Amanda Johnson was born in Northern Wisconsin. She graduated in 2005 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago with a degree in fine arts. She has lived and studied in New York City, Paris, Prague and India where she has gained inspiration and techniques that she has incorporated into her various paintings and murals.
However, not being one to imitate painting techniques put down in text book, the foundation of her work shows an immense spirit of creativity and expression that is uniquely her own. She considers her abstract work to be realist paintings of an abstract subject matter, with a foundation from traditional to conceptual in nature. They are rich in texture and depth.  Worked on over several weeks and months, her process is pure emotional expression that sometimes only during the final stages does a painting begin to reveal its form and theme.  
In 2008, she trained with renowned realist painters from the Arts Students League in NY and the Palette & Chisel Academy of Fine Arts in Chicago. She began experimenting with the chiaroscuro technique, an art form dating back to the Renaissance that focused on the expression of light and shadow. 
 
Amanda held her first solo exhibition at the Palette & Chisel in February of 2009, which synthesized her training as a contemporary artist and traditional. 
 
Amanda currently resides and works in Key West. She has taught oil painting at the Florida Keys Community College, she routinely paints in her studio and en plein air (outdoor/on sight painting). In 2012 She opened Amanda Johnson Gallery in the historical Old Town district of Key West.

Baron Wolman. 

Canadian singer-songwriter and musician Neil Young in Los Angeles, CA.  June 1969. Presented in a Limited Edition of 150

 Print size is approx. 11" x 14" raw and measures approx. 21" x 17 1/4" framed. We have edition # 7/150 in the gallery.  We are offering Neil Young for only $1095 framed inc. shipping in the Continental US.

 Baron Wolman (born June 25, 1937) is an American photographer best known for his work in the late 1960s for the music magazine Rolling Stone, becoming the magazine's first editor of photography from 1967 to 1970. He is ranked among the 20th Century's elite and most collectible photographers. As the first photographer of Rolling Stone Magazine he was granted unique access to rock 'n' roll's most eponymous and notorious emerging icons, from Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash, to Jimi Hendrix. Few living photographers  rode the roller-coaster ride of the 60s alongside the icons of that age. Wolman was awarded as a VIP at the 2011 Classic Rock n' Roll Honor Awards, smashing a camera on stage in homage to Pete Townsend.

10,000 MEMORIES DEEP
LISA ESPOSITO

ZABAR PROJECT GALLERY
(Bottom-R) 10,000 Memories Deep consists of mixed media images that, like dreams, are fragmented yet connected, familiar yet uncertain.

100 + 1: PORTRAITS IN KEY WEST
BRENDA ZLAMANY

XOJ GALLERY
(Top-L) Stories are at the heart of Brenda Zlamany's project, The Itinerant Portraitist, which is an ongoing, multiyear project in which she explores the constructive effects of portraiture in communities around the globe.

KERRY HOEPPNER

ZABAR LOBBY GALLERY
(Top-R) A true artist of the Keys, Kerry Hoeppner is known for his ability to turn palm fronds, coconuts and other natural bits into whimsical sculptural creations. "My art shows people what can be made from nature's debris, from Einstein's bust to a bumblebee. It stirs imaginations and entertains," Hoeppner says. Supported by Anne McKee Artists Fund.

Norbert Szilagyi returns to art scene at SALT
            After a long hiatus from the art world, much-beloved Key West folk artist Norbert Szilagyi will make his triumphant return to the gallery scene this month. For the month of April, SALT Gallery (830 Fleming St.) will feature a new collection of Szilagyi's vivid acrylic paintings, entitled "Folk on the Border." To celebrate Szilagyi's triumphant artistic reemergence after so many years.
As a child, Szilagyi immigrated to the U.S. with his family after escaping their native Hungary during a revolution attempt. He grew up in Ohio, served in the U.S. Navy and subsequently returned to Ohio to attend Kent State University.
In 1987, Szilagyi found his way to Key West and settled here to start creating art, where he
 became a disruptive force in the art scene in more ways than one. Driven by the lack of art in public places in Key West, Szilagyi took it upon himself to paint a city bus bench in his typical colorful style. To thank him for his service, the city issued him a police citation for vandalism, which was promptly rescinded and followed up with a request to paint more benches.

All his Paintings are Acrylic Paint on Wood

This website was created to make easier to event goers to find times and dates. Companies can save time and always have updated/available events available to them and their customers. They don't have to search every local news paper to find what they need. They have ready and combined information on one calendar. It's also online and therefore very convenient. Most people are digital nowadays. Another selling point is that the calendar of events will provide useful information that can be used for scheduling. Any company who is having a special event can look at the global calendar and avoid clashing times/dates with other organizations. This also allows them to attract more people to their events by scheduling their own events when other organizations aren't scheduled.

Key West Art & Historical Society invites artists, builders, and assemblers to put their creative and engineering genius to play and on display for the Fourth Annual Papio Kinetic Sculpture and Art Bike Parade (think art with parts that move), set to kick off at the Custom House Museum in Key West, Saturday, May 4 at 12:00pm. Small and simple or elegantly engineered, teams of any number and age can enter this pedaled or pushed sculpture parade.Human-powered Kinetic Sculptures and Art Bikes can be simple, whimsical, futuristic, or fantastical-the only requirement is that they are physically moved by you (and/or a teammate(s)). Recycling is highly encouraged, wit and humor loudly applauded. Cash prizes will be awarded in multiple categories, including a youth/school category. 
Inspired by and named for the late Keys artist Stanley Papio, a humorous rebel metal-artist who explored the value of recycled materials long before it was hip to be rusty, a full weekend of kinetic revelry kicks off Friday, May 3 and runs through Sunday, May 5.  
Registration is $25 for kinetic sculpture floats and $15 for art bikes, with registration fees waived for Society members. Registration deadline is WHEN for kinetic sculpture floats and WHEN for art bike entries. For registration information and guidelines and a full event schedule, visit papiokineticparade.com.   The Papio Kinetic Sculpture Parade is supported in part by the State of Florida Division of Cultural Affairs, The Helmerich Trust, and the Monroe County Tourist Development Council. Your Museums.  Your Community.  It takes an Island.

CONNECTIONS PROJECT
As well as being connected by the iconic Overseas Highway, the 125-mile-long Florida Keys island chain also is connected by a vibrant community of artists. From now through May 3, art lovers can view a travelling 24-foot mural featuring the work of close to 400 creative spirits during a series of exhibitions throughout the Keys. "The Connections Project: A Mosaic of the Keys" comprises nearly 400 individual canvases measuring 6 inches square that were provided to artists and arts-minded residents.
Their resultant works - produced in mediums ranging from oils and watercolor to photography, mixed media and quilting - showcase subjects including birds and sea life, palms and waterfront scenes, abstract visions and local landmarks.
"The mural's 'road show' tour from Key Largo to Key West celebrates the longstanding connections between the communities of the Keys," said Elizabeth Young, executive director of the Florida Keys Council of the Arts, which spearheaded the project.

Art lovers can make a $50 donation for one individual canvas or a $125 donation for three at any reception or online at keysarts.com. Each donor will receive a randomly selected, unique piece of the mosaic by mail with an artist statement sharing their inspiration. Proceeds from the Connections Project benefit local artists and arts organizations through arts council grants. To participate in the Connections Project, or for more information: keysarts.com or 305-295-4369
