abstract interpretations. Her digital paintings were created on an electronic 

tablet using an electronic stylus as a brush.

Ms. Novak graciously donated over forty original pieces of artwork to Parkinson Place, a 

Comprehensive Care Center in Sarasota, Florida dedicated to a better life today 

for those living with Parkinson’s disease.  Ms. Novak has been living with Parkinson’s

 Pianist, Michael Royal has performed extensively throughout North America, Europe and 

Asia.  His singing tone is warm and beautiful and his ballad playing hypnotizes the listener with lyrical beauty 

and grace.  While his superb technique and sophisticated style reflect his classical training,

 he is deeply rooted in the jazz tradition.  Mr. Royal’s 

repertoire includes a collection of Standards, Ballads and Blues and well as 

classical masterpieces.
