Aeling studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned his BFA in painting and printmaking from the Kansas City Art Institute. His works can be found in half a dozen museums, and in numerous public and private collections around the globe—including the American Embassy in Zimbabwe and three of the twelve Federal Reserve Bank regional branches. Scores of publications have featured his work over the years, and it even graced the cover of American Art Collector magazine.
David Williams attended Eastern Kentucky University with a double major in painting and graphic design. In addition to his career as a fine artist, Williams worked in the newspaper industry for over 30 years as an artist and graphics editor. He is the recipient of a prestigious Florida Individual Artist Fellowship. His work can be found in numerous private and corporate collections.
Mark Aeling holds an MFA in sculpture from Washington University in St. Louis, MO. Though he is continually engaged in designing, creating and installing very large commissioned public artworks around the country, Mark occasionally makes time to create personal work on a slightly smaller scale.
Dennis Angel earned his MFA from Indiana University, Bloomington. His Coloured pencil and metalpoint drawings have earned him numerous awards and fellowships. Notable collections include the Tom and Mary James Art Collection. Angel is also the author of Perceptual Drawing: Concepts, Methods, and Materials.
Carrie Jadus is an accomplished and dedicated artist whose primary medium is oil on canvas. She is frequently commissioned to do murals, portraits, and other works, often at large scale. Her work is vigorous and engaging, and greatly influenced by the impressionist masters.
Born in Hong Kong to British parents, Gimson has always been a creative. As a young woman she established herself as a globe-trotting makeup artist to the glitterati, prepping the likes of David Bowie and the British royal family for media appearances and red carpet events. Now based in Sarasota, Florida, fine art is Gimson's primary career.
Emerging sculptor Kenneth Charles began his career as a commercial artist, but shortly thereafter computers crept in, prompting him to make his exit. In 2009 he began his exploration of sculptural media, starting with clay and casting processes and adding metal fabrication to his repertoire in 2019.
Jane Bunker was born and raised in New England, but now has a home in Gulfport, FL. She earned her BFA from Stanford University and her paintings have been exhibited in galleries and museums across the US.
Located at the Arts Xchange in St. Petersburg's celebrated Warehouse Arts District, Soft Water Gallery is a contemporary fine art gallery showcasing exceptional original works of art by emerging and mid-career artists primarily from the Southeastern US. Though the gallery exhibits work of all sizes, we do place a special emphasis on larger-scale artwork.
The Soft Water Gallery name is a nod to the history of our location: the gallery resides in a warehouse once inhabited by the Soft Water Laundry, which was incorporated in St. Petersburg almost a century ago on April 23, 1923.
