He Paints from the Gut
January 27th, 2012
When Matt Sesow visited the gallery from his Washington DC home, he found a Southern annex to his studio that was quite to his liking. A walk about in the historic district proved ripe with inspiration and fueled several days worth of painting. Manatees, along with mama cats, scoundrels, and even a Celery Queen have been added to his Central Florida collection. Opening night ended with many new fans of the man who paints from the gut.
What's in Your Window?
January 17th, 2012
January always brings a fresh new look to the gallery. The holiday festivities have subsided, the decorations and trees are packed away, making way for a new season - one of resolutions and new beginnings. We are enjoying the change of scenery in our front windows. That's a bright juicy pear by Mary Klein and some exquisite examples of Laura Zindel's ceramic apothecary jars. Our spring show schedule is going to be a colorful one! We hope you'll visit often.
Day of the Dead Workshop with Melissa Menzer
October 29th, 2011
The gallery was flooded with memories on October 29. Good ones and bittersweet, as each participant chose a loved one or a pet to honor with an altar. Melissa provided oodles of goodies to add to the projects. Take a look at our photo album here to see the variety of styles.
Melissa will be back on December 10 to do a Memory Jar workshop, so call the gallery if you'd like to save a seat. 407-323-2774.
Textural Bliss Workshop with Sarah Whitmire
October 15th, 2011
When creative women gather here at JTFA, there is a palpable energy throughout the gallery. It was just such a day on October 15 when Sarah Whitmire brought her considerable stash of paints, texturizing materials, and piles of paper, ephemera, and fabric scraps. It was a delight to watch each little masterpiece as it was born. Thank you Sarah, for bringing your magic to Sanford!
