Scott HiestandScott’s wire sculptures evolved from a school assignment to make an animal from a continuous piece of wire. The wire process has evolved with experiments in various types of gauges of wire with plaster cloth to cover the piece. Scott is a State of Indiana upland bird stamp contest winner and he also designed the Florida Bass automobile license tag. He has also done prints for the Wild Turkey Federation and Ducks Unlimited (St. Petersburg Chapter) |
Christophe CardotChristophe, a native of France, arrived in the United States in 2003 in order to pursue full-time art career. His artwork is often inspired from the French Impressionism and Pointillism. He works primarily with oil pastels. He truly enjoys painting Florida’s landscapes in plein air because he feels there is no better way to capture the hidden colors, revealed by the changing light. His commissions include three recently produced posters for ‘Absente Liquor’ and ‘Pango Rhum’ publicity campaigns.

"AFRICAN & ARABIAN PERSPECTIVES”Laura Stewart, Fine Arts Writer for the News-Journal, covered the Exhibition in the Friday, March 30th issue of the “GO! The Arts” section. She wrote, “When she began organizing the show, Connie Krzyzowski began with the complex collages by Cathy Barcroft. The artist lives in both Dubai and Auburn Hills, Mich., And had been at the Art League last year for a collage workshop with Jonathan Talbot. In her work, Barcroft includes shells, tiny toys, negatives and other exotic and colorful found objects that reflect her experiences in the Middle East. To round out the display, Krzyzowski invited sculptors Kathy O’Meara and Linda Knight to add a three-dimensional presence. They responded with pieces that combine fragments of rusted metal, wire, tiny skeletons,beads and other evocative material.” “The result is a dynamic ensemble”, said Krzyzowski, President of the Art League and the show’s curator.

Gallery Sitting: Please help us with sitting the gallery on Saturdays and Sundays from 1:00 to 4:00 PM. This is so important for us to be open these days for the public to visit our shows and of course our "Members' Gallery." Members Gallery: Bring your paintings in (no wider than 42") to be hung in the "Members Gallery." We have been successful in selling paintings from this area, but even if your work doesn't sell, it's a place to show your work. Visitors have often remarked about the work in this gallery, enjoying them sometimes more than the current show in the main galleries. And, we are proud to show off the work of our very talented members. |
FRAMING INFORMATION:Many new members ask about framing so we plan to have a demonstration and workshops soon on this subject. Our more experienced members recommend the following commercial framers: • Tropical Frame & Art Center (20% discount to artists), • Southern Paint gives a 20% discount on art supplies, 239 S.
