What is a “Jazz Market”?  At the Fort Pierce Jazz Market you’ll find the perfect piece of handcrafted art, unique housewarming, wedding, or birthday gift and enjoy fabulous music! It is one of the Treasure Coast’s treasures! With high-quality vendors, you won’t find tchotchkes, items ordered-by-catalog or mass-produced in an overseas factory – everything is handcrafted by skilled artisans who are right there to chat with you as you browse. Laura O’Kelly of Fine Art By Laura is a well respected glass artist who has been a fixture of the market. Using translucent glass, color, treasures from the sea, and light, she creates breathtaking wall décor. If you’re lucky, you can take home one of her masterpieces of light and color for just $5/1 ticket or $10/ 3 tickets, with a raffle benefiting the Fort Pierce Jazz Society’s Scholarship Fund.  The winner Laura’s artwork will be drawn on Saturday, April 15th at the Market. The Rickie Report shares the Art Raffle info, Jazz and Market details PLUS we encourage more visual artists to apply and be part of this creative venture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don Bestor, President of FPJS  tells The Rickie Report, “The Fort Pierce Jazz Society, celebrating its 25th Anniversary, manages that Saturday Morning Jazz Market. Taking its mission of quality very seriously and not allowing anything less than the best, FPJ Society certainly makes an effort to be worthy. Twenty-five years is a long time for a volunteer 501 (C) (3) organization to exist and succeed in its mission. Our core are musical performers from our area and those who winter here to avoid the cold. But we are more than that; we are educators, citizens supporters of arts, volunteers and hundreds of members who support the Society financially.  We schedule and perform at many venues throughout the year but a major factor in our success is our focus on the future generation, which undoubtedly will take our place”.

 

Each year the Society awards 10 – 15  $1,000 scholarships

to young performers

entering college with music as a primary or secondary subject.

Meet  Laura  O’Kelly

 

 

A dedicated professional and passionate music-lover who fell in love with the Treasure Coast when she relocated here from Albany, New York in 1983, O’Kelly has offered one of her spectacular pieces to help raise funds for a Fort Pierce Jazz Scholarship. Tickets, which are available at www.jazzsociety.org or at any of Fort Pierce Jazz and Blues Society’s many weekly gigs and performances as well as at the Saturday Morning Jazz Market, are just $5 each, and you can even get three tickets for just $10. The value of the piece being raffled off is already priceless, but add to that the knowledge that you’ll also be supporting an aspiring young musician who has chosen to further his or her musical education.

“Blue Marlin” is framed and ready to hang!  Laura O’Kelly has a gift for combining translucent glass, color and light to create an amazing visual effect and a positive energy that will fill the room.  She tells The Rickie Report, ” Our coastal wall décor is done in a sensual and calming palette of the sea.  Each of my art pieces is uniquely designed with the intention and no two pieces will be exactly alike. All our frames are made of wood and the hardware is attached so your piece is ready to hang! Each piece is personally signed by the me”.  Laura began taking weekly private art lessons in 2009 and discovered the Jazz Society Market through a colleague in 2011.  She says, ” I wanted a platform for exposure  to market my artwork, so I decided to become a weekly, year-round vendor and the rest is history….from the very first day I’ve maintained a level of professionalism and found success selling my artworks.  I also take commissions, so if a visitor doesn’t see exactly what strikes their fancy, I work with them and create something totally unique!  I have been truly blessed with making my mark in the art community here on the Treasure Coast and the positive result as a professional artist that has followed”.

Don continues, “We share our time and talent with students throughout St. Lucie, Martin, and Indian River County providing master classes in music and performance and we invite student musicians to perform with us every Tuesday evening at the Sunrise Black Box Theatre in historic downtown Fort Pierce, and every other Wednesday evening at the Port St. Lucie Botanical Gardens. We believe in the power of music, and we want to make sure we pass that magic along to the next generation through scholarship, opportunities, and education. There are lots of investments with a much lower return, but we believe in the power of music and the incredible return it gives in the form of education, building teamwork and cooperation, creating and celebrating joy, and creating a legacy of love that will be passed on generation to generation for as long as we are.

      LYNN   DOYAL  

“An  Artist’s  Journey  Discovering  Public  Art”

 

 

Lynn Doyal blends contemporary design with a reverence for the techniques of the past.  She incorporates paint, hand stitching and beading, collage, and digital technology in her works to create vibrant, textural pieces.  Digital photographs of her artwork can then be transferred onto a variety of surfaces such as glass, metal, canvas, tile, or vinyl, allowing for expansive reproductions as public art pieces. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She tells The Rickie Report, “My artwork … provides that ‘breath’ in the course of a person’s day which means a great deal to me.”  Her life-sized originals let the viewer marvel at the intricate detail of Doyal’s mixed media pieces, while her large-scale public art pieces are a captivating, surreal experience.

 

 

 

 

 

In 1979, Doyal received her degree in Fine Art from the University of South Florida. After working in the corporate realm, she started her own company, Signature Chocolates, providing premiums and incentives for corporations, hotels and cruise lines. Since 2011, she has been exhibiting her art in festivals, shows, and galleries.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Over the past 6 years, Doyal’s interest in public art has motivated her to serve as an apprentice to a nationally recognized public artist, as well as volunteer in Palm Beach County Art in Public Places, to gain the perspectives of the many individuals and agencies that need to work in concert together to create, fabricate and install public artworks. She explains, “my overall approach to public art is to beautify and surprise.”  Doyal’s current projects include “Word Patterns” which explores the patterns in word search puzzles, and a Portrait Ministry, in which she creates portraits as a way to encourage and uplift others.

