October 6 through November 16, 2024 at the Expressions Gallery, located at Grand Living Realty, 2298 Colbert Lane, Palm Coast, FL, Monday - Friday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. A wonderful time was enjoyed by all (who braved the rain!) at the Gallery Opening reception, October 6. It was so good to see everyone in person and we very much missed those who could not be with us. Our President, Judy Madigan, welcomed everyone. An award ceremony followed, hosted by Hanneke Jevons.

This is a judged show. Our judge is Art Lamay, a highly regarded nature artist working from his studio in Palm Coast, Florida. We would like to express our gratitude to Art for the challenge and encouragement this offers to all the artists who participated this year, as we seek to broaden our skill levels and to see the world in exciting new ways.
About THE ARTIST"For as long as I can remember, I have always had a special fascination with nature" says Art LaMay. "To know that I have captured the subject of the scene as it really is in its natural setting is a true encouragement. To do a portrait type picture, to bring out their comical or even human characteristics as we often see them is true enjoyment."CreditsDuring the past 43 years, Art has designed artwork for various organizations such as Anheuser-Busch, Ducks Unlimited, South Carolina Waterfowl Asso., National Rifle Association, South Carolina Waterfowl Expo, Friends of the NRA, National Wild Turkey Federation, National Wildlife Federation, and the Audubon Society. He has designed stamps, cards, medallions, and posters for all major shows and charitable organizations.Awards and Accomplishments1987 - The Ward Foundation Museum dedicated The Art LaMay Wing1994 - Ducks Unlimited International Artist Award1995-2005 - Ducks Unlimited, National Wild Turkey Federation prints of the year1997-2005 - Epcot Flower & Garden Show - one of 15 international artists exhibiting2004-2005 - National Wild Turkey Federation prints - Mallard and Wood Ducks2009 - National Wild Turkey Federation - Wood Ducks2012 - Ducks Unlimited 75th Year Anniversary ArtistEaston Waterfowl Exhibition - Poster artist every year since 1987Art LaMay Studio & Gallery (386) 503-46634480 North Oceanshore Boulevard, Palm Coast, Florida 32137Hours: 10am - 4pm most days.
