Sandee Mahler has been painting since childhood, carrying forward her German lineage name meaning “Fine Painter.” What began with watercolors grew into acrylics, textured acrylics, and eventually a career shift from faux finishing and murals to full-time fine art.

Her large-scale background translates into canvases alive with movement, texture, and intuitive expression, often blending abstract with representational elements. Sandee is especially known for her commissioned works, where her unique energy and style shine through.

Beyond her own art, Sandee runs her gallery and studio, teaching classes that encourage students to paint intuitively and explore creativity with texture and tools. Her sessions, open year-round to beginners and seasoned painters alike, are designed to be fun, inspiring, and healing.

Today, she continues to share her passion as both a teacher and co-president of the Naples Art District.

A self-taught sculptor from Puglia, Italy, he approaches stone with curiosity, allowing form to emerge naturally through movement and softness. After years in southern Italy, he spent seven years immersed in Asia—India, China, and Tibet—before returning to Europe in 2007.

He began working with pietra leccese, creating accessible works such as lamps, sculptures, and jewel-cases, while also exploring painting for its therapeutic value. By 2016, his practice evolved into carving harder stones like marble, granite, and onyx, embracing the demanding tools, time, and open space these materials require.
