Seashells on Beach

Raymonde tells us, “I believe that I was born an artist because of my interest in designs and color at an early age. My hope is to be a messenger of beauty to the viewer. This is my motivation. I value beauty in nature, photographs and people. I like interesting shades of light and shadows, expressing them on canvas gives me joy.”

Sea Treasures by Ramonde Talleyrand

Lynne Bernay-Roman shares, “While my roots are in oil painting I am a contemporary artist. Along the way I added photography, became a psychotherapist, evolved into a photo-therapist and now am deep into my recent discovery, digital painting –  a discovery that has allowed me to combine many of the different mediums that I love.”

Plight of the Bee for the Web by Lynne Bernay-Roman

The combination of these two talented artists is sure to put “A Blast of Color” in your day!!!

This month’s event will help The Haitian Organization for Health Services (HOHS), a nonprofit benevolent corporation functioning under the laws of the State of New York. It also falls under the IRS Section 501c (3), making it a charitable organization. HOHS was founded in 1993 by health care workers (nurses, physicians, social workers, health technologists, etc) who were concerned about the deterioration of the healthcare system in Haiti. The mission of HOHS is to provide comprehensive services that will promote and preserve the health of the people in Haiti.

AND

A UNIQUE ART GALLERY PRESENT

A SOLO exhibition by

DAWN LANGSTROTH

Thursday April 4

5:30 – 7:30 pm

226 Center Street  Jupiter, FL

  PLEASE RSVP to auniqueartgallery@comcast.net or call 561-529-2748

Dawn Langstroth has made a career as a creative artist writing songs, painting, and making drawings that are as much emerging portraits of a forthright and independent identity as they are lyrics and pictures.

As a painter, she takes the world she knows best – her friends, family, and the familiar landscapes of home – and interprets it in a direct manner letting line and colour convey her quizzical nature and probing sensibility.

An artist adept in several expressive modes, Dawn Langstroth tells us in words, songs and pictures what it means to embrace life fully and creatively, letting randomness and creative curiosity open doors and pathways on the wondrous journey of becoming ourselves.

This solo exhibition will benefit Hannah’s Home of South Florida; a safe and loving environment for single pregnant young women.  Hannah’s Home provides a safe and loving Christian environment for single pregnant young women. Through counseling, life skills, and continuing education, they offer hope and transform lives. For more information go to www.hannahshomesf.org.

A Photographic Exhibit: Honor & Serve

by  

Liesl Marelli

Opening Reception  

Wednesday April 10, 2013

5:30- 7:30 pm 

The Artists Association of Jupiter (AAOJ) and Veteran Military Photojournalist, Liesl Marelli,will be holding an Art Show to Support our Wounded Service Members and their Families. This monthly open house will be held to raise awareness and funds for the local not for profit organization The Renewal Coalition. 

 Proceeds from the sale of artwork created by the artists of AAOJ  and Liesl Marelli will benefit the Renewal Coalition www.renewalcoalition.org.  For additional information call the gallery at 561-529-2748 or email auniqueartgallery@comcast.net 

Artist Liesl Marelli served as a military photojournalist in the Army for nine years. During her time in service, she deployed to Iraq where she documented the war efforts made by American Soldiers and Marines. Marelli strove to capture and share moments with viewers to help provide insight to a perspective they may not otherwise know. Each photograph she exhibits captures a moment in time where the viewer can visualize the outcome they see and feel. It’s through this freedom of thought that she strove to capture the American spirit.

“I appreciate the opportunity to offer a window into my military life, particularly while I was deployed in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom,” said Marelli. “Sharing profits from the show with my brothers and sisters in arms is important to me because although I’m no longer serving in the military, the lifestyle never left my heart,” said the West Palm Beach resident. 

Local musician Marc Souza, guitarist and singer, will perform opening night of the exhibit. The “Honor and Serve” is free and open to the public. The exhibit will remain on display at A Unique Art Gallery until Saturday May 4, 2013.

The Renewal Coalition’s mission is to assist wounded service members and their families in their transition from military to civilian life or back to active duty by offering a retreat experience at Florida residences with the intent of providing these families a relaxed, pleasant, and welcoming environment. We focus on the family sharing time together without the worries of expenses. Lodging, meals, entertainment, ground travel and even the small amenities are the responsibility of the Renewal Coalition and NOT the service members and their families.   www.renewalcoalition.org.

Artist Maxine Schreiber is pleased to announce that she is in two solo Father/Daughter exhibits this winter both entitled “The Schreibers: The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree.”  The exhibit of ten smaller oils by Maxine and ten pastels by her father, Herman Schreiber, are on display in the Turner Moore Memorial Library in Manalapan, Florida until  February 11, 2012.  Twenty one larger works can be seen in the Student Resources Atrium at Florida Atlantic University John D. MacArthur Jupiter Campus until January 31, 2012. 

Herman Schreiber was a well-known artist both in his native New Jersey and in Delray Beach before his death in 1995.  Born in Newark, NJ, he graduated in 1934 from the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts.  An artist who used pastels exclusively, he created ultra realistic works of art.  Using photographs to inspire his pictures, he delicately rendered the final product, which looks as real as life itself and often is mistaken for an actual photograph.

During his lifetime, Herman exhibited his work in galleries and museums in New Jersey where he won many awards including Blue Ribbons at the South Orange Annual Art Show, Bloomfield College, & Montclair State College exhibits.  In Florida 1988 – 1995, as a member of the Delray Art League, he exhibited in shows at Old School Square and other Delray sites and won numerous awards.  In 1994 & 1995 his work was in the 55th & 56th Annual Juried Exhibitions at the Society of the Four Arts in Palm Beach.

As a child, Maxine Schreiber was inspired by her dad’s artwork.  She received a B.A. in Fine Arts from Kean University in NJ, and she studied art at the University of Copenhagen in Denmark and the New England School of Art and Design in Boston.  She exhibited in the 70’s and early 80’s as a juried member of the Cambridge Art Association in Massachusetts and then put painting aside to practice as a psychotherapist for over 20 years.  In 2001 she began oil painting again and the next year was accepted as a juried artist member into Women in the Visual Arts.  A member of Artists of Palm Beach County and Artists Association of Jupiter, her rich landscapes have been exhibited in numerous juried shows, galleries and museums throughout South Florida including the Armory Art Center, the Cornell Museum, and Palm Beach County Art in Public Places at Palm Beach International Airport.

All are invited to an Artists Reception Wednesday, January 4, 2012 from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at FAU and to a Vernissage in Manalapan on Friday, January 20, 2012 from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m.

“The Schreibers The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far From The Tree”, a catalogue of all of the work in both exhibits, is now available and on sale on Blurb.  You can preview and purchase it by clicking this link http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2812165.

The event is free and open to the public with live holiday music, live art demonstrations and entertainment, face painting, hair braiding and Santa will also be stopping by for pictures with the children.

A Unique Art Gallery will have an official Toys for Tots drop box at the gallery.  With a donation of an unwrapped toy the generous visitor will receive an envelope full of raffle tickets from the merchants along with a map.  The gift donor will then follow the map to all the merchants and put their chance in to win a fabulous raffle item from each store they visit.
