Deborah Gooch's work looks great in the studio. The intensity of color and drawing are first rate and her quirky humor makes me smile throughout the day. I have to say I have a favorite, Practice.

It might have to come and live at our house! If you didn't get a chance to see them stop by the studio Tuesday to Friday 1 to 5.

Dennis Afiery's new paintings of the sand ridges near Jupiter are terrific. The large painting, Burnt Over Scrub, 60 x 61, is the first thing you see as you walk into the studio. Suddenly you aren't in downtown Stuart surrounded by concrete anymore, but walking up a high ridge, working your way through new palmettos and broom sedge in colors you've never really seen out there before, and yet, as you look at it now make total sense. Dennis talks about being there completely, in a particular moment. And here we too are there.

Last night we celebrated our New Work Exhibit, as well as the end of our first winter season at 20 East Ocean. There were so many interesting people from Miami to Sebastian. Thanks for your support throughout the year.

Introducing artist Deborah Gooch

We are pleased to introduce artist Deborah Gooch this month at the studio. Her vibrant use of color and form create dynamic compositions that continually surprise. She seems happy in this world of quirky everyday images that never seem commonplace.
