Our September Gallery is a year in the making. This Juried Exhibition is in conjunction with the oral history project, Storm Stories. We created this project in the wake of Hurricane Ian. We saw a great need for healing in our community after the devastating storm. By collecting stories of people’s experiences during the storm and by asking local artists to use their experiences to create art, we hope to help our community find beauty and begin the process of healing.
Exhibiting artists will include: Robert Allen, Stefanie Babb, Charles Baker, Laura Ball, Elita Barfield, Austin Bell, Linda Benson, Meagan Bonesteel, Laura Borror, Danielle Brant, Stacey Brown, Leslie Brunn, June Burke, Ramon Chirinos, Tracy Owen Cullimore, Sharyn Dahn, Dana Donkle, Marian Fuller, David Giansante, Julie Griffin, Sherry Haney, Sue Higgins-Ferrell, Peter Horan, Rose Jung, Jane Lane, Leoma Lovegrove, Pam Lowe, Doug MacGregor, Dave Mancini, Ying McLane, Susan Miller, Richard Plummer, Nanci Polomski, Dennis Porter, Carole Price, Ellen Prior, Josey Prior, Vickie Resor, John Rizza, Sharon Rodgers, Leah Schneider, Lynne Schwartz, Nancy Searle, Julie Siler Olander, Pat St. Onge, Dominick Tascher, Eric Taubert, Christopher Tuscan, John Warminski, Alex Wilkinson, and Deborah Zwetsch.
This exhibition is sponsored by PDS Architecture, LCEC, Knox Services, Wildcat Renovation, LLC, and Sanibel Air and Electric.

In the Member’s Gallery: Tamara Culp and Jodi Enders
Tamara Culp
Tamara Culp moved from the high desert country of Colorado to Florida to be closer to water in 2015.
Since childhood, water has held a special place in her heart as a sanctuary and a haven. A long time
jewelry artist in the mountains, known for her silver landscapes, she began using pencils, watercolors,
and soft pastels to bring to life the verdant greens and sparkling Gulf water landscapes of her new home.
Jodi Enders
Jodi has always been pulled toward exploration, a place where the constant running of the mind halts. She can enjoy simple pleasures and enrichment by analyzing the world on a deeper level than the average individual may grant themselves the time to do.
As an acrylic landscape impressionist, she focuses her brushstrokes on the relationships of each shape of color and their role in the collective ambiance of the scene. She depicts characteristic types of vegetation, animals, iconic architecture, lifestyle, and the times of day that light up all the individually beautifully crafted elements that collectively speak to the hearts of certain individuals
She aspires for her paintings to transport the viewer to excitement, serenity, good memories, and an uplifting time in their life. Potentially a place they want to dedicate effort to ensure they will return to that slice of paradise. Encouraging freedom and adventure of the spirit is the determination of why Jodi portrays unique and memorable scenes on the canvas.
