I have a TON of surprises to share with all of you in this new year and one of them is this… I hope you’ll join me for this unique and exciting 4-part lectures series presented by the Leesburg Center for the Arts beginning in January. Here’s how it works… We’ll focus on a different […]
Read more "Outside the Box Coming in 2024"I was given an amazing gift… the opportunity to participate in Nerd Nite! Nerd Nite is a FREE monthly event held at Stardust Video & Coffee in Orlando, FL. Hosted and organized by Ricardo Williams, Nerd Nite has been around for over a decade and each month’s event features three local speakers sharing something fascinating […]
Read more "Nerd Nite"On the heels of a fantastic and well-received fiber arts exhibition, the Leesburg Center for the Arts of Leesburg, FL brings yet another often overlooked medium into the spotlight. The Pastel Society of Central Florida’s member show – I Spy Something… Red! – is a delightful exploration of a medium used by artists for centuries […]
Read more "Pastel Society of Central Florida at the LCFA"I have had Artemisia Gentileschi on the brain as of late. One of the most talented and powerful figures in all of art history, she feels kind of timeless to me despite having lived more than four centuries ago. I think she’s a lot like Frida Kahlo in that way, or any other (art) historical […]
Read more "Artemisia Restored"Due to unforeseen challenges, last year’s Hauntingly Good Art presentation at the Leesburg Center for the Arts was cancelled at the last minute. This was a heartbreaking experience to say the least. Thankfully, a lot can change in a year and Hauntingly Good Art was revived for Spooky Season 2023! Hauntingly Good Art (finally!) took […]

The team at the Rollins Museum of Art in Winter Park, FL has done it yet again with Beyond the Medici: The Haukohl Family Collection, a superb exhibition that showcases all the richness and […]
Read more "Beyond the Medici: The Haukohl Family Collection at the RMA"2023 is proving to be a big year in art for the city of Apopka, FL. This Central Florida city is embracing the community revitalization power of large-scale public artwork and is now home to a set of stunning murals that must be seen to be believed. Down a narrow converted alleyway off of Orange […]
Read more "Apopka Murals"I’m embarrassed to admit that it took me entirely too long to visit Studio ArtFarm in Mount Dora, FL. If you’re one of the very few who don’t know about this creative wonderland, Studio ArtFarm is what happens when two powerhouses – PJ Svejda and German Lemus – of the Central Florida art scene get […]
Read more "Studio ArtFarm"Don’t sleep on this show! Change your plans, reschedule your appointments and get yourself to the Mount Dora Center for the Arts ASAP! I am strongly encouraging a sense of urgency because the Diaspora exhibition at the MDCA closes Sunday, October 8th and if you miss it, well, let’s just say… you do not want […]
Read more "“Diaspora” at the Mount Dora Center for the Arts"If you think you know what an exhibition of fiber arts pieces looks like, I can confirm that you don’t. That’s because the medium of fiber arts is so expansive and so varied that the results are quite literally impossible to predict. It’s in that vein of joyful unpredictability that the Leesburg Center for the […]
