Jeff Surace

Born in Media Pennsylvania in 1971.

 After graduating from Savannah College of Art and Design in 1993,  I became a student of art techniques and theories. I started my work on (Subjective Objectives) between 2000 thru 2005, a series of abstract wall sculptures created from found objects. Through this series, I learned how to create each piece to be different to every other. Thus, showing my style of thought, not just technique. It was also during this time in 2003, I opened part of my studio as a gallery. From here I learned how art through teaching, talking, and exhibiting works of mine and others can connect and support people who have a passion for art.  My wife and I are happy to have the opportunity to show and create again through Surace Art Studios. My different series on this site represent my work to date. I've started new work for 2012 and I'm so excited to see how it will materailize

Laura Dewberry Surace

Born and raised from a long line of Southerners, I find inspiration in history, folklore, and stories past down from family members.  I create my own interpretations of these stories in my art.  Often, the term “Southern Gothic” is in the back of my head as I create my art. If there is irony in my work, hopefully I portray strength and resolution through bold marks using simple, if not elegant, subject matter.
