Melissa is an Art Historian with a focus in Post-war Italian art\, and contemporary art theory and practices. At the Deering Estate she oversees the historic house museums\, coordinates and curates exhibitions\, programing and directs the Estate’s multi-tiered Artist in Residence Program including visual\, performing and literary arts. \nPrior to the Deering Estate\, she held positions in several museums and galleries throughout South Florida including the Institute of Contemporary Art Miami\, David Castillo Gallery\, and Miami Art Museum (now Pérez Art Museum Miami). She also manages and oversees studio operations for Leonardo Drew. She has taught courses in art history and museum studies for Miami Dade College\, Florida International University and New World School of the Arts. \nAs an independent curator\, Diaz has organized several contemporary art exhibitions in South Florida and New York. She received a Master of Arts in Art History from University of South Florida and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Miami. Melissa was first recipient of the Liesbeth Bollen Award from the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice\, Italy. \nBecky Franco was born in Havana\, Cuba. She escaped Cuba with her family in 1961. She completed in the United States a BFA with Honors from Pratt Institute\, New York in 1974. Becky has always been interested in painting on a large scale influenced by the Photo Realist movement of the seventies. Upon graduating\, she sought employment in the difficult and male dominated field of outdoor advertising\, where she got the opportunity to create large hand painted billboards and had the distinction to prove herself as a competent female artist. She became the first female billboard artist to be hired in the outdoor industry and join The Sign & Pictorial Display Union\, Local #230 in the U.S. \nShe painted large billboards for fifteen years and when digital computer imaging threatened the outdoor advertising industry making it extinct\, she shifted her focus by becoming an independent art professional gaining many private Painting and Mural commissions. Her paintings were featured in many publications including Newspapers and a Rizzoli book called Tromp L’Oeil At Home by Karen Chambers. Becky has always remained interested in the expansion and refinement of her skills. To that end\, after many years as an independent art professional\, in 2008 she returned to academia to attain an MFA from Queens College\, New York. In 2011 Becky was awarded the Artist Residency Express + Local: NYC Aesthetics at The Queens College Art Center\, Rosenthal Library\, Flushing\, New York. Becky’s paintings have been exhibited in a number of group shows\, a two woman exhibition\, and most recently at The Islip Art Museum exhibition about Caribbean artists called LA PLACITA where the New York Times interviewed her about her work. In 2013 Becky had her second solo exhibition CHOSEN at Soho20Chelsea gallery\, New York. Most recently El Museo Del Barrio included two of her paintings in LA BIENAL 2013\, Here Is Where We Jump. \nIn 2014 Becky was a Cintas Fellowship Finalist – Museum of Art + Design in Miami. Becky in 2015 exhibits in the group show\, LAST EXIT: PAINTING in The Audrey Love Gallery at The Bakehouse\, Miami. In 2020 Franco was awarded an Artist Residency at The Deering Estate. Franco now teaches Oil painting at Miami Dade College and continues pursuing her career as a professional artist.
