July is nearly over and that means summer will soon be coming to a close.  It has been an incredible art-filled summer full of surprises… including this one.  I am very pleased to share that I am the featured artist in the July/August issue of the Orlando Arts Magazine.  I have no idea how things […]

The Secret Supper

The 2nd Annual Art Lovers Book Club is in high gear at the Winter Garden Art Association!  My gratitude to everyone who attended yesterday’s discussion of Javier Sierra’s The Secret Supper.  Some really profound observations were shared and that made the experience even more enjoyable for me as facilitator. One reason I chose Sierra’s novel is […]

The Swan

If you have been following this blog for a while, you know that I am a huge fan of non-traditional gallery spaces.  Central Florida seems to specialize in them and one of my favorites is The Alfond Inn in Winter Park, FL.  The Alfond Inn is a boutique hotel that is an extension of Rollins […]

Unusual Frida

Saturday night I attended the Unusual Frida Art Show currently on view at the Downtown Orlando Library.  This show features 26 local artists each depicting their personal connection to the artist Frida Kahlo.  The artwork was wildly diverse, as were the artists.  It is so interesting to me the different ways in which people, and […]

Anatomy & Sugar Skulls

One might think the anatomy category of the 15 Squared Art Show would be the most challenging for an artist who doesn’t enjoy painting people or portraits and who generally doesn’t care for the figure in art.  But this is me we are talking about and while I don’t like painting people so much, I […]

Magritte-Inspired Landscapes

I am so grateful to be included in the 15 Squared Art Show currently on view at The Barefoot Spa.  The premise is to feature 15 local artists with 15 artworks each, but there’s a catch!  Each artist must create artwork in four categories – anatomy, landscapes, the 1970’s and artist choice (no abstracts) – […]
