    Chris Bodor
    Literature: Poetry
    Chris Bodor left his New York City job of ten years and moved to Saint Augustine, Florida in the summer of 2003. In New York he was known as the “Train of Thought Commuter”, because of the volumes of poetry that he composed in hand written notebooks while traveling to and from work. With a commute shortened from three hours to three minutes in Florida, Bodor began the arduous task of reinventing himself. In August of 2009 he started up the Ancient City Poets and launched a once a month poetry reading series that still gathers to this day. Since 1995 he has maintained his own publishing imprint, Poet Plant Press, with his wife, Mary Beth. Chris is the Editor-In-Chief of the international literary journal, AC PAPA, which stands for Ancient City Poets, Authors, Photographers and Artists.

    Literature: Other; Literature: Poetry; Visual Arts; Visual Arts: Other; Visual Arts: Painting; Visual Arts: Photography; art education instructor
    I migrated to Jacksonville, June of 2013 and have established myself not just as an artist, but also an art instructor beginning 2014. I have been a lifelong artist, and an art educator since 1998. I manage my own private art school and studio, “Joyce’s Art School”, where I continue to paint, and teach art education to budding artists of all ages, in a personal tutorial style that students love. My lessons are based on the timeless foundations of art and design that are taught in schools and where I take over with individual teaching, and techniques. My school is continually growing where I live in Mandarin. As of February 2021, I'll be adding a second location for classes at the ArtBox gallery in St. Augustine. In creating my art, my subject matter varies as widely as my passions: from historical decorative designs to the realism of florals that I create in oil, acrylic, watercolor, color pencil, and graphite. I have an ongoing love for COLOR! Imagination is the key to art. My work is imbued with the freedom of study and experimentation. I love to focus on creating images that are diverse but maintain elements of nature that breathe life into the art I create. My mission is to encourage the 'what' and 'why' within the viewer, to guide them toward discovering the harmony and humanity that makes this planet so special. For more information on taking my classes or commissions, please contact me at: Phone: 904-735-5747 email: mladyjoy@gmail.com Thank you, Joyce Hutchinson

  • Amy Lauer Goldin
    Amy Lauer Goldin
    Literature: Drama; Literature: Poetry; Theatre: Other; Theatre: Technical
    Amy Lauer Goldin is a transplant to St Augustine from Miami Fl, where the colorful mix of cultures informed much of her previous writing. Relocating in 2014, the cultural shift to North Florida has injected new perspective and inspiration into her poetry and playwriting, much of it based on social and political satire and observation. Amy’s particular bent is holding up a mirror to reflect the times and ourselves, although in many cases it is a fun-house mirror. In July of 2019 her Summer Shorts Variety Show included a running sketch entitled Shrink Rap, a social satire which engendered such positive reviews that it is now being revived as a full-length play, including new scenes and additional characters. It is projected to open in early 2020. Amy continues to be an active member of Ancient City Poets, and conducts a weekly poetry workshop at a local center for addiction and mental health treatment. Her discovery of the therapeutic nature of poetry stems from her experience working with women in the Homestead Correctional Institute, a maximum-security prison in South Florida.

  • Laura O'Neal
    Laura O'Neal
    Literature: Poetry; Visual Arts: Other; Visual Arts: Painting; mixed media
    I am a visual artist working with mixed media, mostly acrylic.  I create and tell stories on canvas and panels; I also paint murals and attempt to write poetry and prose.  My word swirl serves as my inspiration and buries itself in the layers of my art. Born and raised near Akron, Ohio, I moved to St. Augustine in 1987.  What a wonderful road down memory lane it has been to watch this town grow and mature as I have.  I am most grateful to have raised my children here.  This town feels magical to me. I spent many years as a visual display artist and interior space planner for specialty & department stores.  I hold a BFA in Art and Design; currently the Curator and Artistic Director for ArtBox 137.  Our gallery had a rocky start, opening in November 2019 and Covid-19 shutting us down three months later.  We have held strong to our vision of ArtBox being an inclusive gallery that supports ALL art forms and offers our venue as an expression of that. My mission at ArtBox has been to seek out emerging artists and to lift them up so they have confidence in their Art as I once needed.  I am constantly seeking local opportunities for our members to go "outside the box." When not in the studio or at ArtBox, I am a teacher of Yoga and Pilates.  Four humans call me "Mom" and I am often surrounded by myriad young adults and rescue dogs.

    Taylor is a 24-year old independent artist born in St. Augustine.

She was heavily involved with performing arts all throughout school as well as photography, editing, and design in her free time. She loves keeping busy with multiple projects while maintaining a strong drive in evolving/shaping a healthy and sustained world. Tayler's greatest inspiration is nature itself and feels it's her duty as a human to do her best to preserve it. In 2018, Taylor established the band Dust Fuss. She currently sings and plays tambourine for Orlando-based psych-rock band, Timothy Eerie. She also plays solo acoustic sets and experimental hip-hop/spoken word shows.
