The Simboli tradition in art began in 1904 when Pietro Simboli came to Tim Simboli, already a favorite of Hardcastle followers, is a successful pastel painter in the Sara Simboli studied for many years with renowned painter, Frank Mason, at the Art Student’s League in NYC. Her love of 17th Dutch painting began then. Sara’s creative quest is to show how form is revealed out of darkness into light and how light is a penetrating force in daily life. Andrew Simboli has been influenced by early exposure to art which gives life to and fuels his photography. A quote from his favorite adventure photographer, Galen Rowell: “Humanity is all better for it when creative individuals succeed in communicating their life’s most important visions into the minds of others”. Joe & Gerry Simboli are graduates of the University of the Arts and have had a long and varied art career. Poster art has been a part of their work; recently a zodiac poster they designed from 1969 reappeared as a basis for a clothing line. In addition to their graphic work, Joe and Gerry have combined talents to create fine art wood sculptures. January 1- 31 - Gallery Group ... at Rest
