Guest Artist: Rae-Ann BayLess

I am a painter,

jewelry designer, mother, wife,

retired advertising professional,

adventurer and beach queen

who found her dream home

in Venice, Florida.

I love to explore the possibilities

when creating art and I am currently

finding my way using acrylics with

collage materials and mark making

to create a variety of mixed media.

My inspiration comes from everyday living.

from the ever-changing colors of the sky

and the ocean, to the fabulous Florida fauna

and landscape. I love to create a

non-literal subject matter using a rich,

vibrant color pallet with strong textures.

In my work, I want to give the viewer just enough

for them to visualize and make it their own.

Guest Artist: KIerra Light

I have been enraptured by Nature all of my life and for the past

15 years have been experimenting with texture, handmade papers, layering and color to capture its spirit and healing qualities.

I use internationally sourced handmade papers, molding paste and micro beading, Chinese metallic paints, water color and acrylic, leaves, gold and copper leafing. All are combined in a multitude of ways, to create magical healing art that is meant to take you on your own special journey, uplift and inspire.

Whether you choose a small piece to tuck into a corner of your

home or office, or decide on a larger creation to fill a bigger

space, my art is from my heart, and I thank you for bringing it into your life.

Guest Artist: Susan Preiss - Artisan Jeweler, Enamelist

Susan has been making jewelry in Florida for 20 years. After working with many jewelry media and techniques, she specializes in metalwork and vitreous enamel. The beauty of nature is the inspiration for much of her work.

Metal, wire and gemstones become living art through cutting, forming, stone setting, and the flame. With vision all things are possible.

Powdered glass brings metal alive with glowing colors after firing with precision.

Guest Artist: Margaret Lacoste

Polymer Clay Sculpting

Passionate about color and working with her hands, Margaret started out creating mosaics. Once she found polymer clay, she became even more expressive and experimental in her art.

Now retired from the vacation rental business, she divides her time between New Hampshire and Venice. Margaret's full time artistic focus is in creating with polymer clay.

Colorful, Lightweight Jewelry

Before curing, Margaret blends the clay into the desired colors. She then rolls, shapes, twists, cuts and forms her designs. Her designs are so detailed they are sometimes mistaken as painted works!
