Artist Recognition

​Our featured Artist for the month of August is watercolor artist Vicki Glynn. Vicki has been creating award-winning paintings depicting the natural beauty of southwest Florida since 1980.  Her paintings feature birds, sea life, beaches, and mangroves, often set in beautiful sunrise or sunset colors. Her process involves layers of light, dark, and color, creating texture and shapes interpreting nature's tapestry.  Her intention is to depict the beauty of nature to inspire, uplift, and bring joy to the viewer.
