We are delighted to share the watercolors of Linda Pence

“My paintings are about the natural beauty of the place I live. Landscapes, beautiful gardens, old houses, nature trails, rivers and lakes are the subject matter that inspires me.
My work is also inspired by the community where I live; the artists, naturalists, writers, teachers, scientists, and healers who contribute their creative energies to our shared community.”

Linda is represented by the Gainesville Artisan’s Guild Gallery, Melrose Bay Gallery, The Icehouse Gallery, Kanapaha Botanical Gardens Summer House Gallery and The St Augustine Art Assoc.; Linda participates in individual and group shows with the Gainesville Fine Art Association, The Arts Alliance of North Florida and Plein Air Florida, The Southern Artist’s League, The Tallahassee Watercolor Society, the North Florida Art League and the Florida Watercolor Society. Her paintings and handmade art cards are available at many galleries, bookstores and gift shops. Linda presently teaches watercolor painting in private classes in Gainesville, FL.

New Artist Ande Lister

We are featuring a wonderful new artist at Blue Highway Tioga!

Come take a closer look at the abstract creations by Ande Lister, an artist who has been “considering lilies” this spring. Inspired by a photograph taken at the edge of Lake Santa Fe, Ande created a series of beautiful, enigmatic paintings that draw the viewer in with their complex colors and brush strokes.
Using
thinned acrylics to create each calligraphic stroke, Ande creates a vibrant, yet calming vision on each canvas.

Ande earned her Master’s Degree in Art Education from the University of Illinois, and lived and worked as an artist in Peoria, Illinois for 10 years before moving to Gainesville with her husband. She now exhibits her work around the country in private and corporate collections, and we are pleased to have her amazing work on display! Come in and consider lilies with us, and contact andelister@gmail.com if something catches your eye!

Congratulations!

From all of us at Blue Highway, we would like to congratulate all those who graduated this weekend from the University of Florida and Santa Fe College. It is an amazing achievement and something to be extremely proud of! We wish everyone the best of luck with the bright futures ahead!
To everyone who chose to [...]
