Do you long for the serenity of the coast? Wish you could smell the salt air and feel the sand in your toes? - Me too! I am excited every day to paint special scenes that take your mind on a coastal walkabout. I enjoy painting realistic subjects that when paired with unique settings, can only be found in one's imagination.
Blue crabs stealing treasure or dolphins eyeing sunken vessels are just some examples of the art I create.
As a former US Navy Submariner, I used to marvel at the interaction of mankind and nature. One day, while standing on the submarine deck while moored in Charleston SC, I obsevered a deer casually swim by and was fascinated to note the juxtaposition of a modern nuclear submarine cast against the backdrop of coastal marshes, flora and fauna; this experience and others like it have motivated my art - I especially like to depict scenes that hint at the presence of mankind in nature (or vice versa) and how the indomitable spirit of nature always shines through.
Vivid colors and subject detail are hallmarks of my work.
Marie is currently the in-house artist and Operations Manager at Sun Bear Gallery and Studio. She is a self-taught artist who just enjoys creating! She primarily paints in acrylic and uses subject matter associated with her love of the beach, though she has been known to paint a War Eagle every once in a while. After a rewarding and exhausting career in child welfare she retired and is realizing her dream of one day having a gallery and studio where up and coming artist might show and sell their work. Her belief is that everyone has a creative gene... whether it is in painting, gardening, cooking, styling or just managing a household. She enjoys helping others to bring out the "little artist" in them and spending time talking shop with fellow art lovers
Jaimie’s love for pottery is more than just a craft – it’s a journey of exploration and self-expression. “In my studio, I find serenity amidst the clay and wheel, where I translate my thoughts into functional yet decorative pieces. I love to use “non-traditional” and bright-colored glazes. I am always seeking new textures to incorporate with my pieces and get much of my inspiration here in the Emerald Coast.”https://www.facebook.com/share/15xsrotaub/?mibextid=wwXIfr
Custom Wood Burning By Netta
“A journey from the depths of grief”
This journey started April 13, 2021 when my only son died suddenly. In the days that followed, the darkness and despair were so great I could barely function or even speak. Then one day a good friend gifted me with a wood burning pen which birthed a gift in me I was unaware of, bringing new life from out of the darkness and despair.
The art of wood burning saved my sanity and brought new hope for a future through creativity. It is in honor of my son Jeremey and with the encouragement of others, I am offering this gift to the community. My hope is that these pieces bringnew life to you and your home or office as well.
To commission a piece that will capture the heart of your journey I can be contacted at nettapuskar@gmail.com or 931-307-4847.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you!
Reagan is a growing artists who is developing a strong following such that she is often working on commission pieces.
Reagan grew up and has lived most of her life on the west end of PCB, FL. She has traveled to many coasts and beaches, yet she still affirms that PCB beaches are truly the worlds most beautiful. The water has always been her "happy place", and she expresses that through her paintings. She has painted many subjects, but her heart is painting what she loves, the beach!!! Reagan started painting in middle school and continued to take all the available art classes she could. When in college Reagan’s studies went a different direction and soon she realized she longed to create! After college, she focused on painting and self teaching different technics. Besides loving the beach, Reagan enjoys using bright vivid colors. She says, " I can paint a picture and everything is technically corrrect, but if it lacks beauty in the colors, I have failed to convey my real feelings behind the painting". Her hope is that people connect with her art as much as she does, and are able to experience a piece of her happy place.
