ABOUT THE GUEST ARTISTS
Kathy McCall is always looking for the perfect balance between the head, the heart and the hands – no matter what your craft, talent or medium may be. While I don't necessarily consider myself an "artist", I have been a "maker" for most of my life. Her well crafted sculptures also display a sense of humor and playfulness, reminding us not to take ourselves too seriously.
Carolyn Overstreet is inspired by the beauty of the beach, where she finds rest, peace and renewal. "The color and movement of water, sand and clouds draw me in. As I listen to the calls of seagulls and the sound of the crashing waves, I try to capture all that I feel on the canvas of my paintings."
The hyper realistic work of Sherrie Pettigrew has been shown throughout Florida galleries such as the Cultural Center at Ponte Vedra Beach, Jensen Studio and Butterfield Gallery in Saint Augustine, and at various venues through out Gainesville.
Gayle Prevatt, an owner of Moultrie Creek Studios in St. Augustine, is a Flagler College graduate and longtime resident of St. Augustine. Gail celebrates life around her by creating art: sometimes vivid, sometimes delicate light, line, texture and color. Her "palette" includes paintings, drawings, pottery and jewelry, her gardens as well as bee keeping, and anything else that captures her imagination. For this exhibition Gail has focused on the colors of fall, painting subjects that reflect her interest in the natural world.
Mary K. Shaw is a mixed media artist who employs collage, hand lettering, and mono printing to create vibrant, layered artwork. She pursues her artistic impulses with zeal and a dash of spontaneous combustion from her home studio in St. Augustine, Florida.
Dave Tuttle chose Heather Tuttle for the colorful and whimsical nature of her art. Her work displays the sense of amusement she finds from the world revolving around her "...and of dealing with an often unpredictable head of hair". Heather has discovered "creating something handmade and original is more rewarding than I imagined".
Juliana Romnes specializes in photographs of coastal Florida, from sand patterns and waves to the texture of seawalls. For this display, she will display a collection of miniature portraits of black and white trees in frames that are 2.5 x 3.5 x 1.5 inches deep. These tiny photographs can be hung on the wall or sit on a shelf.
Nikki Rakov works in acrylic, oils, watercolor and drawing media that is layered into her paintings to express her visions of a mysterious world. Her paintings reveal figures and animals interpreted from dreams, visions, and ghost stories woven together in dark and spooky landscapes. Nature in her landscapes is derived from memory and imagination, taking on the role of another character in her exprNature in her landscapes is derived from memory and imagination, taking on the role of another character in her expressive paintings.
Allison Watson is well known throughout the South for her landscape paintings of Florida and the South East. The inspiration for her paintings comes from her love of the natural environment and her travels and explorations in remote woodlands, lakes, springs, dunes and beaches of Florida and international locations. She paints in her studio at the CoRK Art District in Jacksonville from her own photography taken on kayaking and hiking trips along Florida's trails and rivers.
Veronica Webber is a Flagler alumni with a Fine Art degree. She is currently focused on oil painting and photo based collage, with an interest in the self and the way external and internal forces affect the body and mind. My work explores the way various layers of the self become exposed in times of struggle, and the way they act in relation to one another, as well as separate entities. " I am interested in distortion of the body as a physical
manifestation of struggle and the alternate selves that rise to the surface as a result."
