Fine Art Photographer Duke Wells has resigned as Executive Director of Popopstudios, effective September 1, 2016.

After four years of administrative responsibilities, Duke & Lisa Wells are resigning their management positions at Popopstudios to focus more on their personal art practices and to devote more time to the Bahamian Project, which is entering its fourth year of successful operations.

“Duke Wells is a longstanding member of the Popopstudios artist community. His dedication to not only his craft but also to the administrative stability of Popopstudios has been of great benefit to us all,” said Founder & Creative Director John Cox.

Lisa, a painter, fine art photographer and graphic artist will continue to work out of her studio at Popop. Duke, known internationally for his fine art photography and portraits, will also continue working out of his large photo studio building on the Popop grounds. Both Lisa and Duke will continue as working artists and enthusiastic members of the Popoptudios art community.

Going forward, management inquiries should be directed to either John Cox or Heino Schmid.
