Velia Lala creates life size abstract paintings as well as unique body castings and sculptures. “I was inspired to learn the life casting process by the fascination of possibly being able to capture the inner and outer beauty of each person. The absolute beauty of uniqueness.,” she says. V. Lala Galleries is located at 30Avenue in Inlet Beach. http://www.vlalagalleries.com/

Marisol Gullo takes old furniture to a new level with her finishing touch and enjoys creating art pieces and frames. She finds her inspiration all around her. “I find my inspiration when I see things that are trash, discarded. Sometimes the things that people overlook hold the most beauty, they just need a little love.” Not Too Shabby Boutique is located in Santa Rosa Beach. http://shopnottooshabby.com/

Matt Lyons creates contemporary works on canvas with a message about people and life. Lyons, raised in the Panhandle, is “motivated to be a part of Art of Giving because I like the idea that those who have, come together to support those who have not. I like the idea that I
could use my art to help spread awareness in the area where I grew up.” Matt lives in Destin, Florida.
