Both company's plan on continuing their commitment to Sarasota's local art community by presenting artists to their clients under the theme of "Artfully uniting the world of fine art and finance."
Panarella is on the verge of more major exposure with talks of a exhibition coming up in New York later this year. His style switches from abstract to figurative so smoothly, I'm a huge fan of his general aesthetic.
Check out his website. There you can find more examples of his recent paintings, sculptures and installations. Michael Panarella is going places.
