VERO BEACH — Tiger Lily artists Julia Carter, Shotsi Cain Lajoie, Chris Adams Johnson, Linda Proctor, Sharon Sexton and Glenda Taylor invite the public to their new show titled, “Hot Tropics,” a show of bold tropical work, opening Friday, April 6, from 5-8 p.m. The show will close April 30.
“Hot Tropics” is sure to bring out the color in the Tiger Lily artists. The public is invited to see their new work.
“When I think of hot tropics I think of the searing heat,” says Chris Adams Johnson of her carefully constructed paper collage. “The piece I am working on is primarily in reds and oranges to convey that feeling.”
“Turquoise, blue, white, orange and pink are the colors that come into my mind’s eye,” says Shotsi Cain Lajoie. She is continuing her painting journey on large scaled canvases.
Ceramicist and painter Sharon Sexton, inspired by dream imagery, is creating large embellished figures that begin as cylindrical forms. Her imagery focuses on sea life and tropical flora and fauna and wild life.
Glenda Taylor’s wheel thrown vessels have tropical reef motifs and are brightly colored with low fired glazes.
A portion of the proceeds of the show will be contributed to Youth Guidance, an organization that’s mission is dedicated to enriching the lives of children in Indian River County.
Tiger Lily is owned and operated by these artists who have a working studio located at 1903 14th Ave., in a historic church in downtown Vero Beach. Their hours of operation are from Tuesday –Friday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. – 2 p.m.
