VIEW GALLERY ART Kathy Schumacher Kathy Schumacher is an oil painter based in Northwest Florida's Emerald Coast. She is nationally recognized for her distinctive palette knife style. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin, as a military wife, Schumacher worked and traveled around the world. After raising her two children, she discovered an innate talent and heartfelt passion for oil painting. Her mid-life discovery evolved into a career: she was bound to be a professional artist. Schumacher is primarily a self-taught artist citing an instinctive flair for painting. Initially, her art career began in traditional oil painting, but eventually she developed her own style using palette knives. Her novel approach is recognizable in any subject she chooses to paint: vibrant colors, energetic strokes, and multidimensional attributes resulting in a dynamic final product. Schumacher derives her inspiration from her natural surroundings: coastal landscapes, plants, florals, and even people and animals. Her original works have been exhibited at several galleries and fine art shows. She has a devoted following and collector base throughout the country. Most recently, Schumacher and her daughter, who is also an artist, had their first mother-daughter art exhibition hosted by Ferrari of San Diego. https://kathyschumacherart.com/

VIEW GALLERY ART Lynnette Moody Lynnette is a self taught artist with works in galleries and collections worldwide. An ex-emergency room nurse with a short attention span, her art career began when she needed a pot for the fireplace hearth in her new home. She bought some clay, a book and a kiln. It got seriously out of hand after that. That was 15 years ago. Now, her work is mixed media, using not only clay, but weavings, wood, fused glass and, most recently, bronze. She gets bored easily..(remember the short attention span) and, so, creates a broad range of unique pieces..each is one of a kind. Her hummingbird feeders, fountains and Silly Birds will make you smile and laugh out loud. Her sculptures will inspire. Her sculptural, mixed media mirrors will enchant.

VIEW GALLERY ART Kim Clark Journey | Acrylic/Oil | 30" x 30" $2,700.00 Magical Moth | Acrylic/Oil | 24" x 24" $1,200.00 Voyager of Celestial Dreams | Acrylic/Oil | 24" x 36" $1,800.00 Kim is an abstract realism artist surrounded by forest and living on the water with her husband in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. She has a Chesapeake Bay retriever, 2 cats, 4 chickens, all kinds of wild animals visiting her yard, and a beautiful beach only 3 miles away. Her 3 adult children are all grown up with children of their own. In her spare time, she likes to travel, drink coffee on the porch, visit and playing cards with the family, and takes photographs for inspiration. It was during her seventh-grade art class that she first felt a magnetic pull of art. Encouraged by her art teacher to observe and feel the texture of yellowing maple leaves and rough tree bark, she found herself profoundly moved by the organic beauty of the world. Now, she has an artist studio in her backyard! A significant milestone and confidence came as she painted in Venice, Murano, and Burano, Italy, and exhibited her work at the Instituto Canossiano San Trovaso in Venice Italy. She continued to paint for several years and made the decision it was time to enroll at the Milan Art Institute. This elevated Kim’s skills and her artwork exponentially and is now a full-time master artist. Beyond the canvas, Kim’s ambition is for every individual to own a signed original piece of artwork, reflecting her belief in the power of emotional art.

< Back To Artists Page BEIZAR ARADINI Nashville, TN BIO Beizar Aradini was born in Mardin, Kurdistan and immigrated with her family to Nashville, Tennessee in 1992. Her work unravels her family’s story as immigrants and examines cultural displacement through craft and fiber arts. Aradini's artwork has been exhibited nationally, including at the Frist Art Museum as part of the award-winning We Count: First-Time Voters exhibition. In 2021, she was awarded Best in Show in the Best of Tennessee Craft 2021 Biennial at the Tennessee State Museum. Aradini was also selected for an artist residency at Arquetopia International Artist Residency and completed an Andean Textile and Weaving workshop during her month-long stay in Urubamba, Peru, which was partially funded by a scholarship from Tennessee Craft. ARTIST STATEMENT My artwork explores the liminal spaces and experiences of living in diaspora. I examine ideas and emotions of what home means for someone in displacement. I reflect on my family’s history of becoming refugees and then immigrating to the United States. There’s a shift that happens in this experience that has a profound imprint on our identities, memories, and narratives. To archive our history and preserve our stories and culture, I embroider old photographs that my family left behind while fleeing from war. Gradually, I’ve managed to collect these photos from all over the world. Some are collected from family friends displaced in other countries while others come from family members back in Kurdistan. Before I thread my needle, I manipulate and distort the photographs to resemble a memory. For those displaced, memories often become a home. Using these images, I portray to the viewer a sight that might not be familiar, but invite them to become a part of the narrative. I display an immigrant’s experience, one that comes from the dark consequences of imperialism and colonialism. By employing strong notions of family, I am trying to show how this is a collective experience that is often forgotten.
