Among them is internationally acclaimed painter Marcus Jansen who recently had his solo show at Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers in May, drawing over four thousand visitors to his reception.  He was also recently selected one out of only 18 selected painters internationally for this years ABSOLUT VODKA campaign like in the past Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst and Keith Haring.
