About the Artists

Cherie Raciti:

As Professor of Art at San Francisco State University, Cherie Raciti has won multiple awards over the years. Her work is included in many permanent collections including the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Raciti will be presenting acrylic, mixed media paintings of simple shapes and patterns derived from both the sacred and the secular found in many cultures. Part of this work is her Buddha Head series, a 2 1/2 D take on traditional views of the Buddha figure that invite intimacy with the viewer.

Nina Glaser:

After 20 years of an amazing international photography career that included teaching at the Academy of Art University, and the publication of two monograms: "Outside of Time" and "Recomposed". Nina Glaser has completed the body of work she felt she was destined to do. Although she no longer creates art, she has graced us with a return showing of a few of her images for this show. Glaser's work is both haunting and extraordinarily powerful, a personal favorite in the private collection of the FLOAT curator. Glaser has transferred her story telling and creativity to the Art of Hypnotherapy.

Marianne Hale:

Marianne Hale firmly believes in the power of positive change on a global level, and does everything in her power to send out this message. Development Associate by day, an amateur photographer all her life, she is entering the gallery scene with an intention to share her message of nature revealed with as many people possible. Strongly under the influence of fairy dust, she quite literally writes her messages of empowerment and belief in the sand, revealing what nature already knows.
