Karla Pirona is a figurative oil painter whose work serves as a bridge between cultural inheritance and contemporary experience. She is the pioneer of Venezuelan Neorealism, a pictorial movement rooted in the psychological depth of mestizaje and the diasporic experience, which explores how identities are formed at the intersection of history, geography, and time. Karla's work has been shown internationally and is held in numerous public and private collections, continuing to document the evolution of place and identify through the lens of Narrative Realism. A local artist, Karla is a member of the American Artist Professional League, the National Oil & Acrylic Painters' Society, Bartow Art Guild, the Portrait Society of America, and the Polk County Arts & Cultural Alliance.

Dianna’s creative language is expressed through contemporary ceramic art. This exhibit presents a body of work that speaks to contemporary forms that are well suited to display on vertical surfaces. This challenges the viewer to see ceramics created outside the box of traditional 3D presentations
