List of 2024 Artists and Studios
-
"Get paint on the canvas" is the best advice that a person gave me. My inspiration for putting the paint on the canvas comes from beautiful flower arrangements and the scenery as I take walks.
LoPresti Art Gallery
-
Art is in my genetics. I remember my grandmother putting a brush in my hand as I sat in a high chair. She was my teacher and she taught me what had been passed down to her. Nature and those that came before me continue to inspire my art.
-
Classically trained, I teach drawing, and portraiture and run the open studios at the club gallery. I've had some outrageously creative careers (inventor, designer, actress) and my stories are as colorful, varied and surprising as the paintings, drawings, and jewelry you will see at my poolside studio.
-
After Graduation from Massachusetts College of Art, I taught Art to grades 1-8 for several years. Marriage, children, and work interrupted my art journey but designing and creating were always part of my everyday life. After retiring I was able to take up Painting and the rest is history !
-
We are inspired and intrigued by people-watching, music, architecture, textiles, and life. We are mixed-media artists, using acrylics, paper, textiles, and whatever else inspires us.
Jeff & P Hall Studio
-
I have been painting for almost 50 years, produced more than 600 paintings, and owned two galleries in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and one in my native Virginia. My love for color, beauty, and nature compels me to paint, and my artwork is defined by my vivid use of color by which to capture the beauty of nature and the life that surrounds me.
Studio Bliss - Annie Horkan
-
I am a self-taught artist who works in many mediums. I am curious and use that to move into many mediums. Currently, I am painting, I have been known for extra large work.
Shotsi Lajoie Studio
-
Beauty, harmony & sublime are topics rarely discussed in abstract art but I return to these words to describe my work. Seeing beyond the conspicuous & capturing the vitality of nature is part of the joy!
-
David LoPresti's passion for art is contagious, and his unique perspective is what makes his work stand out. He loves to discover hidden beauty in industrial and contemporary items and uses them as the basis for his art. When he incorporates a manhole cover into his work, for instance, people appreciate their design in a new and unique way.
LoPresti Art Gallery
-
My art contains a little piece of me in every painting, whether Zany or emotional! I tend to paint in bright colors and have an enormous imagination! My trademarks tend to be Eyes, Music, and Trees.
I was recently juried into the Red Dot Art show during Miami Basel week at the Wyndham!
Robin Marshall Studio
-
I began painting architecture and landmarks in Boston in 2007 and have continued to do so since moving to Vero Beach in 2021. I also enjoy painting pet portraits and doing plein air, as well as commissioned pieces. I've been a member of the Artists Guild Gallery of Vero Beach, since 2022.
VB Art Club - Karen McFeaters
-
I have always liked to make things. I love to paint, collage, craft, sew, garden; anything where I can use my hands to create. People tell me my work is joyful and that is a huge compliment as that is what I strive to portray. description
-
My art is heavily influenced by nature—landscape, Botanicals, Sea Life, Color, Light and Shadow. I create realistic and abstract art.
Vicki Morrison Studio
-
I make live edge river tables, exotic wood cutting boards, and charcuterie boards. As an ex-executive chef, my work tends to lean towards the culinary world.
Nevaeh Creates Studio
-
Lifelong Vero Native Crystal Ploszay has made a name for herself in the decorative concrete industry as one of the top artistic installers in the nation. She is frequently a featured installation artist at various concrete and epoxy shows and teaches masterclasses across the map. Crystal is currently the Vice President for the Womans' Association of Concrete Professionals and operates a local installation company comprised of all females. You have seen her work at Waldos, Mulligans, McKee Gardens, Capt. Hirams and more. Come take a rare glimpse inside the Unicorn Studio!
-
As an artist at heart, I have always been moved by paintings all my life. I enjoy working with shapes,
movement, texture and an abundance use of color!!! Being a native Floridian, is easy to say I'm
obsessed with painting palm trees. Large abstracts are also a passion, and finding color-shape balance is
the goal. Finding freedom in movement and the miracle of a beautiful mix of hues is the reward!!
Holly Pratt Studio
-
My styles of painting vary widely as do my interests. I enjoy painting Florida in an illustrative style, a Jaguar under a starry night in the style of Van Gogh, or a modernist abstract that looks like it was inspired by Dr.Who. It depends on the inspiration of the moment. In art, as in life, I tend to defy categorization.
Sherry Schwentker Studio
-
Mary Travers is a seasoned artist, in the mediums of Encaustic, Acrylic, Oil, and Mixed Media. Her award-winning works are widely collected, appearing in major shows nationally and internationally.
Mary Travers Studio
-
For me, Art at its heart is the joy of “making stuff.” The desire and passion to enjoy and create art is my life’s purpose and way of living. I gain inspiration by being surrounded by friends, fellow artists, and a tribe of art makers, art enjoyers, and mentors whether teachers, collectors, or museums.
-
Dominique Tynes, niece of Original Florida Highwaymen James Gibson. I am inspired to paint art about Florida Landscape and Seascape.
Sunset Art Studio
-
Nephew of the well-known highwayman, James Gibson, Vernon carries on the style of painting. He also ventures out to do paintings of the female form and more. He is found at many art shows along with being a second year Art Trail participant.
