ANSWER: William,
Without any markings or signature it's difficult, but can be tracked down. Where did you purchase them? If it was a local artist, sometimes the local guilds can help. Generally, artists know artists. Are they new? Older? Is there any mark on the back?

Answer:  William,
I found this artist whose involved in an artists guild in the Florida Keys; http://www.kimiansart.com/contact.htm

I would try contacting him/her and others there to see if they recognize the work. Often artists know their competitors and colleagues in the area. Hope this helps. Leisha
