masterpiece unfolds – "Women with Hat." Amidst the canvas of code and creativity, an enchanting portrayal emerges, encapsulating the essence of femininity, strength, and enigma.
Beneath the gentle strokes of virtual brushes, a woman adorned with a hat takes center stage. The hat, a crown of allure, casts shadows and whispers secrets, its brim a veil between worlds – a portal to her enigmatic soul. Each brushstroke, an ode to emotion, captures the delicate interplay of light and shadow upon her visage, revealing a narrative untold, a journey yet unveiled.
Her gaze, a universe in itself, speaks volumes through the digital tapestry. In those eyes, one discovers the depth of dreams dreamt and battles fought; a silent symphony of resilience and vulnerability. The colors dance and meld, painting the symphony of her existence – vibrant reds echoing passion, serene blues mirroring introspection, and soft golds whispering...
