In the Fredericksburg artist community, Adam DeSio was known as a hard worker. As a tireless supporter of other artists. And as a multifaceted creator who didnât put much stock in trends. He created because he had a compulsion to create. He was a true artist.
His life was cut short by cancer last year. DeSio, a painter, photographer and graphic designer, died on Jan. 13, 2020, at the age of 42. His friend and fellow member at Art First Gallery Casey Shaw said, âHe was still so young. There was no telling where his work would go long term.â

Two 45-foot Chesapeake Bay wooden deadrise workboats, a Canadian Provincial 45-foot fiberglass boat and three Georgia built Carolina Skiffs constitute a small commercial fishing fleet.
Partners Chris Belvin of Tappahannock, Va., and Michael Shackelford of Gloucester County, Va., own, work and maintain this small fleet of boats.
“We’ve got a lot of boats between us, and we need a lot of boats,” says Belvin who, along with his partner, works from several commercial fishing licenses in Virginia’s portion of Chesapeake Bay and Atlantic Ocean.
