Shari Cavin, AAA received her certification in 2011 in Self-Taught/Outsider Art. She served on the Board of Directors, and the Ethics Committee for three years. She and her partner Randall Morris, formed Cavin-Morris Gallery thirty years ago. The gallery was an early eloquent champion of self- taught artists, insisting that their works be respected on its merits, and by extension, the intentionality of the artists be similarly respected. Their first exhibitions included works by artists that are today well known, including Henry Darger, Bill Traylor, Martin Ramirez and Bessie Harvey. Today they represent a new generation of international self-taught artists whose work remains authentic and visionary while representative of contemporary times. Over the years the gallery has helped form individualized collection of great merit, encouraging collectors to look at all art forms, and to stay informed. Ramón Cernuda is a publisher, editor, writer, and Cuban art collector. After 30 years, as a private art collector and researcher of Cuban art, Mr. Cernuda established Cernuda Arte gallery in October 2000.

He was a member of the board of directors of the Cuban Museum of Arts and Culture from 1980-1994 and served as Vice President from 1987-1990. On September 18, 1989, Cernuda sued the U.S. government for violation of First Amendment protections for confiscating 130 artworks of his Cuban art collection. The case of Cernuda v. Heavey was decided in favor of the Cernuda family, therefore eliminating all embargo applications on Cuban art in the United States. An internationally recognized expert on Cuban art, Mr. Cernuda advises private collectors on acquisitions and is frequently consulted on authenticity of Cuban artworks by major international auction houses. Ramón Cernuda has written for El Nuevo Herald, and has been interviewed and quoted on issues pertaining to Cuban art by The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Washington Post, The Art Newspaper (London and Madrid), Fortune Magazine, Art and Auction, Art and Antiques, Travel and Leisure, Latino Leaders, and Sixty Minutes. He is the author of the scholarly catalogue One Hundred Years of Cuban Landscape: 1850 to 1950.

In 2010, he edited and published a book on the life and work of Modern Cuban master Carlos Enríquez.
