Mary Rose, Violetta and Helen have spend the past year painting, in North America and Europe.  It has been a wonderful year for us doing what we love best: painting and travelling.

"With every cell in my body, I believe that original art changes people's lives, that it actually affects their physical well-being when they stare at a painting they love. We've all heard stories of people who are transformed by a painting. (E Rhoads) 

"Original art work has energy, one can sense the DNA of the artist. I liken it to an original oriental rug and to fresh flowers " ( G Summerville)


Looking forward to welcoming you on January 8th.




Welcome to Indian Rocks Beach - Triptych - one panel painted by each artist.

On Angel's Wings a triptych

We adore travelling and discoving new places.  Our hearts are never far from Indian Rocks Beach, Florida which provides us with the most incredible scenery and light.
