Thank you for an Incredible Wine Box Event!

Posted on by The Wandering Art Historian

My deepest gratitude goes to all those who attended the 2nd Annual Wine Box Art Show last week and all those who bid on wine boxes, those who bought raffle tickets and wine, anyone who shared the event on social media and all the artists who donated their time and talent.  The owners of The Barefoot Spa and Quantum Leap Winery organized an event that raised $6500 for the Zebra Coalition of Orlando, FL!

I am so honored to be counted among the incredibly talented artists that had their work included in this event.  I poured my heart and soul into the wine box I was given and was utterly humbled when a guest bought my artwork outright.  Knowing that every dollar goes to the LGBTQ kids in our community makes the whole thing even more meaningful.  Beautiful things happen when artists come together to benefit their communities.

I am writer and artist with a degree in art history who loves to talk to people about art. I have spent the last seven years building up The Wandering Art Historian “brand” as a way to connect with people who want to learn more about art. I give lectures and presentations and teach classes and host book club discussions with a creative or artistic connection. I also write about local artists, events, museums, and exhibitions to promote the arts in Central Florida. In 2021, I had a creative crisis. I struggled with authenticity in the art making process. I decided to make myself vulnerable and find out what a real, genuine Adrienne H. Lee artwork would look like. The process was challenging and emotional and revelatory. I learned that if necessity is the mother of invention, then authenticity is the mother of reinvention. I reinvented myself and learned an entirely new medium. The resulting artwork surprised me, and it will surprise you, too. Some people wish for a fairytale ending. For me, the fairy tale is only the beginning.
