Tad DeSanto & Tia Wells are the newest members of Pyro Gallery and are exhibiting there together right now. That's what we talked about this week on Artists Talk With LVA, Tune in to WXOX 97.1 FM/Artxfm.com each Thursday @ 10 am.

Tad DeSanto is a 75-year-old self-taught artist who has been showing and selling his work since 2005. He has exhibited at the New York City Outsider Art Fair, the Kentucky Museum of Art & Craft, the Kentucky Folk Art Center, Craft(s) Gallery & Mercantile, Edenside Gallery, Gallery Hertz, Swanson Contemporary, the Good Folk Fest, and other venues. He has also sold work in Dallas, San Francisco, Phoenix, Ann Arbor, Lexington, Georgetown, CT, South Carolina, and Scotland! 

Tia Wells attended Governor’s School for the Arts in high school and graduated from UofL with a double major in Psychology and Fine Art where she studied with Mark Priest.
