My Florida Travel Collection 2025 represents a month long trip to Sarasota, Florida where I enjoyed the sun and the beautiful flowers; spent time at Selby Gardens exploring the bromides and leaves of all shapes and colors; and, visited Mote Marine for the last time before it moves to a new location.  At Mote, I love looking at the patterns on the fish and the joy being there brings to my husband as we look for and find the brick with his Dad's name on it.

I spent a lot of time exploring Sarasota on my own.  I toured houses in Poinsettia Park during their 100th anniversary. I took a month long painting class with a fabulous teacher who taught me about color and painting birds. I learned how to print from a gelli plate which I found playful and eagerly looked forward to this weekly visit to the Sarasota Art Center. Walking the beach, biking in Myakka, spending time with friends, talking about the hurricanes and how it has changed the topography are all reflected in this collection of travel in Sarasota 2025.

Many of the participating 12 Westwood Artists were on hand to meet and greet at the reception on Wednesday, Feb. 5th from 5:30-7:00PM. Westwood Poet Laureate, Lynne Viti joined the event bringing with her 12 poems, one for each participating artist from her poetry group. The Exhibition will be up in the Westwood Public Library Gallery for the month of February, their 7th annual exhibition on home turf.

I've been using Wordpress to blog for a number of years but since it is free, there are always a lot of ads.  I've decided to just use my website for posting going forward. If interested, please click the link here to access any of my previous posts that discuss my artwork.
