Shop for Flooring during Bird Road Art District (BRAD) Art Walk

Shopping for flooring is boring unless you are at Palmetto Carpet Company in the Bird Road Art District. Displayed at this venue are sculptures and paintings by artists such as Abel and Erik Speyer. The sculptures are incorporated in the space to startle your eyes from the displays. Oh, were floors mentioned? Space curator and flooring expert Robert has carpet, tile, and wood floor samples here, too. The space is laid out as if an art museum showroom of colors and textures. For eye candy and flooring needs, visit this hybrid art space.

The super moon on the evening of March 19 continued to follow Andy and I as we bumped into Life is Art's James Echols and Annette Peikert of Julia K. Wakefield  just out side of Mano's Fine Art studio. Down the street was the busiest stop complete with interactive mural painting and musical jam session at the Daedalus Project.

The Bird Road Art District's art walk is held the third Saturday of every month. For more information, please visit them at http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bird-Road-Art-District/ The next scheduled walk is this Saturday, April 16, from 7pm to 11pm.

You are invited on May 7th at Dharma Studio during Coconut Grove's Second Saturday Art Walk. My art will be on display this evening from 7pm to 11pm. The art and event is friends and family friendly! See you there!

Bird Road Art District (BRAD) New Art Walk!!!

It was a gorgeous evening on October 16th, 2010 for the first Bird Road Art District (BRAD) Art Walk. From 7pm to 10 pm, artists showed of their work and fans asked questions and enjoyed conversations. Andy and I went for a stroll and see my friends and a few new-to-us studios.

Ismael's Studio

Ismael Gomez-Peralta is a master artist. He has some incredible art, and I look forward to linking his future website to any of the items about him. His themes range from a series of Jose Marti (Cuban historical figure) to the Cathedral(s) of Havana.

In the meantime, Ismael is an inspiration. I am extremely fortunate to be able to study with him. He leads discussions, but makes them feel like conversations. He brings books to class, and shows us what we can strive to do. He brings us a figure model (yes, we paint & draw nude people), and he encourages us to see how the shadows & light work. I love going to Ismael's studio to work. I always walk out of there super tired, but hyped up on what was accomplished.

In the photo with the lady in red, Ismael is explaining something & gesturing with his hand.
