All Things Coastal!

Carolyn's theme for her exhibition is "All Things Coastal!" She says:

"My paintings are inspired by various vacations that I have taken on the coast of Georgia and Florida. I find myself drawn to the water. It is where I feel renewed and am inspired to create."

"When painting I love listening to the song Oceans, ‘The words Spirit lead me where my faith will be made stronger in the presence of my Savior,’ increases my inner peace and gives me a calm while I am creating on my canvas. Everything I have is because of my faith and what God has brought me through. I am so thankful to share my paintings with others!"

"For as long as I can remember I have been creating art in some form or another, where it is in painting, sketching, or baking cakes. I remember the first time I tried to draw the ocean as a child. I loved it then and I love it even more now."

"Art was my favorite part of high school. I took it all four years. I took painting classes at the library. I put my art aside to raise my family but would incorporate art into my life wherever possible. I took art classes from Jean Pelligrino in Orange Park, Fl. I have also taken online art classes with Nancy Medina and online watercolor classes with Dreama Tolle Perry. Presently I have an art Facebook page that I am enjoying sharing my art adventures with my assistant "Miss Maybelle", my 3lb. Yorkshire Terrier. My favorite medium to paint with is oils and I love painting shrimp boats!"

"After raising children and caring for aging parents I returned to my love of painting. I am inspired by the beauty of the beach, where I find rest, peace, and renewal. The color and movement of the water, clouds, and sand draw me in. I try to capture all that I feel on the canvas of my paintings."

"These things have I spoken unto you that in Me you might have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world." John 16:33

About Butterfield Garage Art Gallery

Established in February 1999, Butterfield Garage Art Gallery is the brainchild of artist Jan Miller. Her vision was to create an artist-run gallery for professional artists that would encourage creative experimentation. Miller brought with her the experience of over 40 years as a successful professional artist. Having been a former member of ARC Cooperative in Chicago, Jan wanted to create a similar collective here in her new home. Her plan was to bring together the best artists in the area, who would share expenses, management, and operation of the gallery. The gallery opened its doors in February 1999.

For 25 years now, the Butterfield Garage Art Gallery has provided its artists with the chance to grow and take advantage of opportunities that may come their way through exposure in a professional gallery. And we continue to this day, true to the gallery’s original mission: to be a leader in the presentation of traditional and contemporary visual arts in Northeast Florida, and to encourage the experience of direct accessibility and dialogue between artists and their customers.

Stop in and see what's new and don't forget to pick up a Shuttle Sticker for complimentary shuttle service to St. Augustine galleries between 6-9 pm on the night of the Gallery Walk.
