The Gallery 101 Grand Opening Night

Andy & I ventured to Fort Lauderdale again for the third week in a row (or is it the fourth?). We spent the beautiful afternoon on the beach, and with a bribe of Skyline Chili, drove to Gallery 101.

Most of the art was great! My favorites included artists Leanna Yater (http://www.leeannayater.com/), Kurt Merkel (http://www.kurtmerkel.com/), and Linda Fleischman. We loved the space owned by Adam White: nicely organized, great lighting, good flow! Although later I found out someone turned on the heat instead of the cold a/c, it was fine when we were inside at the time we arrived.

Special thanks to Charlotte Sundquist, who keeps many artists up to date on the art scene in South Florida!!!!!

Later!

Whole Foods Market "Starving Artists" Contest

This event sponsored by Whole Foods Market was very cool because the proceeds benefit the sea turtle conservation program at The Museum of Science & Discovery in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Most artists submitted art that had a turtle theme. If I had time to create something for the show, or had not sold my little turtle from Pinecrest Gardens (yippee!), a turtle I would have exhibited. Instead, I exhibited a few ocean inspired pieces, and happily all three will be on display at the Whole Foods Market Lifestyle Center through September. If one sells, I would be more than happy to donate a portion to the Museum for turtle conservation!

A portion of all sales of my art go to a charity. I made the promise waaaay back, and kept it since! Yes, I also donate part of my regular income, if you must know. LOL

Thanks to Zach & Andy for keeping me company last night!

Smiles!