 

 

To learn more about Lynn Doyal and her works, visit her website at https://mixedmediabylynn.com, or follow her on Instagram @MixedMediaBy Lynn, or Facebook @Lynn M Doyal.

 

 

 

The Wellington Art Society is a non-profit charitable organization in its 41^st year. It is open to artists of all mediums and patrons of the arts, allowing both local and regional artists to display their artwork in local galleries, interact with other artists and serve the community through their art.

Sneak peek of Fran Mann Goodman’s “Wander and Wonder” at Delray Beach Library

 

 

 

 

This exhibit runs February 6^th through March 17, 2023

 

 

 

 

“Depicting mostly impressionistic scenes of nature with an ingenious and varied use of textures enhanced by vibrant colors makes Fran’s canvases come alive with an exciting array of movement and artistry,”  Jarett Goldberg, Delray Beach.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fran Mann Goodman

 

 

 

 

For Fran Mann Goodman, it is not about the finished painting that enchants her, it’s the process!   At the Reception on March 8th from 6- 8 pm, Fran will show the steps she used to develop some paintings in the show.  She will also talk about the various paths her life took prior to becoming both an exhibiting artist and sought-after art teacher.

 

 

 

 

 

“Calm” by Fran Mann Goodman

 

 

 

Creating depth in her paintings is Fran’s passion. As a young girl, after finishing a paint-by-number set, she would attach strips of papier-mâché that extended from the canvas, with the belief the additional material made the paintings “come alive” This idea of emphasizing depth dimension in her paintings continued throughout her formal training at Chouinard Art Institute in the 60’s with the use of spackling wall paste.

 

 

 

“Jaw dropping from first sight. Upon simply seeing the gallery of paintings, one has to stop and wonder which way to go, as each way is an invitation to layers and layers of beauty. Standing in front of any one of these gorgeous eye-catching paint stories one lingers and learns in to see a depth of color and material not seen before. Which one has the viewer asking for more? Everyone! How did she do this? How can that be happening on the canvas? What technique? Fascinating stories of color and depth beyond the usual.” Phyllis Elrich, Art Co-Chair, NLAPW.

 

 

 

 

“Fantasia” by Fran Mann Goodman

 

 

 

Though Fran strayed away from painting during her multifaceted thirty-year career, in 2012, when she returned to her art, she kept the same mindset. Today she enlivens her canvases with a complex network of textures and layering devices — pastes, sands, paper towels and acrylic skins. There are no specific intentions, traditions or norms that she follows. Color becomes the lifeforce of each one. Layer after layer, hues- dynamic and soft -speak in their own beautiful language. Each stroke of the applicator invites a new interpretation. Each interpretation invites a new stroke until a painting with stories within can be told. 

 

 

 

 

 

“Floral Skies” by Fran Mann Goodman

 

Fran will tell you that aside from her painting practice, teaching others and witnessing their artistic growth is what lights her life. A former instructor at Old School Square’s Creative Art School, Fran runs her online Not your Ordinary Painting Class, where students learn techniques in abstract expressionism, while studying the styles of artists across the painting spectrum, from renaissance to contemporary. Students work with pastes, pumice, paper towels, acrylic skins, alcohol inks, mark makers, water dripping and concepts of color theory.

“Mary’s Home” Mermaid/Treasure box by Barbara Bucci

 

 

 

Barbara Bucci tells The Rickie Report, “Everything in my life thus far has led me to this exact moment in time. Even when the path was muddied & obscure, it guided me to the Present, full of the riches of what life has to offer.  First Art school, then dropping out of Art school to begin an adventure as a Tour Manager of a rock band in the late 70’s”.

 

 

 

 

Mermaid/Treasure Boxes by Barbara Bucci

 

 

She still marvels, “Can you imagine corralling a Band of 6, plus a road crew across the country & Europe multiple times without a cellphone? I look back and wonder sometimes…”how in hell did I do it?”. The European Gigs were exciting, well received & a whirlwind…Lots of airports, hotels & venues full of adoring fans and very long nights! Traveling thru occupied Germany, before the Wall came down, was an experience that I’ll never forget…. soldiers with guns & serious faces, a quiet descending on the Tour bus occupants while going through “Checkpoint Charlie” handing documents over to the officials to gain entry into East Germany for gigs in Berlin…everyone holding their breath until the papers were stamped & returned”.

Gerard Pastor is March’s artist of the month, and  The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department relaunched its Artists in Residence (AiR) program at the historic Bailey Contemporary Arts Center (BaCA) late last year.  The AiR Program   provides artists with studio space to create new work, collaborate with fellow resident artists, and engage with our community.  A distinguished panel of judges selected eight new artists to be part of our first “graduating class.” This dynamic and diverse group of artists will be in residence though June, and each will be presented as an “Artist of the Month,” during which time they will showcase their work and create unique programs to attract art lovers to BaCA.  At the culmination of the residency, AiR artists will share their new artworks in an exciting group exhibition

“Bird Sketch” by Gerard Pastor

 

Many of Gerard’s pieces are inspired by the Lucumi religion, which survived the slave trade era.  Often mired in secrecy and negative perceptions, the Afro-Caribbean faith serves as a creative force for Pastor who looks to inspire understanding.  

 

 

 

 

Gerard will have a Meet and Greet with guests during the Taste of Jazz event.
