About the Artists

JONNA MENDEZ - Photographer

Jonna’s images capture “time” in an exciting way. She does “desolate” so well your heart aches. “Warm” is like melted butter because she has an uncanny eye and she has been recording such moments since she began exploring the world on her foreign assignments as an undercover intelligence officer. The CIA’s massive view cameras went with her into the vineyards on the Rhine River; then she took her Nikon F-3 on solo photo safari with a local driver into the Rajasthan Desert of India; then China; then Paris…and always there was Paris…

ANTONIO TOBIAS MENDEZ - Sculptor

Once again Toby’s output of heroic scale bronzes is on warp speed.Most important of these is Toby’s tribute to four of the Boston Red Sox players. “Teammates” depicts the legendary players; TedWilliams, Johnny Pesky, Bobby Doerr and Dom DiMaggio, at batting practice in the 1940’s. This amazing piece was installed at Fenway Park earlier this year. Toby has had several more major works dedicated this summer to include a Native American chief for Grand Rapids,MI and an African American biologist for aMaryland school.

ANTONIO JOSEPH MENDEZ - Painter

Tony’s triptych “Potomac Vista” is now installed in the new medical center in Cumberland,MD and is bringing joy to the outpatients in the cancer wing. It has set the tone for a new suite of paintings in this format and genre which will be a hallmark for Tony’s seventieth year and fifty-sixth year of painting. He most recently has sold another large painting which will be installed in the new Washington County medical center. Is a pattern emerging?
